If you use their domain, its a paint and you need to do the steps you mention. If you have your own domain for emails, its basically a line in the dns settings and your emails go to the new provider. Everyone should own their E-Mail domain

Uberspace is solid and a lot of fun to try stuff out. For domains, i would also recommend inwx.com, they have been around for ages, good prices and no-fuzz admin stuff.

i would follow that up with: Why do americans have so many cameras in their homes? not just afroman, but i see so many videos form surveilance cameras in living rooms etc, isn't that considered creepy?

I have exactly the same feeling. Lower Decks is one of my favorite star trek shows, and I normally don't click with animated series.

So, I hope for some of that magic with firefly, they've earned it by keeping that series relevant for 20+ years.

kagi has you on first place, and the github project as #2.

I will never tell my real age if possible. I especially love free forms for entry, because then I can be born in the 1800s. Surprisingly few services have an issue with that.

Wero is fun to use, but there so many features missing. The terminals, for example.

Or, an easy way for vendors or car rental agencies to block a set amount when you rent a car.

However, all of these things can be built and I hope Wero gets the time to grow into a full alternative to US-based payment systems.

Not because I want them to fail, but because this market can use a bit of competition and new ideas.

i agree, but you need your people to have 2 logins. Great for friend groups, not working in scale.

No voice chat.

The thing is: None can compete with the Discord in its core features. They either have good chat or good voice, but not a combination of both.

Discord replaced Ventrilo, TeampSpeak and Mumble simply because it merged Slack/IRC-style chatting with an easy to use voice chat that took less resources than skype and less setup than any of the self-hosted version or cheaper than a hosted version.

Low-latency voice chats combined with Slack, I don't know why no one has an alternative for that.

Plus, the backlog of playable games is so awesome. I am working through things I always wanted to play that I can now throw on my steam deck.

If its open, heroic can include their code or solutions, as they do with proton. Rising tide lifts all boats.

I have the same feelings about Bambu. I really like what Prusa is doing for the community and how they drive it forwards - but the Bambu simply works without fuzz. I also came from an Ender and its just so much fun.

gridfinity is really addictive. I have no idea what I want to do with it, but I want to print more.

> The other has an SUV and lives in the country with bad roads; They sometimes use their porsche to commute to work and for everyday-stuff like shopping.

That blows my mind.

I guess its the same mindset as people who buy a mercedes "jeep" (don't know the product id) or range rover and live the middle of the city.

you know the sad thing? Porsche didn't even try.

They could have copied Teslas playbook and create a cool, fun, overpowered electric 911 or Targa or pull an old, fun concept and make it electric.

Instead, they have a boring SVU and the panamera, one of the probably ugliest car they have.

No one buys a Porsche because they want a sensible car for their family or they need something with large storage. They want midlife-crisis cars that go fast and look sleak.

They are now giving up on their entire electric strategy.

I don't get it. They could have ridden the wave of electric fun vehicles, instead they are giving in. Either because they can't do it or because they had no real interest to begin with.

fair point, especially in the west. But looking at the market share, Android is probably the platform to build for, especially if you have an additional phone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_syste...
