@briankrebs when did Google become Microsoft?
@kwayk42 @briankrebs When they literally removed the Don't Be Evil as their motto.

@briankrebs Chrome has this crap built-in now, and being context-aware makes it darkly hilarious.

@briankrebs actually, the tiny tiny X only works about half the time and is just the "shove it in my face again every single time" button.
It's long past time for people to dump Gmail. Especially since it's now horrifically insecure and outright dangerous if you oppose the regime.

and this is why I am going back to the 1990's style email server, spool, and a terminal window client that reads text. Just like the old Unix days as K&R intended.

@briankrebs when did Google become Microsoft?
@kwayk42 @briankrebs about a decade ago, which is why in my efforts to degoogle my electronics, I avoid Microslop in equal measure.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange
What would happen if you asked Gemini to write an Email that clearly went against it's TOS and AUP? Would it politely refuse and give you the normal message composition window I wonder. (I no longer have gmail). -

@rootwyrm It worked, but then when I went to compose an email it fired another popup trying to push Gemini.

@briankrebs the "x" is the "annoy me later" button, "no" is not an option.

@briankrebs Have Gemini compose my messages? Like this: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/16750?

@briankrebs Indeed when your plan for market growth is to hide the opt-out button, it might be time to reassess the value of your tool.

@briankrebs Does βContinueβ do the same thing as βTry nowβ?

@dianea @briankrebs Been thinking the same. It would also be nice to have a proper search again via ripgrep.

@briankrebs nah the tiny "x" is likely the "continue" button aka the "remind me later" button

@briankrebs There is a setting to turn off "smart features" which will suppress those Gemini prompts.
