All of the Google employees I've met have been incredibly vocal about security and privacy, really considerate about how technology should serve us, as well as being some of the kindest engineers I've ever met. I can't really square the HN attitude of Google being evil with my experience.

Do registrars send you warnings when their algorithms detect that you've broken their terms of service? If not, it's equally as at risk as the article suggests Gmail is.

Not everyone can manage a domain by themselves. I don't think I know enough about domain hijacking to keep mine safer than Google keeps theirs.

The employee should not have to put it in their ear.

Your feelings aren't lying to you. The personal satisfaction and motivation to do more that comes from you directly helping your neighbor makes it even better than just changing a flat tire.

Please stop telling users their preferences are incorrect.

It's because we're all still in the middle of getting burned by 1Password spending millions to make our app run worse and do less.

The content of your posts is not disproving that the entire system is broken.

The credit agencies could start requiring you to drink piss to apply for a card and folks here would immediately be talking about how that's normal and you should just refer to a subreddit flowchart for which agencies are the most watered down.

Look at Monarch Money and Copilot. Both are designed quite well.

Check out the Outlook web interface, it's so much better. They got the navigation delay down to 3-4 seconds! Also they have this safety feature where the delete button doesn't work unless you first archive and un-archive the message. The actual content view gets closer to a third of the screen space too, which is almost enough to load someone's 5 paragraph email signature. Now that's Enterprise Ready!

Well hey, thanks for doing half the work for me.

I have a Firefox extension that does this, but it only works on some sites and it's very much not complete. https://github.com/mike-u/firefox-apple-pay

Congrats to whoever invented the upvote paywall on that website.

Some of us find Firefox incredibly useful for this reason. When my company's intranet site is down you can't open a new tab on Edge without it crashing trying to get there.

What if they don't and I spent time micromanging my computer for nothing?

You don’t need the lock pin to unlock your credit. The form will ask if you remember it and if you click no it’ll disable that field and let you proceed.

It keeps happening because we aren’t allowed to delete our Experian accounts.

This seems good but I've never seen a manager who allows their subordinates to complete a two-phrase sentence. How have you trained yourself to speak fast enough to get this question out?

I also struggled to follow corporate meetings for a very long time and even went to therapy over them - it feels bad to be called incompetent for asking what an Information Summary Validation Assessment Risk Actualization is.

Sometime last year I realized that these meetings and terms don't have anything to do with rock climbing or mountain biking. Hopefully you can find that kind of peace too.

I did open a support ticket, they kept re-assigning it and asking for the same background information before I gave up.

This person says they use Matlab and R to send emails from Fastmail, does that help? https://thefiringneuron.com/tag/fastmail/

I had two job interview cycles derail when I used Fastmail because they didn't receive my event RSVPs and in one case lost the meeting details. I like Fastmail's customizability, but it's been incredibly harmful to me and now I think it's as dangerous as Tesla autopilot and the Juul.

What do you think of Elementary Mail? https://github.com/elementary/mail

I haven't used it in a couple of years but I really liked it for Gmail.

Off topic but while all the RSS people are here - does anyone know of a client or feed that can extract articles from websites that try to stop you from using RSS? Bikepacking.com is an example of this.

That sounds ridiculously frustrating. Does Cmd + ` pull up the call? I'm guessing no since Teams go out of its way to make notifications un-native and clunky, but maybe worth a shot.

Why do you think OS X will remove USB printer support in the future? I can't find any articles about that or anything hinting at that on the CUPS release notes.

This looks really great. Here's the installation guide that they make you put in an email to get to: https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11552529

You can spend them anywhere other than the bank.

They technically have fine print that they don't ever give refunds for unused time - https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/cancellations-refu.... When this happened to me I asked the support chat for confirmation in writing so I could file it with a chargeback, and they found a way to refund me without one.
