I've used gmail services with my own domain since the beginning. Email isn't the problem. Email can be redirected. The problem is the google account. I want to migrate my now Google workspace accounts to a personal gmail account. Google won't let me do that.

I can't share my play purchases with my family. Google wont let me do that, as family link isn't available for legacy Gapps users.

Of course I should have foreseen this inn 2003 when I started using gmail, with my own domain....

Come on...we have all read the book. This is not news! :-)

Stopped working with IT years ago. No time to write RFC's. Always wondered why nobody fixes email instead of creating more and more advanced filters. Fix the problem, not the symptom.
The basic layout is simple. Maybe so obvious that someone has a patent on it....

Email is SMTP. There is no practically way to police it like the article describes. The author simply doesn't know how email works. What we need is a new message standard. An Advanced Mail Transfer Protocol. It should include:
1. Encryption system where mail server publish the public keys. Mail server can also hold the recipient private key. This way an email can easily be signed. My server can check signature to see if the mail really comes from whoever says is the sender.

2. Approved senders AKA friends request. On many social media sites you have the option to only get contacted by those in your contact list. Email should work like this to. I should be able to lock my email account from getting mail from anyone I haven't approved.

This could be implemented with backward compatibility with regular SMTP. All regular unsigned SMTP mail will just be marked as just that. Simple and untrusted. As the net upgrades to AMTP2 there will be a point where the majority is over on the new protocol and spam as we know it will die.

I've heard many people proclaim that photoshop is superior to the Gimp because Gimp only supports 8-bits colors. The same people often have their digital camera set to store their pictures in jpeg, which is 8 bit. Nobody I know with a compact digital camera has their camera set to save the photos in anything else than jpeg. Many people I know with digital SLRs still has their cameras set to store in jpeg. The point here is that jpeg is 8-bit per channel. Unless your shooting in tiff or raw, there is no need for 16-bit channels.

Currently I rarely use 12/16bit channel photo editing. The reason is that it's to slow (ok I admit, my computer is 3 years old, but hey! I use linux, haven't had the need to upgrade for three years, and I'll probably use my computers for 2-3 years more untill next upgrade). I convert my RAW files to 8 bit channels with Ufraw. In the raw conversion I adjust colors, white balance and exposure, then I only use Gimp to do minor changes, cropping and the like.

What I really would like, is adjustment layers. That I miss. CMYK is really a non issue unless one need real color proofing and do proffesional work.
