I wish so much I could simply pay for ad-free versions of software, and I don't mean in-app purchases to unlock features, which I wish people didn't do and instead had a paid version in the store. I use f-droid as much as possible

> The lengths highway patrol go to enforce speed limits manually is insane to me. Enforcing speed limits is not among the things that I think police try at all to do. I rarely see anyone pulled over while driving, and of those, I reason,

Each family member has a subdomain all to themselves. The website before the @ allows them to know where the sender got the email address from. You can have catch-all addresses on emails, so anything without a mailbox is sent to the default
