You don't rent a goat, you lease that surly bastard

For what it's worth, I'm a google workspace administrator and we've had issues with legitimate business emails going to our spam folders. We used various tools in the workspace admin console to whitelist the sender, but their mails kept going to our spam. We contacted google support, they verified our settings were correct, then kind of shrugged and said they can't explain why gmail flags things as spam. They clarified that it wasn't just that they weren't allowed to tell me, but that it was literally impossible for them to know.

So I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a "quality score", but there certainly is a machine learning black box.

Lots of mail hosters, like gmail, have been proxying and caching image requests for a while now.

Native apps don't produce referer headers when opening a link in a browser.

Oh no, the user has to press a button. Let's completely destroy privacy and complicate EVERYTHING just to save them that one click. Worth it.

So you're saying that microsoft has more money to work with? Everything I know about the legal system shows that the more money you have, the easier it is to get your way.

Writing software isn't illegal. Timeline goes like this:

1. Developers write open source software

2. Open source software is deployed for money laundering purposes by other people

3. Developers who wrote software at point (1) are now being punished for something they did before the US deemed it to be illegal.

Let's say the speed limit is being decreased. Would it be fair to jail everyone who went over the speed limit in the past, before this decrease was even announced?

Okay, how does that relate to open source contributors? Can you retroactively read their minds and determine their intent? Why does their intent even matter? What they were doing was not illegal at the time, and now they are being punished by the US.

Not sure, thoughtcrime is a thing now in modern America?

Nice, what's next? Jailing everyone who ever had an abortion? Why aren't y'all americans doing that yet, if it's apparently acceptable to punish people for things they did before the supposed crime was made illegal?

Turns out privacy now is illegal in the US of A.

> The argument probably is that they assisted a sanctioned entity by providing a contribution i.e. service to it.

And what if they did so before the sanctions? Is the US so happy to retroactively punish people who literally did nothing wrong?

So making a PR to some project the US government might decide to sanction means github is going to delete my account?
