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.

Did you spot a typo? Send something to the wrong person?…

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.

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.

Karl Voit :emacs: :orgmode:

If you need #E2EE via #email, the only 2 valid standards are #OpenPGP and #SMIME.

It's not that those are without issues but everything else is mediocre.

Yes, you can switch to non-email-services as well such as #Signal. But that's a different island.

Si usas #GMail y te has enterado de su última afirmación de introducir un verdadero #cifrado de extremo a extremo: es mentira.

Google tiene el control y/o no puedes hacer nada en contra de que Google tome el control en cualquier momento.

El #E2EE real funciona de otra manera: sólo el emisor y el receptor pueden acceder al contenido protegido.

#Meta también definió el E2EE de tal manera que el mensaje se cifra desde el emisor hasta ellos, se procesa en texto claro y se vuelve a cifrar para la transmisión al receptor.

No dejes que te engañen con afirmaciones falsas y definiciones erróneas.

Are new Google E2EE emails really end-to-end encrypted? Kinda, but not really.

Yes, encryption/decryption occurs on end-user devices,…

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.

arstechnica.com/security/2025/

michal.sapka.pl/2025/gmail-e2e

#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.

@Wuzzy@cyberplace.social #Gmail is already mostly a spam service. The majority of email my servers get from #Google servers is bog-standard phishing attempts or other forms of scam mail. Its absurd that Google rejects email from legitimate self-hosters because they're supposedly a source of spam mail, but lets their own service spam up the Internet with no restrictions.

Self-host your email, don't give mega-corporations any more power to abuse!

Wuzzy

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.
