Is this satire? I genuinely cannot tell anymore

Melon musk, the Stevia Jobs of Tesla. Owner of X, X, X and another thing called X

I don't think I wanna be provided a service that I know edgelord in chief will fuck with when he's salty.

Stevia Jobs is the harshest thing I've ever seen ol' musky be called

I appreciate that that wording must have been annoying (if not painful) to write for a trans person but she still did it because it was too good an opportunity to pass.

Yes, but this meme (somehow) needs an edit featuring Willam Defoe's character from Boondock Saints:

Gmail is arguably the last good thing Google still has going for it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Having to use Gmail for work, I heartily disagree lol. What a piss-poor email system

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I would argue that Google drive is also the last good thing Google still has going for it

Though still active, my Gmail now forwards everything to Proton Mail. It's not as nice, though very serviceable for the not-particularly-high volume of e-mail I receive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just wish proton mail supported clients.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It does have a bridge for Windows to use with other clients, not so much for phones though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but its still paid. don't see why they cant do that instead of some other useless product that no one will use.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

~~The bridge isn't paid?~~
You can also use Proton Mail for free, much like Gmail is free up to a certain storage point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure you have to pay to use the bridge, thats what i was referring to. I use proton main on the free plan.

https://proton.me/mail/bridge

says there that its only available for paid subscribers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Oh, my bad.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

nice litmus paper for forever ignoring people

[–] [email protected] 103 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Gmail rival

It's called an email provider and there are already a million of those. Don't act like it's some fancy high tech stuff

[–] [email protected] 55 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think you forgot who the target market is...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Damn. Imagine an email service that makes actual emails impossible to find, but constantly bombards your inbox with the most hellish cringest spam imaginable.

He's reinventing Yahoo Mail. Real "Return To Tradition" hours. It'll be like the 90s all over again.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (3 children)

If it does not ask for a phone number, it could be a good alternative for temp email.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There are a lot of existing alternatives to temp mail, you shouldn't need to resort to anything he has to offer..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

There are but most of them are blocked anyways

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Doesnt protonmail offer this?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

You can create Google accounts without phone number using any Android device. Perhaps even emulator would do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right, but then the account is inextricably tied to your Android device, no? Which is just as bad, if not worse imo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

But you can just use some old phone. Or perhaps emulator or something like Bliss OS installed on USB stick or in a VM.

But Google can and will probably link it with any device you log in on anyway. And after all, Android devices don't have to be used just by one person either. So perhaps removing the account from the device is good enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think it starts to ask you for a phone number if you log in on a desktop?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Didn't do that for me.
