Getting real fuckin tired of having to always find 'alternatives'. Can't yall rich bastards just stop being weird and be content with making good products. Just cause you have money, doesn't mean you need to have a public opinion on anything, ever
Sounds like you might enjoy Apple products.
This is what I feel is the core problem of out-of-bounds capitalism today. 50-80 years ago there were fabulously wealthy people as well, but they were taxed out the wazoo and were still fabulously wealthy. And even though every corporation's goal is, and always has been, to make profit, it feels as if it's gone from "profit" to "maximum possible profit at ALL costs, including the damnation of life on the planet".
We have plenty of examples of hypercapitalism destroying us in fiction (cyberpunk etc.) but our current reality is really really close to that hellscape. In some ways it's actually worse because of the insidiousness and banality of the evil that lords over us daily.
Sorry im not from the US… what is a “wazoo”?
It's written as "up the wazoo" or "out the wazoo." "Wazoo" in this context means "ass" and the meaning as a whole is "in large amounts."
wazoo = anus
It's just a figure of speech to denote "completely", or "very much".
Where a kazoo goes.
Anyone who becomes rich will work to protect that wealth.
Gotta support FOSS alternatives.
Buy your own domain and use a service like mailbox.org which is in Germany.
Also super easy to move to a new email host later when you have your own domain.
Does posteo support "catchall" addresses?
I corrected my comment, I was thinking of mailbox.org which supports custom domains and catchall too.
They didn't a few yeara when i looked into it, thats why i switched to proton
