Not at all. Most sites support RSS. There are still people (myself included) that consume most of their web content via RSS.

I absolutely do this.

The most interesting site I've pw reset and cancelled so far has been my name-sake's dating account on bigblackbeautifulsingles. He had quite a few matches.

On a similar note, I was also an early Cash App adopter and my username is my firstnamelastinitial (something like JohnS). Increasingly, over the last few years, I've been receiving unsolicited money, almost $800 to date. I used to received much more spam requests.

I ask the senders to "request a refund" but surprisingly, they never do. I guess that's one benefit of having a common username on a service.

I also use my catch all to create unique "business" email addresses. The best encounter I had was giving my email address to retail person at a store and having them mistake me for an employee and give me the corporate discount. They asked me why I hadn't mentioned I worked for bigcompany@mydomain.

I've been using a catch-all domain with unique addresses (example: ycombinator@mydomain) for every service/site/etc. for more than 10 years.

Surprisingly, none of these email addresses have gotten spam, outside of what the original service sends.

As someone else mentioned, most of the spam I received comes from people with the same name as me. I was an early gmail adopter and my gmail is my firstnamelastname@gmail. I get spam, people's rental agreements, dating profile information, mortgage closing papers, etc for people with my name from across the country. There is someone who has been convinced they can create a gmail with my firstname.lastmail@gmail who has signed up my account for facebook, netflix, and espn+. This is much more of a problem for me.

This is an interesting article. I'm going to ask my doctor about it. I had Covid in early November, 2021, and still experience some of the symptoms others have mentioned in this thread (80 percent smell back, some foods taste different, and some smells are different than pre-covid; for example, coffee smells like warm cheese to me now).

My concern is sample size of two patients for the article. Still, if it's a common procedure with low risk, it sounds interesting enough to look into.

Great tip! I just added them to my RSS reader. Long live RSS!

That's interesting. In my state in the US, government took an opposite approach due to the pandemic to where now cocktails can be ordered "to-go" and curbside. It started as an emergency order and was recently passed as law.

I don't know. Greed? I've been following the 1Password Saga for a while (long time user), and how they responded to the electron pushback seemed like they lost their initial vision and what made them "in touch" with their users like me.
