Alternative to Gmail? I currently use my own domain for email, but i miss the priority inbox

Regardless of which e-mail service you end up using, I find that an incredible simple rule to filter all e-mail with the word "unsubscribe" in it's body to another folder saves your sanity. It's still a folder you should go through a few times a week to read all the newsletters and shit you're subscribed to, and sometimes the occasional false positive, but your inbox will mostly contain e-mail you actually want to read. I have another rule that filters mail from specific senders that I want to read immediately to my Inbox before it hits the unsubscribe rule, but those exceptions are uncommon enough (I only have 7 after years of doing this) to not take much work.

The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started

This also means that, when you buy a car with say a 500 km range, that the battery will last for 10,000 x 500 = 5 million kms. That is an absolutely insane number compared to cars that are on the road right now. And one you will obviously only reach if the rest of the car can keep up. EVs are already doing well compared to ICE cars in this regard, but this is almost an order of magnitude larger than the current status quo.

Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult"

One way of looking at it is serving a vegan a vegan meal, after you slaughtered a cow for the first couple of tries. Some of the damage has already been done.

Also, we've had several kerfuffles already where GenAI "placeholders" were present in a released game, and caused plenty of outrage. It's far safer to never have those placeholders to begin with. Just draw up something ugly in Paint, at least it'll be plenty obvious you need to fix it before launching the game.

Astounding mental gymnastics. Not that it really matters in this case, although it does demonstrate a willingness to run away from facts that are staring him in the face. It sounds like he'll never admit he could have feelings for you too, whether that's true or not.

In order to generate that texture, AI bots have already been attacking every website hosting content on the internet for the past year, to the point that they were basically DDoSed and forced to take extreme measures to stay online. Plenty of copyrighted works have been slurped up without consent from their authors, a massive amount of energy has been used to inference the models and even more energy (far more than all cryptocurrencies combined for example) is used generating things from those models. So yes, a lot of damage has already been done. Far more than killing a couple of cows.
