I think they're fine to react to someone else's comment, but using them to react to your own comment is cringe. Just like when someone laughs at their own joke.

You can work around the need to go around updating all sites with your new email address... at least the next time you need to change your email address.

I use SimpleLogin to create a unique alias (on my own domain) for each website. When I finally migrated to Proton all I had to do was add the proton email address to SimpleLogin and delete my old GMail address to get it to point to Proton (I started migrating to aliases before moving away from GMail). Likewise if I ever move in the future I only need to update SimpleLogin. I was looking to move to Skiff when my Proton renewal was due!

To set this up I had to obviously update every single website which was very time consuming. However I have much better protection now as email addresses are disposable should a site start spamming me. The only site that actually knows my Proton email address is Bitwarden, Proton itself and SimpleLogin.

Looking in my account I have over 300 aliases. Crazy.

I liked Skiff but moved to Proton as Skiff was still too new for me to trust at the time. Glad I went with my instinct.

Shame though when people are actively taking their privacy seriously and getting away from the major free providers.

I went with SimpleLogin with a custom domain.

Their free tier storage offering was amazing. I honestly couldn't see how they could offer so much for free. I was very tempted at the time but chose proton. Although I think I may move to Fastmail when my renewal is due.

Regardless of who you choose. Use an aliasing service. It makes moving to a new provider/email address a breeze on the future. It took me days to go around updating all my 200 sites online. If I ever move from proton it will take me 5 minutes to ensure all my sites now go to my new provider.

My only tip would be to create a new domain rather than using a shared one. This will prevent some sites from blocking you from using an alias.

British streets were never built for the amount of cars we have today. I can see why parking half on/off is needed.

I live in a new estate where homes either have two spaces on their driveway or a parking space. People still park fully on the path. To the point if you was in a wheelchair you couldn't get by. People also don't use their allocated parking space and park outside their house on the footpath.

Not keeping track of American people is apparently worthy of downvotes.

I could hear what he was saying but he was talking quite fast which makes it harder to understand.

Man. I tried Skiff last year and was impressed. The only thing I didn't like was there was no easy export option for my mail. I ended up on Proton. Skiff was looking promising. Kinda glad I dodged that bullet now.

Not a dumb title,.just purposely "click bait"

That's a shame. Still, it's a start.
