There's nothing that can express my disdain for Google's reCaptcha.
😒 We're training its AI models 😒 It's free labor for Google 😒 Sometimes it wants the corner of an object, sometimes it doesn't 😒 Wildly inconsistent 😒 Always blurry and hard to see 😒 Seemingly endless 😒 It's the robot asking us humans if we're the robots
#AdoptDontShop and don't support breeders/puppy mills.
No such thing as a "pure bred" dog anyways.
Plus, mutts have far fewer health problems. "Pure breeds" are largely inbred and products of incest.
Yeah, it's only an aggregator that then points you to the original content. For legal reasons, I don't think OpenSourcely would be able to host the original content natively.
I started a website called OpenSourcely to do exactly this.
It aggregates news, projects, and announcements related to open source.
I'm always on the lookout for new RSS feeds and outlets to add to it, so if anyone has any, feel free to send them my way.
Nice, that's my screenshot (but not my post). Dope to see it surface again. 🤘
Feel free to pop them into the Markdown file, or send em my way.

Sounds like it. It happens with other Google services too. Someone could share a GDoc to your non-Gmail email, but if that non-Gmail email isn't a Google account, then you won't be able to access the doc/comments/whatever else (depending on the doc permissions, of course).
I suppose "harm" can be subjective in this context, and there are already some good replies here.
One more thing to add to the list that I'd consider harmful in creating a Gmail account is all of the privacy issues that come with having a Gmail account.
Out of respect for my recipients and myself, I wouldn't want all of our emails being read.
We can go down the rabbit hole of "Email is inherently insecure anyways," but that's a separate discussion.
Nice to see this as a standard, thanks. Edited to reflect this.
These are the best people on earth.
