These companies just push hard for people to leave them.
openai’s chat gpt, and microsoft’s bing flavor of chat gpt both have android apps. google’s bard does not. that is all…
This is super cool. No longer need to fiddle with third-party LLM APIs.
For those worried that your emails contents might get leaked, I’m pretty sure they’re not using your email content to train, but only use it as context. LLMs are stateless, as soon you you start a new chat, it forgets everything from before.
If you believe Google isn’t planning on eventually training Bard on Gmail, then I have a half dozen bridges to sell you.
Switched to outlook but soon found out that some of your emails arent even received. That occured when I was trying to sign up to this lemmy instance. Luckily the admin was a very friendly person who understood the situation and manually approved my signup.
Outlook is just choosing another big tech. Why not something like protonmail or tutanota?
I’m starting to switch over to Proton. I haven’t paid for it yet but my plan is to start paying and potentially grab usernames on other sites so I can have a consistent email across any site I decide to use.
Proton unlimited was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Very nice vpn service that works even on arch Linux on school wifi (making sure to switch to tcp protocol), e2ee mail that I use to send confidential medical records to drs, included simplelogin premium (currently over 400+ aliases), excellent and knowledgeable customer support, and so much more. I just really love this company and their role in the FOSS, privacy, security space.
Only reason I ever use my gmail is because they are tied to my phone and some of the games on my phone, otherwise I wouldn’t be using them.
I deleted google and only have game accounts email only from simplelogin aliases. Maybe you’ll eventually realize google is a shit company and leave that environment as well.
As much as I don’t like gøøgl€, on the phone front, it’s the lesser of the two evils I can choose from currently. I probably won’t be able to outright buy my next phone before getting service and slap on a custom ROM, so I’d rather deal with the devil I know over appl€.
I use a degoogled google pixel (grapheneos) so there are definitely options out there.
