Most probably true. It is sad though that they are not straightforward about it so that they send a list of domains they like.

I know I cannot win this one, but on my last attempt to reason with them, I asked for a list of allowed domains...

Sucks to see something go this way. Recently I was forced to flash stock ROM on an older phone to be able to use revolut, because they cracked down on custom firmwares...

Oh, the good ol' T&C violation, of course not saying which part... vinted is smashing hard on people not using big tech solutions.

You practically either have the option to use your "subdomain" e.g. [email protected] or if you are fine with random characters, then you can have an address on the main domain e.g. [email protected]. Unfortunately this is not the first provider I see only accepting big tech addresses/accounts...

Alright, not 100% correct, but I am paying for a plan at addy.io and I used my personal "subdomain" at addy.io that I don't want to share here, because it does not matter.

My guess is that the agents answering are also not shared any information why some domains are blocked. I would also think that they have no idea what a domain is. Not the chatbots that answered the first couple of mails. :D

Ez emlékeztet a hinnye-mémekre még régebbről. Volt köztük pár vicces, sajnos egy sincs meg...

 

Just a little storytime about Vinted.

I just wanted to register on Vinted to sell some second-hand stuff, because I haven't had much success elsewhere. I would have never imaged that they will reject my addy.io alias. After a couple of annoying e-mails detailing how to register an account, I was left with the answer on the screenshot after trying to get an explanation why the domain I am paying for (not some random free gmail address) is not worthy of their services...

The idea is that is it more "real" than the other social media apps, because you cannot prepare your best self for the photo and not necessarily the best memory of that day will be recorded. Reality is that most people (maybe all people) have a relatively boring life (it's not everyday that something worthy of attention happens) and there is not much value in sharing e.g. your lunch. Most people had it that day and yours was also not that extraordinary.

Unfortunately since facebook (maybe instagram topped it) everyone may have their own tabloid platform to share their everyday life as celebrities do on tabloids and people seem to love it.

Not to mention the huge privacy concern that you post of a photo everyday, which may include your location, definitely your face and other useful information that may be used to hurt or annoy you in some way.

That's what Iam aiming for at the next hardware update. I don't have the space for a server rack and a SFF desktop would also not fit into my home, so a miniPC it'll be. I cannot wait to move to x86.

I have a laptop that needs a proprietary wifi driver. I just "love" it when the debian net installer works out of the box, but after first boot wifi dies because the driver is missing in the installed instance :D I need to find a lan cable, do some athletics to get to the router, then install the driver and only then I can connect via wifi :D
