Paul FordHappy Family Sysadmin day to all who celebrate.
Chris WilliamsI've moved all my relatives over to Chromebooks.
Blessed relief at no longer having to degooberfi Windows and Mac laptops.
Daniil BaturinThey're going to use Gmail anyway, so we might as well take advantage of that.
@gaffa @ftrain Again, I understand the individual motivation to save themselves effort, but I'm absolutely not convinced that just letting the monopolies win is a right thing to do in the long term.
The reasons why people are "going to use Gmail anyway" has nothing to do with its service quality — it's Google's habit of dropping messages from any other sources and getting away with that anti-competitive behavior.

I've never seen anybody say that was happening, and as far as I know it's never happened to me with any of my dozen or so Gmail accounts (that I used to fuzz their tracking.)
In this world, you kind of have to pick which devil you want to deal with, and Google has done reasonably well by me.
