Somewhat ironically, MailMate lets me go back fully to the Gmail keybindings, which are really fast for mail triage.

Email client update: I am migrating back to MailMate, a nerdy client I used some years back but stopped during the time I was almost all-in on Gmail. Since I’m trying to de-Google, it’s time to return. (Thanks to @elb for the reminder.)

One of the hidden gems of being on Fedi is that people here are, generally, not falling for the LLM hype.

So we don't get much in the way of deepfake videos, or other AI slop, coming down our timelines (or at least, I certainly don't; no one I follow is making or boosting AI slop).

I was just watching a video warning about this, and the creator said "we've probably all been swarmed by those ads using deepfakes to push dodgy financial schemes" - I'm like, what? we have? - "and further, deepfakes of politicians all over social media, being pushed in front of us". Again, I"m thinking "Wow, that's not my experience of social media."

But this is my only social media site, really. I don't count Discord; those are basically closed systems. They don't push anything in front of you you didn't already want there.

Which just struck me as interesting. Throw in a really good ad-blocker, and I just don't see any of this shit going around.

And, à propos de rien, I use a web client for Fedi. Which means I get to see my adblocker adding up all the ads it's blocked at the top of each page.

I love coming over to the Fedi tab, because the adblocker counter remains firmly locked on zero.
