Do they even still issue them? Like prior to ~2007 Hotmail was THE free email to have before Google, like, did it better. But aren't they issuing outlook.com addresses now?

    When MS ditched the Hotmail name, they went to their "Live" branding. I have an account with that domain, in addition to my old Hotmail account.

    I wish I held onto my old Yahoo account, but it got so full of spam that it became completely unusable; so I deleted it 🫤

    Yahoo still exists. Somehow. Apparently the brand is extremely popular in Japan, Yahoo Japan is on the list of top 50 visited websites. IIRC the brand was bought by Verizon, and I have no idea if Yahoo even offers web search anymore.

    Apparently Yahoo uses Microsoft Bing for their search backend.

    How the hell are we down to two meaningful web engines and two meaningful search engines?

    There's Firefox and everyone else, and everyone else uses Chrome.

    There's Google and everyone else, and everyone else uses Bing.

    I stopped using Hotmail when gmail launched and I was given one of the early invites from a tech relative. I have the welcome email from '04.

    But now I'm looking at moving my emails to a self hosted solution because they have used everything in my >20year email history for Ai and I don’t want that to continue into the future.
