  • Tragic that people are still falling victim to these hope-rot schemes. Had an experience with facilitated writing schemes with family members 20 years ago. From non-verbal to shockingly eloquent in no time! It’s a miracle, turns out they were a genius trapped with an inability to express themself! Oh isn’t it strange that some people just can’t facilitate with them and what they say/know changes with the facilitator? Oh well, but thankfully the facilitator can always tell you what is meant when they use uncommon abbreviations!



  • I imagine they’d be eyeing things like having a partnership with patreon so patrons get access to an exclusive subreddit at a certain tier (with reddit getting some cut). Not saying patreon specifically would go for that but I imagine that type of monetization is what they’d be mostly considering. Or maybe a better example would be something in the realm of substack. Paying directly for access is hard to get people to go for without a third party with financial incentive to drive content.


  • MXRoute is about a decade old and based in Texas. It’s in that “unix philosophy” category of doing something well and stopping there so you won’t get them advertising their new crypto wallet or AI software on you. It’s mostly geared for more technical bring your own domain type of usage. If you’re wanting to use it more as a forwarder and want to store the history locally (or if you don’t email files) there’s a “lifetime” plan available.













  • Mailjet’s documentation indicates they use an explicit pixel image for tracking email open status and that can be turned on or off in account settings. However it also indicates they put all images included in an email template through the same infrastructure as tracking links. So most likely they record the view but whether that usage data is retained and available to the gov agency is hard to say without making an account with Mailjet and testing.

    If you’re concerned, just turn off images for untrusted senders in your email client.
