Oh crap. Gmail is deprecating support for picking up mail from a remote server using POP3 polling in January 😭 Given that I switched to this mode due to reliability problems with direct delivery via mail forwarding, this really sucks...

@jmason Good god why would they turn that off.

@nelson I know! It had a very elderly no-js-just-html UI flow; I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of UI related dependency deprecation drove this

@nelson @jmason Because the code is getting old, it's a massive pain in the ass to keep running, and more and more remote servers have... questionable POP services.
Basically it's a lot of neverending support work on the back end with (frankly because of C-suite level bad decisions on staffing) fewer resources available to continue producing a neverending stream of band-aids.

@wordshaper @nelson @jmason "Because some people might be using this feature insecurely, we are removing the feature entirely without providing any alternative, secure or otherwise" is, while not a *surprising* move by Google, still a *deeply infuriating* one. https://mastodon.social/@jwz/115804789003343393

Genova: centinaia presidio sotto al carcere contro gli arresti dei cittadini palestinesi. il collegamento e l’intervista al figlio di mohammad hannoun

È salito a 25 il numero degli indagati nell’inchiesta della Procura di Genova sui presunti finanziamenti ad Hamas tramite raccolte

@countablenewt sure. We don't get to choose our traffic light software at every intersection. Sometimes you have to live with what's preinstalled.

@evan My "Yes, but" was in cases of things like tax preparation software
There shouldn't be competition there, it should just be a free piece of software from the government
Not Rocket and Block constantly trying to fight the battle of "how expensive can we make it to file your taxes"
-
@virtuous_sloth well, I guess it could come down to relative importance. Choice of software is not important compared to having water, air, food, shelter.

@TGioiellieri @spettacoli quando uscì "La vita di Adele" pensavo avrebbe avuto una carriera da Valeria Marini francese. E invece sta infilando una serie di film da paura. E questo è un miracolo che sia arrivato in Italia: ha dovuto incassare un sacco in Francia perché lo distribuissero un anno dopo

So, I'd say Yes, but. It's important, but I can imagine cases where I could live with a lack of choice.
-
However, I can see the point of some low-level, infrastructural software to have a small number of implementations, even one.
Especially if the software is free and open source and the project has high multipolar participation.
It might be better for the community to put bug fixing and security effort into a single project rather than spreading it across multiple projects.

Interesting results! I think choice is really important.
