This might have been the plan, but it doesn't happen in my experience. I've tested it multiple times and Gmail loads those images when you open the email and it's possible to track when users open their email. It also appears

In terms of the binding agreement, it isn't any different, except you can can move to different providers whereas if you don't own that domain, the service provider has you by the balls.

Yes, I am aware, I'm a Fastmail customer. > they aren’t reading your mail to target ads at you Neither does Google ;-)

by bad_user 6y ago
It's not the same thing, because by paying for it you have a binding contract and can switch providers too. If you don't pay for it, then you don't have a claim on that email address, as the terms of use can change at a momen

In my book "email done right" is using email addresses on your own domain . Using @fastmail.com makes no sense to me. If being locked into somebody else's domain is acceptable, then Gmail is a better deal. And if you still i

Why would you pin a certificate that you did not generate for a domain that's not yours?

That Safari doesn't ship with an ad blocker, indeed, that was the point, and it never will. And its content blocking, speaking both as a user and as somebody that worked on anti-ad-blocking technology, is really easy to circumvent and

This is true, but then again absolutely all browsers are being funded by ads. We are talking Edge, Safari, Brave, all of them. Did you know that Apple does in fact get more money from Google than Mozilla does, for keeping their search engin

Such as? These trade agreements are global. The countries that don't have trade agreements are usually those suffering through an embargo.

Right, so the reason for why the CPC is oppressive towards its own people is because of the US? Got it. You're talking btw with someone born in communism, in Eastern Europe. We blamed the imperialist enemy from the west too and our gov

US copyright is enforceable overseas due to trade agreements. As a US citizen do you think you can infringe EU's copyright law? It is true that US's culture has spilled into the terms of use of some of these services. I still reme

I have some experience on being recruited. Most of the messages you receive are indeed junk. But that's not the value of LinkedIn. The value is being connected and receiving recommendations from your current or former colleagues. That&

Indeed, but it does use the Bing Ads network. It's deeply integrated too, sending Windows's Advertising ID (for "relevant ads") to Bing.

Option 2 isn't stupid, because once you take that money you are beholden to a contract, which comes with both explicit and implicit clauses. For example Apple would never implement ad blocking by default in Google's Search, not as

by bad_user 6y ago
Factually untrue. Google is paying Apple billions of dollars ($9 billion in 2018, $12 billion in 2019) to remain the default search engine in Safari. AFAIK Apple is getting more money from Google than Mozilla does :) You could say that if t

It might be difficult but how is that in any way relevant? Mozilla's behavior is consistent. Except for a few mistakes that were in my opinion minor, they proved trustworthy repeatedly. Also let's get the facts straight... all maj

Skinny people getting T2D have a less flexible adipocytes tissue (aka fat tissue). They cannot store excess energy as subcutaneous fat, because they don't have a subcutaneous fat layer that can store that energy. But once you look at t

No. The adipocytes, aka the fat cells that can store energy, are in limited supply. Some people have a more flexible adipose tissue then others. Some people can store very little or no subcutaneous fat at all, all of the accumulated fat is
