Wow, Gmail seems to have upped their in-mail ads - now the ads are scattered throughout the email list. Just because it's promo tab doesn't mean you can just flood the list with more promo ads 🤣

Google must be desperate for more money! 💸

Gestern, Kontos bei Facebook und Instagram endgültig stillgelegt. Email von #Gmail zu #tutanota ist in Arbeit. Messenger ist #Threema , jedoch bleibt noch immer Whatsapp kleben. Nächstes Projekt #Linux auf 2. Partition steht bevor.

If you're trying to ditch #gmail and #outlook for a canadian alternative

I think the best way to do it is by purchasing a domain name and some #webhosting in #canada

That's what I do because I'm comfortable with these things, and it gives me full control over my emails.

It requires some #tech skills though

You can also find #email hosting services that doesn't require those skills.

Like:
- #typewire
- #northmail

FYI: Gmail finally lets users change their address - and the technical lift was enormous: Google today launched Gmail address changes for U.S. users, allowing username updates while keeping emails, history and sign-in access. Global rollout planned. https://ppc.land/gmail-finally-lets-users-change-their-address-and-the-technical-lift-was-enormous/ #Gmail #EmailUpdate #Google #TechNews #UserExperience

Hankin kuukausien ilmaiskäytön jälkeen itselleni maksullisen #Tuta-sähköpostin. En varsinaisesti edes tarvinnut sitä, koska webhotelliini sisältyvä sähköposti riittää minulle hyvin, mutta kannatussyistä ja koska osoitteita on hyvä aina olla yksi varalla. (#Gmail'kin minulla on, mutta sitä en käytä. Luopuisin kokonaan, jos se #Android'ia käyttävälle olisi mahdollista.)

Oh joy. Google disables spell check in gmail if you opt out of letting them use your email to feed their AI. It's pretty clear many of the features they disable don't require their AI to work, e.g. category tabs. They're just intentionally making the product worse for those who don't comply.

It's their product, they can do as they like. But violating the Wheaton rule eventually loses customers.
