Grow up.

You need to pay. It is a bidding, as mentioned in the first paragraph.

Oh yeah. Or trying to highlight something including text further down, you want to scroll it a little bit and suddenly it accelerates and you highlighted the wohle page.

Musk probably sees this as a confirmation it’s working as intended.

As my app posted the reply as a top comment, here it is again:

One important thing to take note of is: “Once your personal database has seen more than 200 spam and 200 non-spam emails, we automatically start using it to filter your incoming mail.” This means, before you have received 200 spam emails (or marked them as such), the filter is going to perform significantly worse.

Personally, initially it was pretty bad compared to Gmail. However, it significantly improved over time. One thing that helps are masked emails (fantastic) - an email you can create, or is even created automatically for you, and then enter at dubious websites. If you get spam, you can simply block the whole email or fine tune it.

Paid Fastmail User here since around half a year. Did extensive research on what provider to use and trialed fastmail for four weeks before buying. I went for a 3 year period. Fastmail has a fantastic set of features.

There are providers that are focused more on privacy (e.g. PGP. encryption, not being based in Australia) but that was not my top priority.

I have created a lengthy guide as part of my transition: I published the Markdown file to Fastmail at this link (it is a text file). As it was initially written just for myself, the format might not be very readable :)

Came here because I just discovered Kagi. On the topic of de-googling, the effort is a fair point. Like the other poster said: Start small. A few months ago I moved away from Google Mail, Contacts and Calendar. After detailed research and trialing, I made the move - the practical part of it took actually surprisingly little time. I’m using Fastmail now, so at least that part Google now has only very limited access to. Might be doing the same with Kagi for search.

Edit: Look like sync won’t let me reply to the right comment.

Oh wow, you sent me down a rabbit hole! That’s a great tool. Then I realized it requires an account, as it is a paid service. And their main service is a search engine, which seems really interesting so far (you get 100 searches free). Love the customization options! What’s your experience with the result quality? Not a huge fan of having to 0ay by search once beyond a threshold, but if the service is good…Google got super annoying with all the ads. But there’s still companies like Duckduckgo that offer great search as well.

That’s super interesting! Spooky, next to your AI-generated voice being used for fraud, but something I had not thought about before.

Good point. The two-party system has its advantages, but clearly also it’s flaws.

Interesting approach, could be a good solution for some of the issues mentioned in this thread.

If you are using your phone, get one of the mobile apps (Voyager, Liftoff, Infinite, Connect or Sync for Lemmy) and then use it just as with reddit. You already have created your account, thus chosen your instance, which is the biggest ‘This is different’ topic.

Basically, whenever you make a request to access something from the internet (say, an ad image), it goes to a dedicated server that tells you “Where actually do I find www.website.com” (the answer is, you find it at address 128.129.130.1, this is the IP address). This is the DNS server.

If you tell your phone to use an ad-blocking DNS server - Instead of “normal” ones like e.g. those provided by Google - , whenever it receives such a request to find the address for you, and the address leads to a server that serves ads, it tells you, “Sorry, nothing found here” and the add is not displayed.

Phones, at least Android, have a setting where you can change the DNA server to an ad-blocking one (a different IP of that server).

This is so weird to see as a European. You have Trump who directly or indirectly provided millions to his entire family - and the Republicans ignore it entirely -, and then you have Biden where his son made a statement like this.
