I think its decent considering it requires money , and even chatgpt in its early stages didn't allow for anonymous chats / unlimited chats and I remember going on all these chatgpt clones becuase of that.

I also understand the hilarious spin that you added considering tldr (too long didn't read) lmao. but still its worth your email.

Crazy how I realised that tldr meme after I had written the first paragraph

believe it or not I picked the tldraw name because I already owned the domain (I'd bought it for a different project called telestrator) and it was only weeks later when Francois Laberge complimented the clever name that I noticed the portmanteau

I'd appreciate if you didn't consider Firefox Relay emails as disposable email. The Firefox folks specifically have tried to make Relay anti-abuse.

It's an unkind thing to do to your prospective users.

From Bleeping computer's coverage the last time someone tried to dump Relay in with a disposable email blocklist:

> Back in November 2021, Firefox Relay's team lead had requested the maintainer of a separate burner email list, "burner-email-providers" to exempt the particular domain form the blocklist:

> "We are operating Relay with a number of features that I think mitigate the risks that these aliases pose," Mozilla's privacy and security engineer Luke Crouch explained in November.

> Firstly, if a @mozmail.com alias is disabled by the user, any emails sent to the alias are not bounced back but instead discarded with a 404 error message returned by the service's HTTP webook, stated Crouch.

Secondly, he explained, the anti-abuse protections built into Relay limit free users to a total of five aliases, and further rate-limit premium customers so they cannot abuse the service by creating large-scale throw-away aliases for, say, automated signups to web services.

> With that reasoning, mozmail.com was swiftly removed from that blocklist. And it appears, the creators of "disposable-email-domains" have also honored the clause, for now.

I am sorry but I am confused.

To whom exactly are you talking to?

Oh sorry, that's a toggle in Clerk (our auth provider), it doesn't provide granularity around which are disposable and which aren't. I'll take a look and see whether there's anything I can do short of turning off that feature.

Thank you! Appreciate the transparency. It's helpful to know it originates elsewhere.
