Interested about too much things, but especially owls, nerdy things and the game series Ori 🦉
But it seems like most email providers did not get the memo and continue (even today) to say that 587 is the best option and 465 is deprecated.
I was thinking again earlier this week that emails are the most troublesome thing in IT, and again I was not deceived 😵

From what I understood, the answer is that, **as of 2025**, 465 should be the preferred option (makes sense, since it is always encrypted).
But for a long time, 465 was more like a draft and eventually got considered deprecated before it was brought back alive by RFC 8314 in 2018

I will also add that "tracking" itself is not an evil concept... I definitely agree that sometimes tracking goes way too far, but knowing for example how many people came from a specific platform or social media is very useful if you are a creator or a business, and is purely statistical.

Removing them blindly (aside from well-known tracking variables with a specific name) may prevent the page from working properly.
An example is Discord, that uses query parameters in its file links to prevent them from being hotlinked. Removing them from a Discord link makes the link stop working.

This is very inaccurate advice.
Despite query parameters (the actual names of things after the "?") are used a lot for tracking, they also have a lot of legitimate uses, such as specifying the current page, search filters, or just any other data potentially useful for a web page.

I remember the exact same thing happening as well to me several years ago. Not sure what it was as well, probably a short circuit? (that was on line 8)

Deep eyes, smooth curves, "glowy" gradient on characters and on the outer lines, soft shadows, vibrant colors on colored elements...
I would say your style is quite unique, the closest one I can think about is Satori
