I played with doing something like that over 10 years ago. Then decided I didn't want Google having access to my entire life. But I was impressed that they came up with ways to fetch your personal email from your ISP/host, and route it through their servers relatively painlessly.

Very true. I remember figuring it out when I wanted to view everything on my phone or desktop. Had to copy a bunch of previous POP emails back into the IMAP server, but once everything was working it was hella better than POP.

This is not so much an issue with GMaail, or Outlook, or anything besides the people who have made non-standardized decisions over the years on what email should be and built whatever they wanted.

If people had to pass a test in order to breed, humanity would die out in a single generation.

The one thing that could save humanity in such a scenario.

I was taking a walk yesterday.
A heron flew up from a ditch.
I heard some guys talking from a garden.
The Bing image today is that of a little frog in a flower...
It all adds up now!
This is the definite proof that the government is out to get us and corona is just the beginning!
On a serious note, why do people keep questioning officials and scientists, but are quick to hop on the bandwagon when some random fool makes a claim?
And on that note, I hereby claim that every programming language except C# causes cooties*

I've heard that before, from some guy in the Netherlands, I think - but it was Autism and Leprosy, not Cooties. And you can catch them by using the app!

And C# has been associated with Dihydrogen-monoxide poisoning.

Because officials and scientists are sometimes wrong and sometimes can't even be trusted? Which opens the door to anyone with a different take on things, regardless of their expertise.

People are basically saying that they don't believe or trust people who research subjects for a living, but they're perfectly fine with someone who read something on the internet.
My favorite (and very non-Lounge safe) example:
90+% of researchers: "Research has indicated that the earth will be 3 degrees warmer on average in 30 years which will have huge consequences to how we live."
People / POTUS: "It's -3C today so that indicates researchers are obviously lying."
I wish I was joking

"Officials" often have an axe to grind because the government, run by politicians, pays them. And politicians have more axes to grind than any other group.
Scientists are usually paid by politicians or corporations, so neither are they immune to knowing where their paycheck comes from. It's far worse with economists.
I look on most predictions with amusement and/or skepticism. There's no end of them, and I love Taleb's observation that Semitic languages have no distinct word for forecasting, and just use prophesying. When I was in high school, two forecasts were that an ice age was heading our way and that, over the next 30 years, billions of people would starve to death. These prophecies were made by scientists.
