As soon as you leave English language wikipedia this happens fairly often. Not necessarily Russian, maybe adjacent. And not since yesterday! I noticed around Corona, and it’s been a problem for way longer. It’s relatively easy for 1 editor to slip through unnoticed if there isn’t enough eyeballs on the article, and hey they can write what their overlords tell them unchallenged.

Is the article anything beyond iOS advertisment?

forwarding can fail

how so?

i just connect to POP and get everything in bulk

That can also fail.

forwarding changes the original headers

if i forward spam my provider gets pissed

Both these things are fixable with standard mailing software.

PS: I also don’t see why this forwarding-or-fetching is necessary at all. It’s easy to maintain several email addresses on any device.

What the other commenter suggests is not better.

It’s not an all-or-nothing type situation.

like switching from Walmart to 15 other stores just to buy the same stuff

As the other commenter pointed out: you do that once. And if you do it properly, nobody will be sending anything to a gmail address you don’t use anymore.
Then you have 15 stores all around the same parking lot, to stick with your analogy.

And yes, it’s always a trade-off with convenience, but much less so than you make it sound.

BTW, above list sucks, there are much better lists of alternatives around. And articles that describe how to switch etc. etc.

Openstreetmap (OSM) is a much larger project than you seem to realize. At least OSMAnd is “theirs”, and there is many apps/sites/software that use OSM behind the scenes. E.g., all the official route planners of cities in my country.

And if you REALLY want to help, openstreetmap has very good tools for adding information, though you need to use the website for it since it can get quite complex which makes it a bit more cumbersome.

Every bit helps. Desktop apps exist. OSMAnd has editing built in.

On second thought you’re absolutely right. Report created.

edit: oh, this is YSK, I was thinking more about IT communities.

The normal process would be to tell these other accounts to send emails to your primary account. Why would you even authorize another software (or mail provider) to fetch them instead.

Filters are available (almost) everywhere.

Thanks for pointing that out!
I had assumed one of the reasons the list feels so weak to me is because they didn’t want to add selfhosted alternatives.
But since that is not the case, the list is even weaker than I thought.

This is a strong list: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Some people are willing to contend with less perfect UIs to get away from Big Tech.

The list is incomplete, a bit dumb, and mostly advertising anyhow. Each heading should have many more and often better alternatives.

And as mentioned elsewhere, many cited alternatives are not degoogled at all.

And once you go that way you should go one step further and look for open source alternatives. I’m pretty sure some listed aren’t that either.

There are better curated, less biased lists out there.

Futurama is chock full of big and little jokes, many not spoken, and I often have to pause to read them.

Nixon’s head refering to his people as “fellow Earthicans” is always on point somehow. Also endorsing products during his speeches. And calling the flag “ol’ Freebie”.

Also, considering Futurama was most active in the 20-oughts, it’s often interesting to see how they satirize the very same issues the US are dealing with today.

I’m currently re-watching the whole shebang and sometimes I just have to take a screenshot. Unpolitical, therefore somewhat OT:

That’s how I read that as well.

Could it really be as simpe as that? yes, according to the article. AI sucks so hard, who let it out of a laboratory?

True for content that is available this way, and if you have a flatrate broadband connection.

That’s what they’re doing:

Recently digitalized bunch of DVDs and BluRays.
