I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com.

I don’t give my personal email address to literally anyone. Everyone gets an alias.
Once someone gets your personal email address and leaks it, there is no way to stop spam. You cannot delete your personal address because it is your account identity.
Firefox Relay, AnonAddy, SimpleLogin, all great services.
I have a business email address that I’m just unfortunately stuck digging through spam.
I don’t expect it either, which is why these things don’t make sense anymore, and why I actually recently passed them up for an X86 competitor. Prices of RPi’s have inflated, supply has gone down to nothing, and all the while all sorts of competition has entered the SBC scene that provides a much better value.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the RPi and I feel like a real cool nerd with bare PCBs sitting around my house, but they’re just too expensive now.
Of course the pi 4 is still part of the product range. It’s still being actively manufactured and sold.
Its a 5-year old product. With 5 year old specs.
As far as memory size, that wasn’t part of your original complaint.
Yes I also didn’t specify a clock speed, storage size, network speed, etc. What I meant was a modern version of an old product with similarly modern specs.
$35 in 2012 is $47 today
And yet the Pi5 starts at $60.
You’re also missing the other half of this conversation where other SBCs have come way down in price.
Le Potato, Orange Pi, Zima products, Rockchip, not to mention all the X86 mini PCs, old office PCs, etc.
Biggest benefit of those things is that they come with SATA ports so you can use them to build a <$100 2-bay NAS which is about half the price of popular competitors but with way more power.
Hi guys! I think I’m over Joplin. Don’t get me wrong, it’s simple, it works, but… why is it Postgres db…. I have the server on a small box with like 250 GB of space and backing it up with kopia to Backblaze with free 10 GB, so I’m a bit storage cautious....
I’ve been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it’s for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence,...
Actually their pages say it is hard to find Linux devs for desktop, and that is why it is slow.
Again, the reason is irrelevant. The point is, it ain’t happening.
And as far as critisim you said specifically not as good as google, so I provide a reason why. you can’t then change you tact and say it wasn’t critism
That’s not “changing tact”. It’s not as good as Google from a user perspective. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have it’s own merits. I pay for a Proton subscription rather than use a free, much more fully-featured Google one, so I obviously understand the value proposition. I also understand it’s shortcomings.
You seem to keep moving goal posts here so have a good rest of your week.
I don’t suppose you want to elaborate on what goal posts I’ve supposedly moved?
No, I’ve just been a customer for several years. Development is slow and things like this are simply not a priority. They’re not even a little close to matching Google.
Dev is slow because they release a good User experience, rather than buggy junk
The reason is irrelevant. It wasn’t a criticism, just an observation.
Linux seems to be 3rd on their list but it comes eventually.
No, they have almost no Linux support. Most things have to be done in the browser. When there is Linux support, it is extremely basic.
Per the link you can use Windows or Mac sync now.
Cool. Doesn’t help Linux users.
Don’t forget google had a long head start and almost unlimited devs.
See point 1.
There was a long podcast interview with the CEO where he basically said Linux is and will continue to be looked over due to increased development costs and very low adoption.
tl;dr the company Taylor manufactures the ice cream machines to fail without any explanation or diagnosis process, then charge wildly exorbitant fees to fix them, and cut McD’s in on the profit. Some franchises found ways around this and McD’s just ordered them to stop. So the franchises just leave them broken as often as possible.
When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**
