I thought about that, but that only treats the symptom. This lady has my number listed on something she uses to arguably commit crimes, which means if she ever gets busted for it, her problem could potentially become my problem. I need to not be involved in her shit anywhere, and theres not really a justification to leave my data in someone else's account.

I gave them the confirmation number. I can prove I am getting things that are not for me and did prove that. They refuse to budge.

No, they aren't protecting confidentiality at all. They know the information is going to the wrong place. And yet, they keep sending me her full name, her email address, her home address, her reservation dates, the address of the hotel she is at.....

Imagine what someone could do with all that.

Nope. I can only pull information and log in for her if I was willing but I cant cancel it I dont think.

but I might not be staying with apple forever. it makes sense to keep things portable.

I wont self host email. I just don't have the skill to properly protect a public-facing server. I'm smart, but only enough to know I'm outgunned there. I'm not running some grand criminal enterprise. It's more of a concern that I've been a bit lax in my online privacy and with the worldwide rise in fascism, I feel I need to resist (or at the very least, inconvenience) those who could do me harm.

I. like the idea of simplelogin as it seems to do what I'm already doing with icloud plus but it suffers the same problem. the messages are flowing through a third party before they get to me. why would I trust a third party?

anonaddy and simplelogin seem to replicate what I already do with icloud+ hide my email feature, but they also seem to have the same problem. data flows through them meaning they can all keep copies and sell that data, train AI on it, etc. all it takes is a shitty corporate merger and that security feature becomes a risk. So it looks like I would want to find an email provider that already offers unlimited email aliases since that would reduce the number of people handling the data.

ugh, its definitely going to take a while

I use icloud+ aliases for some things but want to branch out and use email aliases for everything I can once I switch so if something get compromised I can just blow it up and move to another alias. I'm tired of scammers and spam. But having it go through icloud then being forwarded elsewhere means apple is seeing the message first, which seems like unnecessary exposure.

I use linux for some things, but my daily driver is macOS. Linux isn't fully supported on apple silicon yet anyway.

Look I like my apple stuff too, but it’s foolish to trust Apple not to do obnoxious things for money. We need a Linux phone.

until google decides thats not allowed either
