There are some big brain companies who will block you if their name appears in the email address. Like Discord. You can create an account, with discrod@example.com. But a seconde later you will get an email that your account got band.
What you say is often true, but in the case of Discord, at least in my case, you are wrong. My Discord email address is discord@xxx.com, and I am still receiving emails from them.
It happend to me when i created my account in 2025. Within seconds of verifying the address I got a email that my account was band for TOS violation. I than created a seconds account (within minutes from the same IP) only writing "dc" instead of "discord" and that worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> Uninstalling an application would mean just deleting all the objects in its package. The files would be gone and any configuration settings with them.
Applications developers of the world. Please always make "keep configuration" an option with your uninstallers! I don't like the mobilification of PCs. For example, because of some issues, I wanted to try a different version of Thunderbird. I had the Snap version. Uninstalling it meant losing all its mails. I wasn't expecting that. Like at all!
At my "traditional" bank I even need the TAN generator for my phone. While at my "neo" bank I even need the phone app to access the website. :-) (That is how the neo bank tricked me. I read "website access" in their ad and thought I could still access the bank account if I lose my phone. But no, you can't login without the app.)
I like to implement independent mail systems. No SSO BS. IT enters the password into the mail client while setting up the laptop and phone. The boss can't be phished if he doesn't know his password (or if the password has no use on the internet).
I also like to put everything behind a VPN (again no SSO). But the bigger the company gets, sooner or later this will come to an end. Because it's not "best practice" to not be phishable. Apparently what is needed are layers and layers of BS "security" products that can be tricked by a kid that has heard of JS. https://browser.security
If you login to the exchange online admin center you first have to complete a short "on-rails-shooter" video game. They constantly shuffle shit around and want to give you a tour via popups about it.
I have the admin accounts for multiple companies, so I have to play the game repeatedly.
> Spotify means infinite browsing, algorithm recommendations, and "Dad, how do I get back to my song?"
I hope you are successful and eventually go after video content too. Imagine a Youtube app without infinite browsing or the algo and a "you can watch 3 videos this weekend"-counter/countdown.
They know their way around IT security! /s
