Mail is freaking hard. It's not the setup that's the issue. It's getting enough reputation that your emails don't get bounced into oblivion.

Believe me, I have tried.

You run into things like registering your netblock with Microsoft so it can accept your emails. You don't own a netblock? Didn't think so. Do you have enough outgoing emails so your IP builds up reputation as a reliable sender, so you don't get thrown into spam by Google? Didnt think so either. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

What I ended up doing is use one of the big providers (be it Google, Microsoft, Tuta, Proton or something else) and just pull the email to my server. Sending out works the same. Basically using them as proxy.

I still get to keep my email and I'm I independent from the whims of my email provider. The tradeoff being I need to shell out a few bucks per month and email still passes their servers.

Haven't found a better solution yet, unfortunately.

Documentation - the worst part of programming.

Unfortunately, that's a question only you can answer. But goes without saying for any job.

Ask yourself:

• Will you be able to sleep peacefully at night knowing what job you're doing and who you're doing it for?
• Are your morals stronger then job security you're getting?
• Can you stay on the job and inact change from within?
• Can you refuse certain tasks you don't feel comfortable with?
• Can you steer / influence the work that you and/or the agency does?

Edit: typos.

Well, that's common law for you.

Most of the world has continental law where most of these things would be written in a law somewhere and unenforceable through TOS as those provisions would be deemed in conflict with the law and therefore void.

Duh. Same goes for Steam games and most of digital content.

If you want to keep it, there's usually always an option to sail the high seas.

Well, it's similar to how American bands go on a "World tour" which includes 30 US cities and maybe London and Paris, if they have a good day.

Not to be sarcastic, but 'global', 'world' and similar terms seem to be in the eye of the beholder. 🤨

Labeling something does not make it a 'social construct'.

We label rocks based on how and when they were formed. This does not mean it has any sociology behind it.

But I do respect your opinion and if you do think so, you are well within your rights to do it.

Sex is not a social construct. Gender is.

It's true - we are learning more about sex every year and understanding it's not completely binary. But your sex is assigned at conception.

That's one of the reasons doctor's don't ask about your gender, but your sex - because treating could be different. And, as an example, IHE (medical standard) recognizes about 7 sexes.

Gender, on the other hand, defines social norms we expect from certain sex. How gender is perceived changes from culture to culture and from one period of history to another - sex doesn't.

That being said, I do believe that gender roles should be a thing of the past. You do you, whatever you're comfortable with.

None of this account for differences in purchasing power and phone price.

If you have an $150 Android device, I would of course expect you to spend way less on software than somebody with a $1500 iPhone.

I'm not saying 'develop for Android only' but if your business relies on one ecosystem only, you're at a higher risk and you're leaving money on the table.

Well, they have limited themselves to single point of failure.

That's like selling only blue shoelaces and then crying faul when your only supplier stops making blue color.

If your livelihood depends on one account only, you are in great risk anyhow.

What do you mean 'Croatia is not even a directly neighboring country anymore'?

Last I checked, Croatia and Hungary still share almost 350 km of border.

In all seriousness, I think I've seen 'Mx' used in this context.

Usually though, you'd go with a generic greeting such as 'Dear Sir or Madam' or 'To whom it may concern'.
