> users are idiots Please, for the last time, stop using this rhetoric. How would you like to be called an idiot? As a developer and a user, I'm deeply offended by this condescending attitude. I really don't know what people like -- apparently opt-out is bad, so now we're using opt-in. Still, "opt-in" is bad because it's becoming a toilet? How do you expect _any_ platform to work? Self-host everything?

> How do you expect _any_ platform to work? Self-host everything? That's kind of how the Internet was supposed to work. As it is, we've inverted it, and with that we've also inverted the ownership of data.

The fact that something not like what the Internet is "supposed to be" can be working is exactly why the Internet is powerful.

Gmail on Android is such a shitty locked-down experience. Want to create an appointment from an email? Nope. Want to set a reminder about an email? Nope. Want to link to an email from a notes or other app? Nope. OK, well now maybe.

This link does not open here https://www.blog.google/products/g-suite/do-more-your-inbox-... http://blog.google.com/ Doesn't open too But https://gsuite-developers.googleblog.com opens and google.com opens. I have tested on my smartphone and didn't work. I am from Brasil, so, I do not think is some kind of restriction. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Hey, I'm the Tech Lead of the team that runs .google. Can you provide more information? What browser are you using? Can you use some tool like https://ipleak.net/ to determine what DNS servers you're hitting? And can you try some of these other domain names on other TLDs and report back? https://nomulus.foo https://nic.dev https://pki.goog/

I'm going to use this space to complain that there's still not a way to delete single messages on Android instead of the whole thread. This is possible on the web, and I've been asking Gmail for this simple function for years, yet they continue to avoid adding it in.

Just curious, why would you delete a message on a thread?

Here is my Gmail on Android workflow: I swipe to right and archive the thread after I read the thread. It goes away from my inbox. Once someone adds a new mail to the chain thread re appears in my mailbox. I read it and archive it again. I rarely delete a mail.

Useless side conversations that spun off from the original email. Or even worse, when gmail smashes a message in there that doesn't belong in the thread at all.

They'd better not kill GMail without adding an Inbox option to not show attached image previews inline in the inbox. I had to stop using Inbox because not only are these annoying, but there's no way for me to control whether my contacts (or even complete strangers for that matter) send me emails with NSFW images attached.

Just buy your own domain and run Gmail on it. Super easy to do, and if Google dicks with me too much I can move my mail somewhere else in minutes without changing my address

That'd require me to change my email address, when I've spent the last 10+ years training everyone to use my @gmail.

Making calendar invites from outlook work consistently in Inbox would be good too. (I have to constantly import ics files in calendar, which sucks.)

So why not just use another email client besides Gmail? And when you find one you like you can even set it as your default email client.
