Agree, there’s a lot going on. How I see it:

• @xxx are snaps, limiting result to any resource from a website e.g. Wikipedia.com

• !xxx are bangs, using the sites own search engine to return results. They are external searches, and might provide more (if the site does not expose certain parts to search engine) or less (if the site didn’t build search capabilities for some parts but they are indexable) than snaps.

• Lenses return search results based on certain criteria. Those could be a list of snaps (so domains), but also geography, keywords, file types, or they could exclude the same.

Haha yeah, it looks like a fake picture or some cartoon.

I’m sorry, but it seems like you’re playing with tools and code you don’t understand. First, this has nothing in common with a virus. That is either a click bait or you don’t understand what it is you are looking at. If it crashes your computer, it is simply badly written code. Any programmer has done something similarly (in their area of domain, ie not necessarily able to crash a computer).

For the next time, I would recommend you to use the AI to explain the code and ask questions about it.

What exactly do you mean, Linux had been "catching on’ since decades, you may need to wait for a while…

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.

I switched to Fastmail a few months ago and love it.

My tip is: Start simple.

1. If you have any other Domains forwarded to Gmail forward them to Fastmail instead.
2. Forward Gmail to Fastmail (i.e. add as an account including importing old mails). This won’t get you off Google yet, but at least a backup and you can practically stop using Gmail.
3. For any new registration, use Fastmail (or any of its random emails etc.)
4. Slowly transition your old accounts.

Abuse is certainly the wrong term, putting the blame on the user. Still, I think a ‘fair use’ is no longer given if you upload 20 terabytes or so. As usual, a minority overuses free services until they have to shut down or restrict usage.

Can’t help but enjoy this, given what a despicable human being he is.

I am was wondering why a former police commissioner would support him - lo and behold: “Bernard Bailey Kerik […] is an American consultant and former police officer who was the 40th Commissioner of the New York Police Department from 2000 to 2001. As a convicted felon, he obtained a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump in 2020 for his numerous federal convictions for tax fraud, ethics violations, and criminal false statements.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Kerik)

Haha, that’s a scary thought. But not unreasonable. Fine first and let the recipient proof they are not at fault,fighting through a series of AI entities.

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 :)

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 :)

Does that apply to free apps as well? I planned on publishing one but if need to pay USD 100 out of picket every year then clearly i won’t. Let me check that.

Edit: It does. The developer account is independent of what you publish. Well, then PWA without app store presence it is I guess.

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.
