Anyway, the thing where Gmail extorts me for a phone number under obvious pretenses happened again and I was gonna rant about it in the appropriate thread, but I can't find the thread anymore, so there's that.

Anyone knows how to make #gmail the default email client in #LibreWolf ? Firefox has it as an app in options, Librewolf has empty list in the same place...
Fuck #Google and the garbage imitation of IMAP that they foist on users & fuck their #SecurityTheater of demanding CASA audits of every IMAP client before they allow it to do OAuth2.
If you use #GMail (or Google Workspace) you are actively supporting the enclosure of #email. Google does not want independent standards-compliant MUAs to touch their mail system. Google wants all of its users using their shit web interface or their shoddy apps. They want to own your email.
Have you ever hit the Send button then immediately said, "oops f**k!!" Well, Gmail offers a way to recall potentially damaging email messages with "Undo Send" — if you're quick enough, that is. Here's how it works.

Con i miei tempi, con le mie disponibilità e con la mia capacità/voglia sto abbandonando i servizi online per riprendere in mano la situazione.
Ho creato un account email sull'hosting del mio sito e man mano andrò sostituendo l'email di #gmail nei vari account.
Cancellato account #Feedly e l'ho sostituito con l'app #News di #Nextcloud su mio #cloud.
Cancellato account #Podurama per ascoltare anche i podcast con Nextcloud.
Ho messo su #Navidrome e eliminerò #Spotify entro la fine dell'anno.

Ich mach das #Internet jetzt aus.

Two conflicting headlines on consecutive days, so Trump could be lying? Well I never… Who would’ve thought a convicted felon would do something like that…
One of the ways I judge the #credibility of a #tech #professional is whether or not they use a #gmail account as their primary #email address. Using #GoogleMail, especially in #Europe, is clear sign that the person does not pay attention to #privacy (or to the #enshittification of the Internet for that matter). Tech privacy is #TechPolicy.
@TucsonSentinel Were the emails sent via #Gmail?
If you're using #GMail and you've learned about their latest claim to introduce real end-to-end #encryption: it's a lie.
Google has the control and/or you can't do anything against that Google takes control any time.
Real #E2EE works differently: only the sender and receiver are able to access the protected content.
https://michal.sapka.pl/2025/gmail-e2e-is-as-terrible-as-expected/
#Meta also defined E2EE such that the message is encrypted from the sender to them, processed in clear text and re-encrypted for the transmission to the receiver.
Don't let them fool you with false claims and wrong definitions.
Just to be clear: If #Google decides it’s okay to no longer send non-Gmail users the ACTUAL #email, but only a LINK to some bullshit #proprietary service that you must click to “unlock” the TRUE contents, then Gmail ceases to be an email provider but is merely a spam service which bullies unsuspecting users into using their proprietary crap.
While this seems to be limited to (fake) E2E for now, I’m afraid it could get worse if people do not resist.
I know why I don’t use #Gmail.
Latest issue of my curated #cybersecurity and #infosec list of resources for week #14/2025 is out!

➝ National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and his team used personal #Gmail accounts for government communications,
➝ Surge in Palo Alto Networks Scanner Activity,
➝ Five #VPN apps in the App Store are linked to the Chinese military,
➝ A new security fund opens up to help protect the #Fediverse,
➝ Royal Mail Group suffered a significant #databreach with 144GB of sensitive information stolen

I really hope this was an April fools joke.
If you send me an email that requires me to use a stripped down Gmail to read it you can bet I’ll add you to my spam list.
Just another attempt of Google to make email even more proprietary forcing people to use their offering.
Still looking into the claim that workspace admins have access to the encryption keys. Which means we should really talk about the meaning of E2EE… #gmail #google #privacy
[4:56 but no commentary, pure testimony] US House Rep Jason Crow (D), Denver CO, is a vet who brilliantly showed the hypocrisy of the people testifying, how #SignalGate was absolutely classified information... Well done, sir. Thank you for your service.
