You’re partially right, I’d like to add some details: websites can also check if a domain (e.g. example.com) actually exists. So if you smash random letters on your keyboard and you end up with a non-existing domain, a website will be able to stop you from using that address.

More advanced websites also check for an MX record on the domain DNS. If a domain exists but it doesn’t have an MX record, then it’s not going to be able to receive emails and may be blocked in sign up forms.

Edit: not only an MX record, but also an A record, because if no MX record is present, then the mail is sent to the A record as a fallback (even though, in all honesty, I think this is a very uncommon configuration on the modern internet).

But there must be a (long) max length anyway, to prevent some kinds of attacks.

Damn he was right. I miss him.

And perfect lawns are horrible for the environment!

Qwant is also good. And it’s building their own index together with Ecosia.

No, I think that having more standardisation is key. Just join as a full EU member, and everything will be easier. Why bothering having your own currency when we can all have the euro?

Yes. Disabling RCS is the first thing I do on every new phone. Nobody uses text messages in my country anyway.

Haha yeah sure. That will never happen.

If you use Android, install Firefox, add the uBlock Origin plugin and your experience will instantly become better.

But it’s super sad that we need to resort to ad blockers to have a decent web experience.

You can also send them money in a letter

Also, the Proton CEO publicly supports Trump

🇮🇹 in the corner, crying

I can’t stand the fact that they don’t support Linux

I think copyright should last maximum 10 years. Plenty of time to earn enough from your creation.

Imagine how advanced we would be, as a civilization, if everything created before 2015 was free for everybody.

That’s exactly what Meta did, they torrented the full libgen database of books.

If they can do it, anybody should be able to do it.

I love em dashes. Fuck AI.

Proton = Trump support

So no for me.

Too bad the owner of Proton supports Trump, so when my two years subscription ends, I’m moving to Tuta or Posteo

Wii U also. You can download pirated games directly from Nintendo official servers.

Agree. I used to love GNOME, but after GNOME 3.0 everything went to the shitter.

I simply migrated to KDE and I just like it.
