Ugh. I just signed up for another year in July.

I don’t need my email to be exciting or edgy or whatever CEOs think I should pay extra for. It’s fucking mail. You literally have ONE job, but apparently that’s not enough “growth” for high-energy tech bros.

The stupid part is that I hardly use email anymore. It’s all signup and login confirmations daily notifications from my self-hosted server backups, unskippable Amazon purchase, shipping, and delivery notifications, and notifications from various banking and payment platforms. Probably 2% or less is actual correspondence. The vast majority of it gets deleted without ever opening it.

Adding AI services and features is just an excuse to charge more money.

Good trouble.

Flash drives are SLOW. Like others have said, use a USB-attached SSD.

I seem to remember seeing other stories like this about Jan 6 rioters and child porn. WTF is wrong with people?

Not advocating violence, but shit like this is going to lead to violence.
