New comment by tzury in "Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left"

tzury — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 08:15:49 +0000

A. Disable the Gemini suggestions if you don’t want it (I did so).

B. If one’s using a free mail service for 16 years, and then came to not liking its recent development, in which world shitting on it in public is the right and necessary thing to do?

C. In which world someone switching mail provider is a top front page news item?

D. If the case in B is not free, then this means the OP was heavier user than my teenage daughter. Thus consumed more of it.
