A single message now generates 20 different summaries and analyses, requiring a rack of GPUs and a diesel generator.
We're so lucky that electricity is unlimited and free, otherwise it might've caused a serious problem.

Why is it never the other way around? I’m sick of EULA updates silently enrolling me into things i never asked for
buy domain
buy hosting
get email
use thunderbird
Mega brain move right here. Combined with a multitude of open source web mail clients and ur golden. SOGo and roundcube my beloved.
that takes me back to mid 2000s and horde webmail :)
Most email is short. I don't see a need to summarize it. Google is run by idiots and assholes.
If an email needs to be summarized, I'm not going to read it anyway.
Ai will write complicated long mails, you'll need an Ai to summarise it
buy a computer
put my data in there
computer computes my data too much
FUCK
How the hell can they even afford that?! There are so many Gmail users and so many emails a second and Gemini will summarize them all? That sounds so expensive and like a waste of resources
It is, but the bubble mustn't burst or the grifters will stop making money selling "the end of skilled labor" to braindead capitalists.
That's ok :) All my important mails go to proton
The Proton owner is Trump-y. Tuta is another option
I can't go changing my email every time a ceo flips a switch and goes crazy. Your all gonna have to find something better than 'just try this other one'
Get your own domain and use it for mail routing to whichever email service of your choice. Afaik gmail offers this, and so does probably any other decent email provider. That way if a provider turns to shit, you just need to set up with a different one, but don't have to change any accounts.
Downside: you will have to pay for that domain for the rest of your life (or change all accounts again)
I've been meaning to do this for a while, maybe I'll finally do it now.
And that's why I set up forwarding from Gmail and Outlook to my new Tuta account.
In a few months I should be free, happily paying for EU alternative were the default swipe gesture stands for delete instead of archive.
Forwarding in itself doesn’t do shit as they still have your mail
But yea if you want to avoid Google's website that’s nice I guess
I would also use a mail alias service so you get more privacy and can switch mail host whenever you want
Both of the services have the option to delete all forwarded messages. This is simply the best first step in order to be able to review what accounts still work with the old addresses (via inbox rules) and slowly change them. I use addy.io for mail aliasing already, but that is not really related to gaining independence from those companies.
Your data goes through them. Some scanning could have already been done, and data has been sent. Sure it’s better than nothing, but it’s not better than fully switching
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
