They’re disposable. The whole service is disposable. That’s the whole point. This isn’t a redirect to your existing email a-la-iCloud+ “Hide My Email”. You close the tab and the address is gone.

There's no such limit anymore. It costs more, but all phones support SMS concatenation

Oh yes they do. GA is part of a company that also sells services in Italy. They should follow the law if they want to keep earning that non-US Adwords money that allows GA to remain free.

Are there any precedents of large companies doing that (successfully)? YouTube particularly can't afford to play games like this because TikTok has no problem following the rules and taking YouTube’s viewers like it's been doing.

Doesn't YouTube already kind of do that? If you're not logged in, you will see content popular in the current region, which often is from the region itself. Once logged in, I generally see more of the same content I watch and se

Reasonable doesn’t mean a hobbyist would pay $100/year for this. That’s not pocket money for most of the world.

Unfortunately there's no such thing as free forwarding. help@ sees an email coming from your email account and it can be marked as spam. Not worth it. Just mark it as spam.

Granularity is fine and often welcome, but following the unsubscribe link should also show what else is enabled and let me disable it on the spot. Unfortunately this dark pattern is rather common, I think most social networks do that.

I think that at a minimum we need to ban "opt-out" notifications and the abuse of "vital" mailing lists you can't unsubscribe from. I'm tired of having to deal with (i.e. Mark as spam) a barrage of emails every

Microsoft made the mistake of letting users keep IE11 next to Edge. Egregious. Having a IE mode for whitelisted websites would have killed IE11 on public internet a long time ago. “Website broken? Click here to try IE11 mode.” But no, IE is

iOS made the mistake of conflating wifi with “internet”, it will even attempt to kick you off a wifi if it doesn’t have internet, but it will gladly show you the icon even before logging you into the captive portal. The current situation is

Is this Groundhog Day? How many more times will IE be declared dead? Official support is irrelevant if the browser is still stubbornly used by users. Most websites have moved on more than 5 years ago. This news is meaningless. This confirms

Software stealing focus is an awful antipattern and I wish macOS would fix this crap. Even on iOS, which is otherwise good with this, will gladly interrupt whatever you’re doing to show you a fullscreen captive portal. Obnoxious, especially

> leave stuff the hell alone when it works fine Agreed. However I always take too long to locate stuff in System Preferences. Zig-zag scanning is so inefficient it's easier to just search for stuff: That's a UI failure.

Those are rookie numbers. I think the % of people who can be easily fooled is almost 100%. There are fewer and fewer people who live their lives doubting what they see unless they’re already attached to the opposite of that idea. Most peop

If Python 3 was just named Cobra 1, I guaranteed that Python 2 would have been “forked” Increasing the version is a straightforward way to say “n is outdated, use n+1.” As a publisher I don’t want to start a new project with zero followers,
