ceo is literally the only job that can be fully replaced by the "ai" at the moment with no loss of performance whatsoever

that is fascinating... do you have some longer easy to read source to learn about this topic?

also, you say those earning 100k in 1950's only carried 20% of tax burden and now they carry 80%... what exactly is tax burden and is that number inflation adjusted? how big fraction of income distribution are we talking about?

I understand your points and agree with them. For me the experience with support has been quite opposite though... I can always find a solution (or at least an explanation) with Linux (I can go all the way down the rabbit hole to the source code if I would be so inclined) but with Windows it's always been just black magic rituals or random software from the internets that either work or tough luck.

Also the unconditional support for military (especially veterans) is a cultural point that many otherwise OK people have big trouble with...

Actually, I do... but do you really want the source or do you just want me to be wrong?

Why do you think lower paid CEO must be shitty? There turns out to be very little link between the CEO and CEO pay and the company performance... they are only paid a lot cause they are in the position of power to directly influence their salary.

All good advice. I'd recommended protonmail for mail hosting - got very good experience with them and the onky downside is you have to use their client.

I tried both hosting my own mail server and using a paid mail hosting with my own domain and I advise against the former.

The reason not to roll out your own mail server is that your email might go to spam at many many common mail services. Servers and domains that don't usually send out big amount of email are considered suspicious by spam filters and the process of letting other mail servers know that they are there by sending out emails is called warming them up. It's hard and it takes time... Also, why would you think you can do hosting better than a professional that is paid for that? Let someone else handle that.

With your own domain you are also not bound to one provider - you can change both domain registrar and your email hosting later without changing your email address.

Also, avoid using something too unusual. I went with [email protected] cause I thought it couldn't be simpler than that. Bad idea... and I can't count how many times people send mail to a wrong address because such tld is unfamiliar. I get told by web forms regularly that my email is not a valid address and even people that got my email written on a piece of paper have replaced the .email with .gmail.com cause "that couldn't be right"...

Also capabilities. Some things are a hassle that doesn't always work as expected (e.g. camera) and some things are just not possible at all (NFC). Even your airline app that simply shows a barcode that you scan at the gate will want to increase display brightness while it's doing so and be able to show you a notification when you have delay or gate change...
