I’m currently trying to exit Gmail with all my emails if possible. However many comments are about why I shouldn’t host my own server. So it got me thinking that there should be a new kind of email system not based on all the previous crud from the before times that we still use today.
And indeed, it looks like AI will be the driving force that ends email just like spam did the telephone. Sure the telephone is still around but no one uses teleconferencing anymore for example. We use teams and zoom and such other shitty pay services. So the pool is prime to reinvent email. The users may not see a big difference maybe, but the tech behind it may hopefully be simplified and decentralized as it was meant to be.
I will not take advice from someone who cannot understand why ‘email’ is never pluralized. It’s like knowing a subject may be important before you can speak authoritively on it.
E.g. my physics prof didn’t spell it “fizzik’s”, because he knew that’s not what it was. We don’t applaud the tenor for clearing his throat, but if he can’t even do that then I’m not buying tickets.
If my prof spelled it fizziks, that would be cool AF.
