in reply to Tuta • • •To be fair, that setting exists already for quite a while (and I've turned it off ages ago on my gmail account). Good to remind people to check once in a while whether it's still turned off, but it's not like they did this yesterday.
Here's the post from january 2025 about exactly this interface.

in reply to Tuta • • •second toot about this today - how is this "breaking" when I already switched it all off the last time it was "breaking" two or three months ago?
(I verified it's all still off...)

Had to go Proton for all bc every time I attempted to sign up w Tuta for a account (paid annually after sign-up) I was flagged as potential abuser. With VPN. W/O VPN. Multiple devices, IPs, and browsers over a two-month period. 🤷🏻
That said, I still appreciate what you do. Disappointing to not have been able to sign up and pay. 💰 Maybe fix that. -Random midwestern parent who likes privacy and technology 👍

Google will keep raping everything you put on their servers, like they have being doing forever.

Every mail you sent/receive to/from gmail is a door wide open.
No other option then to block all traffic from gmail accounts.

in reply to Tuta • • •Unfortunately the Gemini star icon remains active so you can accidentally click on it.
It's a problem on the small top area of the Gmail app on an iphone

in reply to Tuta • • •I already turned off smart features, anticipating this.
Only use my gmail for trash and unimportant logins though at least
