email is a good example of how capitalist enclosure can come for anything no matter how open the protocol is. I was reading a story about how most people and companies that used to self-host their own email have been pushed to stop and adopt one of the major email providers because the big ones like Gmail and Outlook will almost certainly send your messages immediately to spam if it is from a self-hosted email server instead of one of the major corporate providers.
I have not looked hard into email self hosting entirely because of all the stories about it being a giant pain in the ass. The IP address of the server have a good reputation built over a long time and maybe it also needs to be on a good subnet. All in the name of reducing spam while also conveniently pushing users to their corpo email service.
Meanwhile spam is always getting through. It comes from every legitimate business the second you give them your email. But because it isn’t malware (besides telemetry) and because it comes from the capitalists its not real spam
Which is doubly hilarious because vibe-coding makes you a worse programmer, so there’s no way they can get a quick fix after lobotomizing all their talent
I wonder if vibe coding is responsible.
Funny how email is supposed to be a federated service but most are reliant on one server

Yeah I ran into this problem with TankieTube

I highly doubt anyone at Microsoft is writing code themselves anymore, so it’s absolutely vibe coding.
