Email aliasing: Are these my "best" options?

-DuckDuckGo (big corporation, dabbling in AI)
-Simple Login (Proton, whose CEO is being weird)
-addy dot io (there were some posts on here awhile back about why the io domain is shitty but it doesn't look like I bookmarked any of them, the gist was imperialism so I like to avoid the domain)
-figuring out how to generate them using an email provider itself (clunky, usually end up with really long addresses, may not even hide your original address, may only be able to generate a limited number which kinda defeats the purpose for me because I want single-use ones)

Today I learned how to create a Finder alias using AppleScript and the command line:

```bash
$ osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to make alias file to posix file "/opt/homebrew/opt/emacs-plus@29/Emacs.app" at posix file "/Applications" with properties {name:"Emacs.app"}'

alias file Emacs.app of folder Applications of startup disk
```

This is for the particular case of creating an Emacs.app named alias at the Applications folder for the Homebrew version of the `emacs-plus` package, but changing the paths above will allow you to create arbitrary Finder aliases from the command line.
