#GMail is harmful to e-mail ecosystem; its antispam blocking policy matches too many valid messages as spam.

It blocked LastPass email leak warning email, because it contained "a link" to a leaked site.

It blocked an e-mail from goverment agency addressed directly to me.

It's not how e-mail should work.

Consider dropping GMail.

This is pretty helpful if you're trying to edit a long command line.

#bash #zsh #linux #unix #macos #terminal

Using vim is like...

#vim #programming
