While I think it's important to make that argument, the posted article and the one it refers to lack some guidance on how to reach "command line mastery". I recently came across this great resource here on HN:
https://github.com/jlevy/the-art-of-command-line
It gives great overview of the toolbox you have on the command line. Equipped with `man` you're ready to optimize your everyday work. And always remember to write everything down and ask yourself WHY something works the way it works. The interface of the standard tools is thought out very well. Getting comfortable with this mindset pays off.
The main service the app offers is a community rating of phone numbers. Depending on the rating, calls can be muted automatically. You can also, however, tell the app to generally block all calls except those from contacts in your address book.
While I'm with you politically: If a narrow perception on gender was a reason for not using a specific software, I probably couldn't use any software at all.
AFAIK, Microsoft, Apple, Google and others don't give you more options in this regard either. So I find it quite harsh to abandon a small project like this but accept what you get from bigger companies.
All the best on your job!
An account with 10GB for mail plus 10GB for cloud storage with unlimited aliases costs about 3€ per month.
I mainly use their service for family mail. The only downside is that passwords of mail accounts cannot be changed individually in the web client i.e., I -- who has the account at eurodns -- as administrator have to set the passwords.
I'm not affiliated with them. While the solution is not perfect, pricing is OK and domain service provider plus email hosting is done in the EU, which is the most important point for me.
