> Two days later, my google account was suspended. Apparently, my account was being used to send unwanted e-mails. Ha! I just became a spammer.

The issue is... if you see a mob/protest, Usually the police ask you to leave the place - allow them to take care of the issue. Even if your 'attempts' to resolve/negotiate/help people are very kind, the LE always says that is not your job.

Spam filtering is Google's job. Not yours.

It is possible quite a few people, marked your email as SPAM and therefore you got flagged.

This may sound like victim blaming but please do not take up these tasks unless you know what you are venturing into.

Even https://www.419eater.com/ advice is to stay away from these people (for safety).

I create one with suffix "_month", post one comment, and wait for it to languish for a few weeks before using it 'regularly'. Otherwise it gets shadow ban.

This did happen to me once. I did once comment that code of one of mods was fact wrong (code snippet). The mod warned me about banning me from the sub. I just requested please see the code and you did type it incorrectly. Next day ban...

Every service has their haters and lovers. While people in G-suite threads swear that moving to fast mail or MS is the best options, in Microsoft threads people complain about clunky MS interface. It is always full circle! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30141192

I wish Apple would build a chromeOS equivalent with iCloud. Just works and with privacy.

I wonder what the dark patters programmers/coders' of hn-community think about this? I really like to get their point of view.

Are you not aware of facebook's (meta's) tracking/privacy invasion?

We have several windows vms running in virtualbox. All have rdp/vnc for specialised programs. (These are offline).

Everytime I tried to migrate to qemu or virt-manager or gnome-boxes it was a real nightmare especially installing SPICE+virtio drivers+ networking. I read in Phoronix the performance of virtualbox is subpar and all KVM/qemu is the way to go.

Please, could the OSS community build a easy to use GUI that SPICE+virtio drivers+ networking is made simple. Any one from qemu, I really appreciate the work but still very challenging for sysadmins.
