My primary problem is that it's convention rather than rule.

I agree, and thus I think it's safe to assume we also hate the lack of encapsulation in Python despite technically being an OOP language.

Just don't use C if you can avoid it ;)

I'm fine with C, and if I stop coding in C I would starve since my job depends on it, still thanks for the suggestion though! ;)

There's still quite a few software written in C that does exactly as I did though. Look at OpenSSL's EVP library. I'm not sure about what you mean by "OOP but worse", wouldn't everything be worse than OOP since C isn't an OOP language? Anyways. As I said, what I did is way more common than it seems at least in C, so I get your point but still I can't seem to be able to see what's inherently wrong with it. I would appreciate if you shared any better ideas you might have, though!

I use InnerTune and it's just wonderful. I don't really care about translations and that stuff so I use the FOSS version and I never had any problems with it.

that sucks sm

Yes, I use K-9 for my outlook/365 accounts and it works fine. I also have my NAVER account there but I can't send emails because I've been too lazy to configure the SMTP settings properly.
