Use an alias service like addy.io or Proton’s SimpleLogin (I think DDG has a service too, or did) to create an email address to forward emails to your actual address, and then just don’t use the alias for anything else. I believe both of those take anonymous payment methods.
You can import the repo into F-Droid.
Indeed. It’s all a shell game to crush the power of labor (particularly in the tech industry) and pump up stock prices. It’s definitely enshittifying work for a lot of people, but an apocalypse it is not. All the nigh-eschatological talk comes from the mouths of specious tech CEOs trying to keep the scam going.
Posteo markets itself on being green, if that’s important to you.
If their website doesn’t work, start calling and sending letters, too. When it starts affecting more than the IT staff, things might change.
Oh, for sure, but I do like to qualify my statements when I’m speculating without evidence. It is wild, though, once the you start seeing how much reality doesn’t align with the endorsed narrative.
I almost wonder whether these regulations exist not to protect data, but to lull the public into a sense of complacency. Perhaps that’s a tad conspiratorial, but so many laws exist to make legislators look good rather than serve their purported raison d’etre - just look at that OS-based age verification nonsense. At the very least, the national security state has a use for such things, regardless.
On the contrary, it would take a lot to stretch my credulity with how little people understand security and how much they love convenience.
You’re probably right about fax. Telecom infrastructure in the US is notoriously insecure, as demonstrated by Salt Typhoon, and the only reason there has been little regulatory pressure to secure it is that the NSA et al love how easy it is to spy on us.
People think HIPAA is sancrosanct, but I’m willing to bet hospital IT departments aren’t thoroughly vetting their third-party contractors as much as one would hope.
You don’t hear about Monsanto anymore only because they were bought out by Bayer in 2018. You can be sure they’re up to the same garbage under new management.
I cannot imagine being excited by advertisements. Sounds like something out of Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World.
This is just ID verification in another guise. The second I see one of these, I’ll stop using the website I see it on.
Given Ken Klippenstein’s recent article about the FBI pursuing terrorism investigations against minors, I don’t think this is coincidence. I think they actually want to cut teens off from viewpoints that oppose the regime.
Posteo accepts other currencies as well, though obviously mailing cash internationally takes longer.
