Today's tech fuckup that's making life unnecessarily difficult: Zinio associates subscriptions with e-mail addresses, which really screws with the fact that I don't use the same e-mail address on every single website.

If they said any of this up front, I could have made sure to use the same, but now I have A Problemâ„¢.

Falsehoods Programmers Believe About E-Mail:

- people have one unique e-mail address.
- that e-mail address never changes.

@xgranade E-mail doesn't need to be verified, the user gave it to you, right? (less commonly believed, but commonly enough practiced)

@jmeowmeow @xgranade oh, I forgot that...

Well no, because it's annoying and also commonplace alongside discrimination for the way people setup their eMail.

  • For example, I can't co-sogn the #web0manifesto by @aral because of some absurd bs. it has implemented that noone else cares about and I'm not gonna restructure my #eMail setup because of some absurdity, espechally since I've never seen a reaction to my error reports whatsoever...

@[email protected] add to that more falsehoods they believe, like: - eMail are reliably recived. - eMails will be read. - eMail is a safe and secure way to communicate. - noone uses PGP/MIME ir signs & encrypts eMails. - HTML-eMails are an acceptable way to conduct oneself. - Customers can sent and recieve an infinite amount of eMails of inifinite size at infinite speeds instantly - People will habe instant and constant access to eMails and will stop *EVERYTHING* to read an incoming eMail. - Clicking a link on an eMail is consent. - Opt-out allows selling off eMail adresses and spam people. And worst of them all: - #NoReply-Adresses are an acceptable way to communicate!
