@vkc Get video of their response! 😅
@dcdeejay I wouldn't cross a border with a cell phone at this point, lol.

"List all email addresses you've used over the last ten years"
lol, like many of us I've used services to generate unique emails for each account I use online. I have at least a thousand email addresses.
@vkc Apple installs that service on every device it sells except AirTags and Watches. Others do as well: We can have an email for each different person we know, if we like. It's good for managing spam, but a secure service like that would also mess with data correlation. Perhaps this is a direction we should all move towards?

@vkc funniest part is when you have automatic aliases (or catchall, whatever), when company "foobar" asks for my email and I say "foobar@somedomain" they tend to not believe it works :)
@squalouJenkins
They: "is this really your mail address?"
Me: "Well, its one specifically for you so in case you leak my customer data or sell it or start to send spam, I know it originates from you and I can blacklist you"
They: "No, we want your real mail address"
Me: "🤷♂ so just write me a physical letter I guess" -

@squalouJenkins I have that mostly with local companies that are like "your email address... seems weird?" "yes, it does but yes it works". @vkc

@vkc I do to and I'm currently annoyed with companies using the email address to map me to my real address to ship things. UPS is so confused about that...

"Officer, it'd be faster for me to list the email addresses I haven't used." - me, next time I cross a border probably
@vkc SO TRUE.
$ grep elb aliases | wc -l
168... and that's just on one domain. Maybe we can just list entire domains, along with the addresses on each domain that _aren't_ ours?

@squalouJenkins @vkc
Yeah, I've been doing that since e-mail was a thing. Always gets a reaction. LOL -
@traecer yes! And also, I hope sincerely that other countries don't adopt a similar stance (at least amongst each other, I totally get it if USians get scrutinized a bit more given the current moment).
@vkc like you, I have TONS of email aliases, a different one for most of the companies I deal with...no way I could list them all

@elb that's going to have to work if I'm ever asked!

@stereo4x4 @squalouJenkins @vkc "it really is a valid email address and it really is mine"
@ryanc @stereo4x4 @squalouJenkins some places have started blocking the "+" character in addresses. I use a random email generator service so I can get around that for now, but I don't doubt some places will catch on to that as well.
-
@vkc Someone joked about *@domain.example. That would work, except with commercial services it'd be too broad instead, even if they'd accept it which they probably wouldn't. :-)

This is always fun when I do the rewards points at the local bookstore or coffee shop or whatever, because they ask "what's your email" and I chuckle as I pull out my phone and hold the line up.
@vkc
They all give me odd looks when I say yourname@mydomain.yikes. -

@ryanc @stereo4x4 @squalouJenkins @vkc
I've hit several of those over the years. They always ignore my complaints about it.
Also, sites that won't let you change your email address. -

@vkc what country demands this?

@vkc Very Ehrmantraut kind of vibe to it.
I LOVE IT

@squalouJenkins @vkc sometimes I get questions like "oh, you work for the company, do you want <employee-only plan>?" because of that 😅

I overly punctuate my main Gmail address so I know who has sold me out.

@vkc I always worried that my use of 200 different email aliases might get me in trouble when I applied for my student visa. I always just tried to at least make a note about it, but there is no column for explaining this.

@grumble209@kolektiva.social @robert@kolektiva.social There were so many awesome ideas in BeOS, that I wish they made their way into other systems today.
Gruber was commenting on a post about how great Apple's TextExit was because of its support for the "stable" RTF format. But he fails to acknowledge that RTF is constantly updated to mirror Word by Microsoft.
The awesomeness of BeOS's StyledEdit was that its files were actual plain text files, and readable by every other system. The "styles" were all saved as extended attributes in the filesystem.
