Weird, I'm able to use Gmail on desktop, but my iPhone hasn't been able to sync since messages 1:44pm Central US time (18:44 UTC), even after restarting. Is this related?

It's free, easy to use, and normally fast and reliable. What's popular in Germany?

I am curious too about what's popular in Germany. I hope it's something better than ISP-provided emails.

As mentioned above, we have several services for free mailboxes. Obviously you can have a @t-online.de address, not only if you are a customer of the Magenta giant.

Wikipedia lists some [1] providers and I think I have seen addresses from all of those providers in the wild or my mailbox.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News?

Imagine taking the time to write this as a response to a light-hearted comment on the high-profile failings of other mega-corporations in a similar vein over the past several months/years. Rather, you take some perceived offense on behalf of your associates at Alphabet who refused to learn from the missteps of others :/

None of us here has any associates at Alphabet. Please stop now.

Sure, though, as parting words of advice: flagging posts simply because you do not agree with them does not serve to assist with the Orwellian reputation of this site.

Gitlab has been super slow too

That was related to the GCP issues, but there should be no more errors.

Google Cloud has resolved the issue as of 23:00 UTC yesterday. Any further information can be found on the issue at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/issues/862

Why do people in Germany unnecessarily use a Gmail address to register their Android devices?

Dark pattern. You can register an Android device with a non-Gmail address if you know what you're doing, but that's not where the UI takes you by default.

My parents, both in their 80s, figured out how to create a Google account without using a non-Gmail address so I find the idea that it is somehow difficult hard to accept.
