I do wish there was an instance that becomes perhaps half as popular as Reddit did at its peak. Just barely enough so we can expose to opinions outside the typical young tech-enthusiast crowd.

It had enough eye candies for the casual market, but that was it. I still mourn for the death of IRC outside the tech-dev circles.

I get your message, but I was not referring to the machine. I was referring that the what kind of data logged by the machine didn't matter in the context of privacy.

I was very tempted to go for this one, but couldn't find info on whether this was a one-man operation or if there are any disaster recovery plans. Sounds cruel, but if that one single guy my email depends on gets hit by a bus...

You mean those websites that instead of email input fields there are multiple horizontal stripes saying "Login with Google" and such?

I hate them, too... but I suppose it's for the mobile crowd that don't make distinctions between sms, fb/whatsapp messages, and email altogether.

I wonder if all those gmail accounts will be seen like yahoo addresses one day.

Be careful OP that after first year you have to pay the 'renew' price, which is generally higher than 'register' price. A lot of cheap domain offers use that trick expecting users to become attached to their domains.

The nature of his medical condition isn't relevant here. It could be his blood pressure, heart beats, whatever that makes an insurance company charge a premium on that poor sucker.

It's not that simple, cuneiform and hyeroglyphs had been accompanied by sophisticated systems representing phonemes and grammar elements of the languages it was being written with. People make the same mistakes regarding chinese characters (older scripts or more "primitive" scripts equated to simple drawings and nothing else). 🤷
