I am privacy conscious so I would like to use my proton.me account, but I wanted some advice. Should I use my gmail account for career related purposes or should a proton.me address be fine?

    I’ve worked at a couple of places where it was a kind of “badge of pride” to be more in control of your email e.g. tech companies dealing with infrastructure/hosting. And then of course there is, what I imagine, the vast majority of places which could not care less.

      Why do you type with

      random parts

      split by carraige

      return.

      It makes me read it like Captain Kirk.

        Haha yeah I’ve written a fediverse system which connects email and activitypub. Writing these from my regular email client (more info if interested: https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html) Looks like what I’m gonna do is delete all carriage returns out just before it’s sent out to the fediverse. Thanks for spotting that!

        Out of curiosity from which app/client/frontend did you notice this?

          Ah good spot. Sync for Lemmy renders the new lines.

          Still don’t know why they are there in the first place :)

            perhaps habit? i know many people write markdown documents that way, it can help with editors which dont wrap text, and may be better for using grep and related line-based tools.

              Ah so if you really want to know, it’s because one of the mail clients I use quoted-printable encodes the body when sending a message with lines >80-ish characters.

              I haven’t implemented a decoder on the other end. My current workaround is to pipe everything through fmt before it goes out.

              i know many people write markdown documents that way,

              Yes I also actually do this too; I’m a fan of semantic line feeds.

              In case you couldn’t tell, the whole system is a WIP ;)
