On the Sorry State of E-mail

Lately, I've had plenty of time to think about the slow, steady destruction of e-mail as a protocol.
Corporations are unable to fully control e-mail, and what they find themselves unable to master they
instead seek to destroy; businesses hate competition more than anything, and particularly delight in
destroying public goods.  A seller of bottled water smiles, while pouring poison into a public well.

I only have problems sending e-mails to one corporation's e-mail trap, and this has only affected me
once or so.  However, this is with my primary e-mail address, that using this domain.  I rarely need
to send an e-mail through this domain, and most often I check its inbox to find naught but automated
spam.  I never learned how to automatically fight this automated spam, because I would need to check
it anyway, and it's rarely at a level that wastes more than a minute or so of my time when deleting.

Most often, that's all I find when checking the inbox; the next most common occurrence is solicited,
automated e-mail.  I get only a few e-mails from a human per year, fewer than, say, five or so.  The
disuse of e-mail is one issue which I see persisting.  Regardless, that isn't my one e-mail address.

Another pseudonym uses an e-mail address which I host not, from a man who does it for his amusement.
I spent eight hours one day configuring a dedicated e-mail client, and it's quite a nice setup, even
nicer than my primary e-mail address, because I simply login to the underlying system for that.  I'm
usually unable to use that e-mail address to its purpose, however, because of the large corporations
that seek to destroy e-mail, so I've a second e-mail address with a disgusting provider going by the
name Protonmail.  I was foolish to assume I could pay at some later time to use a real e-mail client
with the disgusting provider; I learned much too late how that's not true; all access requires a WWW
client or some proxy thereof.  I've repeatedly found myself unable to check this disgusting provider
for new e-mail without both a supercomputer using new software and a high-speed Internet connection.

The original problem was the whitelisting of e-mail address domains, rather than blacklisting, which
is bad enough, but so often, when I wish to contact another, that other has an account with Google's
e-mail system.  I was able to send e-mail to it for years, but one day I stopped getting replies, to
learn years later that they were never delivered at all; corporations delight in wasting the time of
others, when unable to bite and drink their blood instead.  It was bad enough using my supercomputer
to accomplish what could be done with a much weaker machine, but then that supercomputer failed, and
I was left with no way to access it other than using a rented supercomputer over the network through
a much weaker machine; it was so slow; what once took mere seconds took over an entire hour instead.

I'm thoroughly disgusted with the state of computing.  I cope with too much nonsense, the reason why
I vehemently refuse it wherever I may, and it fills me with such seething anger.  Theodore Kaczynski
sought to stop the progress of technology by mailing bombs to people involved; I hate not technology
itself, so a compromise would be to send bombs to the fuckwits who propagate these shitty and broken
WWW systems, and their enablers.  The world would be improved, if such fuckwits were afraid of those
whose time and resources they so callously waste.  Fortunately, it seems the problem may soon become
untenable.  I've read recently how Google's e-mail system is rejecting all such e-mails, which could
finally put an end to it sooner or later.  Regardless, I'm stuck wading in the filth at this moment.

I was once helping my father with something relating to a computer.  He needed to take a public test
and was unable to do it in-person; the last time it had happened, he had to waste twenty or so hours
in some WWW filth, and I'd explained why it was so poor: Taking such a test at an office would never
need so long, because a human is involved, and would see to it otherwise; the WWW filth, however, is
always there, never bored, always waiting, and never thinking, so it's a perfect venue through which
its creators may waste the time of others, as a method of dissuasion, or out of simple incompetence.

I'm absolutely certain an end to this nonsense will come soon enough, since it already barely works.
