Any of these large business coming out to explicitly say "this will not happen" is concerning.
Especially Google who is famous for randomly getting bored of developing and then suddenly cancelling services
Exactly, it's like if a company said "We're not going to launch a bomb, trust us"... It would totally mean that they're considering launching a bomb
I mean, unless there was a hoax that led to widespread belief that they were gonna launch a bomb
Its suspicious if its out of nowhere, but less so if its in response to an existing rumour
I mean this would be insane. Gmail is probably the most used email service in the world, and even though I'm not a Google fanboy, it's also probably the best.
What are people gonna use? Outlook? Fuck that. I only use that piece of trash because of my job.
Same but with education. Fuck the dept. Ed. Qld
LOL they truly suck
Yeah a random website on a DDG search (ironically) that I just did said that Gmail has 30% of the email marketshare, which I'd definitely believe. It would be a HUGE shakeup and very disruptive if they were to stop it.
gmail has a fine website but email is a commodity service, hundreds of replacements exist and could be used.
This is in direct response to a misleading viral social media post that claims that Gmail is going to be discontinued, which selectively quotes from a real announcement that Gmail is discontinuing the "basic HTML" browser interface for the service, now that pretty much every device has good performance on the regular browser interface.
