Apple managed to not do something stupid, amazing!
Apple has decided to roll back a decision they had announced in June, which would change the structure of "Hide My Email" addresses generated as part of that feature. For as long as the feature's existed, it would generate @ iCloud .com email addresses, and then that would forward to your main email. So no individual site or app would know your main email and you could track what they do with it. However, they had announced they would start putting Hide My Email addresses on a subdomain. This would make them easily identifiable, and many websites would simply block it, ruining it for many. But fortunately Apple has decided against this dumb move. I talk about why this is good, why they did it, why they would have thought to do it in the first place, and more.
