Not since Christmas, but most of March, and I’ve still got a slight sniffle. There was about a week in the middle of that there I tested positive for Covid, but that’s weeks ago now.
I’ve seen stories about this. If it’s so hot it makes someone else ill, but you can eat it, you’re fine. If you maliciously make it too hot for anyone, that’s apparently unacceptable.
While I don’t disagree with you in principle, I do find it a bit funny that you’ve picked one of the easiest services to change between as your hill.
There’s no reason you _ have_ to use Gmail, or Hotmail. There are a billion email providers and if you have enough technical knowledge, you can even run your own (I really don’t recommend this though, it’s harder then it seems to do it safely and securely).
If you pick a provider outside the US, your government can’t do dick about getting it shut down, and if you pick one in a particularly privacy-conscious country, you can have everything encrypted to the point where the provider themselves can’t read your messages.
Also, I assume this is similar in the States, but I’ve seen government IT projects in the UK and some of them are truly awful. I wouldn’t necessarily trust them to look after important emails for me. Plus a single source of email would be an awfully tempting target for hacker groups around the world.
It’s like… I want to disagree with you, but you’re making me think.
Why are we ok with having required services that are only provided by third party companies?
They’re not specific - No government says you must have a Facebook or Twitter account. But you’re right - you have to have a bank account and you’ll not get far in 2024 without email.
What about a step further? If you want a phone number, you need a landline or mobile. Both of those are only provided by private companies too…
Ah, when it said “Biden Administration” and “quietly funded”, I thought it meant they could skip those assholes that are leaving Ukraine to die because their good-emperor is so far up Putin’s ass that he can see tonsil.
