It's not that bad at all - that's my point. I use protonmail and for some other addresses, I self host. But it's the self hosting that showed me how much I live and die by the Big Ones. And yes, they set and drive policy for

The comparison to email (SMTP) is telling. I'm old enough to remember how SMTP almost collapsed beneath the first wave of spam in the nineties. These days, it's effectively centralized by an ogliopoly consisting of Gmail, Outlook,

I, a React developer, took three months off developing in React, only to forget how `useEffect()` works when you pass it no dependencies (vs when you pass it an empty array.) Idea: Build a map of things that are easily forgotten and treat
