Doesn't it actually require you to sign up to an account on some app hosting platform, rather than self host it?

There are plenty of them, just wait!

Gmail labels are great but they're not universal, and are easy to strip out.

A lot of sites:

  • Don't allow +'s in email addresses
  • May let your register but then not login
  • Are aware of labels and simply strip them out

I have an email address I have only ever used with labels but still get spam to the non-labeled address. Spammers and email harvesters are very much aware of this trick, so it only works on legitimate sites.

Sorry Smeagol.

Used to. It took a single registry tweak to enable it which was easily found, but still a pain.

Reddit explicitly allow bots; Spotify does not - that's the difference.

That would be a completely different piece of software. It didn't check their pitch or their tonality or their beat. It was barely an AI.

All it did was listened to the music.

So yes if he had written a completely different piece of software that did something completely different he could have pitched it completely differently and the outcome could have been completely different.

Yeah that's signing in, so your username must match. There are reasons why you should not use sign in with Google, mostly to do with security and privacy. In which case you can sign up for an account using as many or as few dots as you like.

For just receiving mail this works universally.

Fun tip, dots in a Gmail address are ignored, so you can also use firstnamelastname, first.name.lastna.me, or any other combo to receive mail at

Why is this lengthy process preferable to using ublock on Firefox?
