    Set up a small raspberry pi device that is.programmed to constantly spam them with nonsense emails and give it a decent battery and casing and hide it near somewhere with public wifi.

    Maybe tie it into that Wisdom of Deepak Chopra text generator or something.

    What I do with these sometimes is replying to the e-mail itself with a message that has only the text unsubscribe in all caps. Might add that to the subject as well.

    Sometimes it works.

      I used to manage an email queue that collected both GDPR requests and responses to marketing emails and saw a fair number of those. Many companies have it setup to forward responses to marketing emails to a support queue somewhere, but some don’t

      Microsoft has really messed up GitHub. Logs you out automatically if you haven’t visited in a few days, constantly asks you to verify your 2FA, and the new feed makes it extremely difficult to track engagement on your own projects.

      The worst one for me is that they allow you to view your recovery keys any time - IMO this is a really bad practice, recovery keys should only be shown once after a user has set up 2FA

      Probably going to move to Codeberg since I’m seeing a lot of projects making the jump over there, but the real solution IMO is a federated version control system
