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?

    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 ;)
