For the incoming message.casa mailbox hosting (see https://social.pollux.casa/@adele/statuses/01K7J5JX8JHSPNE8RMPQT9J8RT ), I plan to use a different character for the "plus addressing".

pseudo+amazon@message.casa is too easy to break by email address scrappers. They remove the + and the following before selling your address.

I would like to use a different character, but this one could not be present in the main pseudo to avoid naming conflict.

first.lastname-amazon@message.casa if I set the dash as separator (but no dash in the pseudo).

first-lastname.amazon@message.casa if I set the dot as separator (but no dot in the pseudo)

I don't know which is the best option 🤔

“signals a potential split of the Chinese-owned, Netherlands-based company’s operations after the Dutch government this month took management control of the chipmaker.

The seizure came after Washington warned that Nexperia would not be removed from its export control list if its Chinese chief executive remained in charge. In response, Beijing blocked most of the chipmaker’s final products from leaving China.”

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

"It’s obvious that Republican proselytizing and fearmongering about violence and agitators at this rally was strategic, but it’s even more obvious that it was a piss-poor strategy. You can’t plug your ears and yell 'antifa' while hundreds of thousands of Americans march through the streets."

Malcolm Ferguson looks at the Washington, D.C., No Kings protest and says Republicans should be afraid. The event itself entirely exploded the fear-mongering lies about a left-wing extremist event full of violence. Ferguson notes:

"The atmosphere was extremely energetic and family friendly for both young and old."

"By mid-day on Sunday, the front page of the New York Times website contained not a single news article about the protests. ...

A few days ago many of us would have expected the New York Times to under-cover the No Kings protests relative to its coverage of much smaller right-wing gatherings."

"All last week, Republican leaders tried to portray the No Kings protests scheduled for Saturday, October 18, as 'Hate America' rallies. G. Elliott Morris of Strength in Numbers partnered with Atlanta-based science newsroom The Xylom to estimate that as many as 8.2 million people turned out yesterday to oppose the Trump administration."

"It was the senior protesters who really got to me. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be of a generation whose parents endured or fought in World War II, to see where we’re headed right now, and to be all too aware that you may not be around before we know if we’re going to get out of this. I can’t imagine facing the end of life with the worry that your grandkids won’t inherit the birthright for which your parents fought and sacrificed."
