Site-blocking isn’t just theoretically dangerous. Italy’s system blocked hundreds of innocent websites. Spain’s swept up domains belonging to Greenpeace and Harvard. Now Congress wants to bring this to the U.S. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

FCC head says government-funded Trump ads are ‘normal’ and ‘don’t raise any red flags’
Brendan Carr said the ads are “normal-course public service announcements” and nothing that would “merit any sort of” review by the Federal Communications Commission.

Why are smart TVs so whiny?
A meme comparing a muscular “CRT TV” Doge with a smaller, worried-looking “Smart TV” Doge. The CRT TV side lists benefits such as not needing updates, simply plugging in cables, and being built like a tank. The Smart TV side complains about having no Wi-Fi and repeatedly calling servers back home.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

On paid plans you can add multiple forwarding mailboxes per alias under Settings → Aliases, and set any of them as the default for all aliases. A shared "household bills" alias can reach both partners without either giving out a personal address.
Settings for Aliases in Pass, allowing multiple email addresses (after they've been verified) to receive mail from a single Alias.

Same for me. In SL/Proton Pass, reverse alias contacts are auto created for any emails that come in. You can see all contacts tied to the alias in the SL portal or Pass. If they email you, you just respond and it is handled. If you initiate to them, just have to use their rev-alias contact.
