As a sign there are still, er, individuals out there who think SMTP callbacks were a good idea.

Please have them read "Twenty-plus years on, SMTP callbacks are still pointless and need to die" (2017) nxdomain.no/~peter/twenty-plus

Interesting analysis "Multiple countries in Europe are critically dependent on services provided by Microsoft. Querying mail-servers teaches that in some countries, over 70% of all public services rely on this American provider."

Apple Mail App, wir müssen reden. Fangen wir mal mit dem Positiven an: #Apple hat sich bemüht mit dieser neuen 'Kategorisierung'. Wie bei allen Apple-Apps mangelt es dann an so vielen Kleinigkeiten, so vieles funktioniert nicht intuitiv oder es geht nicht, dass man es nach fünf Minuten beiseite legt und als unbrauchbar 'kategorisiert'.
Ich verstehe es nicht. Die Apple-Leute benutzen ihre Produkte doch auch?

'In a process that will be familiar to those with side hustles, the postboxes can be used to drop off packages that have barcoded postage. Once customers have scanned their code – the postbox’s batteries store energy to power its scanner when there is no sun – the drawer on the front opens. They can then use the Royal Mail app to request “proof of posting”.'

I just want to put out there that there are real strong virtues to writing letters and sending greeting cards that aren’t necessarily “present” in emails.

• They get you off line.

• They help you craft thoughts carefully and purposefully in ways email can’t because you have to manually write it without “deleting” it.

• They’re fun to receive.

• They physically exist and will continue to do so if collected and cared for even after you’re dead.

• They can be pretty if that’s your intent.

• They’re more personal and meaningful than email because you took the time to engage in the process of penmanship on paper instead of typing it out.

I highly suggest trying the art of correspondence someday. Because it can be just that if you let it. Try unplugging and decompressing with a nice pot of tea and your favorite pen & stationery. Try contemplating a rough outline of what you want to say or include. Then simplify.

Maybe do some fun doodling on the paper. Make it an extension of yourself that you’re sharing.

Enjoy it.

Also jetzt hab ich doch echt kurz überlegt, ob das wirklich sein kann, dass ich 1,95 Euro zahlen soll, damit mir weiterhin E-Mails zugestellt werden... und wollte mich schon aufregen, dass man als zahlender Kunde nun auch noch extra zahlen muss und so. 🤡

Aber gut gemacht ist diese Spam-Mail ja...
