I'm normally an inbox-zero kind of person, because unaddressed notifications are super stressful for me. But I haven't used gmail for anything but spam in a several years so this prompted me to go have a look:
3,958 in my inbox - and instead of stress, I love it. Over 1300 of those are because I, apparently, never deleted my
xenophobia.comnextdoor account.xenophobia.comlol, that’s so true though. On mine there is a lady who posts about 100 times per day, so she clearly doesn’t have a job. And she is obsessed with thinking there are gunshots. We live in a super safe suburban neighborhood. There are no gunshots. It’s hilarious.I stopped visiting very shortly after it opened up because every post was stuff like you said:
- "Where those gunshots?"
- No it was the prick 2 blocks over that lights off fireworks all year long or the train yard that's about a mile from here.
- "Tall man in hoodie walks down street! Who has photos?"
- I might. I'm tall, usually wear a hoodie, and am able to walk.
- "Thieves walk among us! I left a bowl of walnuts on my porch overnight and now they're gone!!!"
- That explains the squirrel sitting on my fence patting its belly.
I used to think I just had extra shitty neighbors, but I've heard similar from a lot of people.
- "Where those gunshots?"
We did have a hilarious troll who would rage about people taking a shit in their mailbox. Or maybe someone really kept shitting in their mailbox. Either was it was an entertaining read.
You’ll get a silver coated Gmail logo in the mail to hang on your wall for clout
I had this before, but with 7k emails I think.
I just took an hour or two of my time to clean it up completely.
- Find an email from a service that you don't want
- Click "unsubscribe"
- Search all emails from the service
- Delete them all
- Repeat
When clicking "Unsubscribe" and you are redirected to a mailchimp or similar email service, select "I did not sign up for this". This way they can get in trouble with their email service :)
Usually I did sign up for it though :/
Well I'm from Europe. Being added to marketing mails without my explicit consent is illegal.
It's funny because I have a GDPR complaint against a big online service that added me to their marketing list after using their online contact form to get some information. I thought it was a simple complaint but a few months later I got a legal document outlining all of the infractions they made and that there's now a case open against this company.
If you signed up for their mails willingly that's a totally different story of course.
Y'all talking about the emails but I was shocked to learn that other people have enough texts to not read them all...
2FA codes where you can read everything you need from the notification area?
🎶Blame it on my AD(H)D baby🎶
If it's over 1000 it should just display the infinity symbol like the GitHub PR UI, since it might as well be infinity
Lmao Github does that? May I see a screenshot?
I don't think so, it abbreviates it to 1k.
edit: yup, it does that
I can't recall the number of files needed for that but yes I've seen it a few times!
Side note, but ever since I removed those app notifications, my experience with going through my home screen felt much better.
What bothers me more is the 465 unread texts… man are you some kinda douchebag?!?!
Not sure if groupchats are included in that number but depending on the groups you're in that could be accumulated in about 10 minutes.
Which is why I avoid group chats….
This makes my eye twitchy.
I'm going to break his record.
And then some guy on YouTube is going to make a video about it called "the quest to beat Matt Turck"
Calling for pepper
This guy does anxiety
Oh lawd that's a lot of messages on iMessage
I'm sitting at around half that.
