Proton Pass has a similar feature, I love it. But Spotify had banned my account and asked me to email them from the alias to unlock it, which is not possible. So you should be careful with that. A lot of companies employ anti-privacy practices.

You can login to the SimpleLogin.io interface and setup reverse aliases even if you create them in proton pass. They don't have the integration fully down yet so it's clunky but it works.

I didn't know that was possible. Thanks for sharing!

Were you using simplelogin.io, which is part of Proton? It is actually possible to reply or send mails from the aliases you create there. The feature is called reverse-alias.

[-] Durotar@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Really? That wasn't obvious for me. I'll check it, thanks.

[-] LilDestructiveSheep@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Did you check on phone so far? Because in the app it's not possible for me.

[-] Durotar@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Nah, that's not urgent for me right now. But I logged in on the website and saw my email aliases, each had stat like 0 sent in the last 14 days - which implies that it should be possible to send one.

SimpleLogin does allow you to send emails from your alias, though

[-] devdad@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

If you’re talking about a SimpleLogin, you CAN email from it. I forget the exact terminology (I can check if you need) but you can generate a forward address that you email and the receiver (Spotify) will see it as If you have emailed from your forwarding address.

Can’t you make a reverse alias through the SimpleLogin ui? Since that’s what proton pass uses for the aliases.

Anyone signed up for one of Relay's paid subscription options will also be able to reply to emails anonymously . . . A free account will allow for up to five email masks and remove trackers for you, with additional protections available for paid subscription tiers.

DuckDuckGo has the best free solution ATM IMHO, if you don't mind the RNGd names: "unlimited" aliases, reply-ability, and trackers removed.

Random email addresses are a better idea anyway; as soon as you personalise them, that makes them traceable to you again.

That's pretty standard Title Caps convention.

Title Caps Is Good Only When Titles Are Good: An Analysis

Not in French but yes in English

Titles of books, movies, and other works; names of periodicals and magazines; chapter headings; and titles of articles and blog posts are usually capitalized using title case. Sentence-case capitalization is used for second-level headings and lower.

News headlines have traditionally been capitalized using title case, although these days, sentence case is often used, especially online.

From here. Seems like title case or sentence case is fine and both are used.

I mean I won't use it because I don't trust Mozilla with full access to all my websites, but I like that they have some monetization build in so that they can diversify the income and not only get money from Google.

But I still think that Thunderbird is doing it better by asking for donations.
