Same old shit with everything. A company makes a move that users don't like. The company just ignores all the flak they are getting online. The uproar calms down and then things continue.

We're seeing this more and more. Windows with ads, Amazon adding ads to their prime video account holders. Spotify moving lyrics to their premium subscription. The past couple of years are shit and companies continue to do whatever the fuck they want.

I started dual booting to Arch Linux and more often than not I boot more now into Linux than Windows 11. I've used Windows since 3.11. Microsoft really have fucked Windows recently.

Does that include cheap Bluetooth devices that need a password and use 0000?

Where I am from, saying thank you doesn't warrant a response. It's certainly something I heard when I took a trip to New York though.

This is the same with everything. Twitter, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Apple etc. They all shit on their users, people complain but then they just accept it. As long as people just keep sucking it up they'll continue to do what they want.

I'm not a complete newb when it comes to Linux but I am a newb for running it as my main desktop OS. I ran Mint for a few months but the game I play just stopped working. I kept booting back into Windows as a work around. I eventually wiped Mint off and went with Arch. I gotta admit I was expecting to run into issues but I've had no issues at all. I've always been a fan of minimalism so Arch has always been on my radar. I'm glad I sucked up the courage to try Arch as it really has worked out well for me.

Yes, a royal pain in the ass. However. I did it recently but the way I did it means any future moves, of all my 300+ websites that I have logins for, is now done in seconds.

I signed up for SimpleLogin and a custom domain. I then went around creating aliases for all these sites. Changing the sites is indeed the worst part. Still, this is the last time I will ever do it. All my aliases were pointing to my Gmail account. Once I'd finished I settled on Proton. I just moved all my aliases to my Proton email address.

No one knows my Proton email address other than SimpleLogin.

I haven't yet, but I can now ditch Gmail. I still keep the account for a number of reasons but none are for emails.

I've also been testing Tutamail. I can get aliases to go to multiple mailboxes. I have the ability to respond to the emails from either Tuta or Proton and the recipient is none the wiser of where my mailbox resides.

The sending mail server will keep trying for a period of time. Eventually though it will give up and return the email to the sender with an error message.

Proton allows you to export as eml or mbox. Seems fine to me?

Doesn't work for me. Pixel 8.
