If by "pay for your email" you mean "pay for a server to run it on". I'm not aware of paid mail service that's decent, Gmail went to the bottom of the barrel these days. So why won't you just do it yourself? exim works out of the box with no configuration needed beyond setting a valid hostname+reverse. Add dovecot if you prefer a GUI client (you obviously don't sound like a mutt person...), and there you go.
Worlds easier than that paid shit you promote, where for a simple task you need to ask around even when working for a VIP (VERY VIP) client...
It doesn't matter if there are better alternatives, it matters how the person making the decision will benefit personally, any considerations for the company be damned. So IRC being technically better, available on all platforms, trivially bridgeable to any transport, and so on, doesn't matter as it fails the primary enterprise rule.
Well, humans tend to want what is best in life -- which, according to a wise man, is "To crush your enemies. See them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of the women."
You're reversing the burden of proof here. There's no way to prove a negative no matter how good you are. And, all the democrite party needs to win here is to stall the nomination, then stall whoever gets picked second, then third... They can continue this indefinitely. Just ask repugnicants how this can be done.
The rules abuse in the US is downright scary. On the other hand, your politicians are at least following the rules' letter, unlike what the national-communists (yes, far-right communism) in Poland do. They picked and signed their own Constitutional Tribunal justices for seats that were already taken and passed bills that made any processing by that tribunal effectively impossible (despite both of these actions having been declared as unconstitutional by that very tribunal). Then they replaced the National Council of Courts, again in a way blatantly contrary to the constitution. Then right now they're doing the same thing to the Supreme Court; the judges protested to the EU but the national-communist regime seems to prefer having Poland get kicked out of the EU over obeying EU incoming rulings.
Nuclear: no carbon pollution at all, its first commercial iteration being several orders of magnitude safer than most (and at least 1 than any) "renewables" (and especially coal or oil), any subsequent iterations being drastically safer than even that. Any opposition against nuclear is 100% political.
When intelligence agencies deliver a court- and gag-order that says they want all searches originating from a particular IP, and youre not allowed to say a word about it
That's why it's vital to do all searches over Tor -- which DuckDuckGo supports well, unlike infinite captcha loops on Google.
People prefer convenience over privacy, but once there's no convenience cost, there's no reason to not use the safer way,
Create a bookmark to "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s" with keyword "d", then type "d foo" into the URL bar. Then get rid of that useless "search bar" space waster. With this setup, there's no need for any kind of a "home page", and you can also use any other keyworded site (like "wp" for Wikipedia) without requiring multiple steps.
Because the SJWs are religious nutjobs. It's just that it's currently more beneficial to not identify as a religion, as it allows funding and laws from any subjugated part of the government (incl. education) -- compare to Scientology going the other way.
Same rhetoric, different agenda.
Not even that different. They merely bear different labels, but want the same: control, power, getting rid of unbelievers, etc. And both use the same methods. Racism/etc is also the same, merely with preferred skin color having changed.
As a kid, in early elementary school I was forced to go to a 1st May parade. Haven't even finished the elementary school before being forced to go to a Corpus Christi procession, with the same people bearing banners that looked like they had the same frames as before, just the content changed; so did words spoken through the loudspeakers.
As far as stuff like the proximity and lighting sensors, there are direct APIs and I couldn't tell you why phones give developers access to those by default.
Sounds like they haven't learned the lesson of battery API yet...
Hah! Now I feel smug that the only working browser on my phone has no vulnerabilities of this kind at all.
Backporting a modern bloated browser for a system this old would be a massive task, and Nokia ended support for N900 ages ago. Never had the time to manage to get working one of community-made distributions made in the last few years, so it's elinks on the phone for me. I dare not to even contemplate Firefox or Chrome running on 256MB RAM. They're the reason why riscv has a 128-bit version...
I do not eat insects. No bird we commonly eat eats insects either. My cat is too lazy to hunt birds these days. Thus -- mosquitoes having health problems? What's the downside?
Allwinner is garbage. This is the shit you get in those chinese Raspberry Pi clones.
Uhm, what? They run circles around anything Raspberry Pi can do. Here's for example why rpi open firemware died because Raspberry is utter shit. And just see what the author recommends instead. Allwinner is a cheap-and-cut-corners alternative, but at least it gets shit done. Its support is also mostly non-existant, but the community managed to write free drivers — including beating the ATF into shape, so it's ready, included in Debian and mostly merged upstream (this one lacks a few patches for Pinebook/etc).
