Were you using simplelogin.io, which is part of Proton? It is actually possible to reply or send mails from the aliases you create there. The feature is called reverse-alias.

 

I watched a TV show with Japanese subtitles, and noticed the sentence: "秘密にしててほんとごめん。"

I was a bit confused because didn't know why there was a second て after the te-form of する. Because I didn't know how to look this up in my textbook or on Google, I asked a certain AI chatbot about it.

It tells me that してて is actually a contraction of していて (te-form of する and いる).

秘密にしててほんとごめん。 meaning "I'm really sorry for keeping it a secret."

秘密にしてほんとごめん。(without the second て) would only mean "I'm really sorry for making it a secret."

Is this correct?

I tried that, but I much prefer the haptics of real paper and writing with an actual pen. Also, I really like the look of ink on paper. Of course, there are still cases when a tablet is just the best. For example, when annotating PDFs.

pro tip: you can still write ugly if you use a fountain pen

Yes, but for my own notes it's not a problem if the handwriting is ugly. I still like to write by hand, even if my handwriting looks pretty messy.

I think you‘ll have to be patient. It takes time for people to discover your community
