Do you send all outgoing email from individualized addresses too?

I do the same as you (raccoon.uber@ball.com), but all my outgoing emails come from (raccoon@ball.com), it worked great for about 5 years until people with me in their address book started getting hacked.

Honestly that’s worse for me if you don’t mention the subject.

‘im having issues with x are you free to discuss possible solutions’ is fine, but I hate the open ended ‘are you busy’ messages

Whether or not I’m busy depends on what you’re asking me to talk about.

I feel like most people don’t even check their ISP email anymore. Why use that instead of the Gmail you’ve had for 18 years.

Did the kids just smoke somewhere else?

I don’t think we had an official smoking section but there was always a big crowd in the parking lot (early 2000s)

I love the musical instrument loan programs. I loaned a violin for a month to test out whether I wanted to learn to play it.

I like it and the experience gave me enough of an understanding of the instrument to feel comfortable buying a used one to continue on with.

I don’t think I ever would have started learning it without the library program, the instrument is so intimidating

Yeah, Mobile Fidelity

Trash 80 dialing in to a Linux shell account using one of the various cli lemmy clients should work

I’m still sticking with IRC.

You’ll all be back… Some day