signed up for GMail back in 2004 and got her firstname.lastname@gmail.com
Interestingly, every single report of this problem in comments to this article comes from GMail users, typically also with initial.lastname@gmail.com or firstname.lastname@gmail.com address.
Looks like an obvious namespacing problem: instead of cramming a billion people into @gmail.com, why wouldn't they split it into a large number of domains? With or without Google's cooperation -- for the former, Google can stop digging the hole and redirect new signups to spaces elsewhere; for the latter, people can do like you for your mother, and move to more competent mail providers.
I'd expect failures like randomly dropping incoming mail after accepting it at SMTP dialog to happen for redchan.it not for gmail, ran by the biggest group of supposedly skilled SREs. Is it that hard to understand: once you respond with a 2XX, the mail must be delivered? Spam fighting is not an excuse: if a well-behaved sending server giving you a 100% hammy mail gets classified as spam for a bullshit reason, you do give a honking reject not an accept+drop, capisce?
On many sites there's useful www.foo and useless www.m.foo; seeing the m lets you know that a link you followed led you to the broken version, so you can immediately rectify that. Not so if that part of the URL is hidden.
Bah you newcomers, master Twardowski is there already for nearly five hundred years. And unless the devil somehow managed to alter the contract again, he's still alive.
The turbo button was actually a misnomer, it was actually a "slow button" to allow for backwards compatibility with older games
Not on oldest machines, where the default was 4.77MHz but you could switch to an 8MHz mode that was "not recommended to use for long, and may cause instability". It was Ctrl-Alt-Minus rather than a physical button.
Later on, when actual physical buttons appeared, one of machines I had featured a button that popped in/depressed itself when you pressed the Ctrl-Alt-Minus combination; kid me considered that effect insanely cool.
Yeah, it is time to boycott a language where political correctness trumps technical merit -- especially if the same language enforces whitespace bondage&discipline. So drop Python, we welcome you on the Perl side!
Except that the marketing is aimed at getting new people into that truly filthy and medically self destructive habit. In this case, cigarettes hardly ever get fruit flavouring, thus smokers can't be accustomed to that, and the argument about helping them drop the habit is pure bullshit.
Damn.... It'll be interesting to hear the Apple haters rationalise this.
You're forgetting that many Apple haters also hate other phone vendors. I have never owned any pixel-addressable-screen-equipped mobile device that lacked an audio jack, and I don't intend to do so in near future.
If people buy crippled phones based only on fashion value, shame on them!
Socialism or communism can at least work in theory as there is an economic flow between the individuals and government.
Well yes, this has been tried many times. "Give us money or we'll shoot you" tends to facilitate that flow. Murdering a million here ten there fifty millions there lets people know you're not making idle threats.
In that very journal, "Earth" is listed separately from "Planets".
It's obvious that as long as you perceive an object differently than all others of its kind, you at least instinctively exclude it from the grouping even though you rationally know otherwise.
So far, it's only science fiction where the Sun has no special distinction and thus needs an actual proper name -- as when you're standing on a planet "the sun" will refer to the local star. For today astronomers, all observations are done from our particular solar system, thus you didn't need such a name _yet_.
"The X", "the x", "an x" doesn't work -- problematic in writing, impossible in speech, so the proper name can't be mere capitalization of the common noun.

Here's a better link. Instead of trusting they don't track me, I prefer some additional assurance.
It's like the religious right wing nutjobs
Because the SJWs are religious nutjobs. It's just that it's currently more beneficial to not identify as a religion, as it allows funding and laws from any subjugated part of the government (incl. education) -- compare to Scientology going the other way.

Can you name a contemporary song that you actually wanted to hear twice, let alone more often?
There's plenty, but none whose label is a member of the RIAA.
Vatican City. It has a litteral wall. Made from stone.
Nope, Vatican doesn't touch the Tiber, so no litteral wall either. There's a street or a park on the other side of the wall on all its length.
I do not eat insects. No bird we commonly eat eats insects either. My cat is too lazy to hunt birds these days. Thus -- mosquitoes having health problems? What's the downside?

But don't let science get in the way of some good political FUD, eh?
Then how do you explain new results that show vaping to be nearly as harmful as smoking, just in very different ways?
So, uhm, I'd consider looking whether either of the studies got some kind donations from nice guys so interested in making people healthier...
Except that the marketing is aimed at getting new people into that truly filthy and medically self destructive habit. In this case, cigarettes hardly ever get fruit flavouring, thus smokers can't be accustomed to that, and the argument about helping them drop the habit is pure bullshit.
