Hi @leggett.org, any chance Simplify could (optionally) remove the "Help me write Alt+H" prompt that is now obfuscating the cursor in newly opened Gmail composition windows?

Thanks. Not always a big huge fan of modernity over here.
A screenshot of the Gmail composition window for a freshly started email, showing the "help me write" prompt displaying adjacent to the cursor in the empty email body box.

Shopify is the third-largest publicly traded company in Canada. Its top executives are pushing right-wing nonsense on their employees, supporting right-wing media, and opposing higher taxes on capital gains. It was great to dig into it with @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and @llebrun.bsky.social!

Shopify says it’s a different kind of company, yet it platforms hateful figures and its COO cofounded a far-right “news” site.

This week @llebrun.bsky.social & @rachelgilmore.bsky.social join @parismarx.bsky.social to discuss Shopify’s leaders’ right-wing politics.

"Shopify said that if you feel as though you cannot hold this tension, you can talk to your boss about whether you can continue to feel engaged at Shopify, which to me reads like a threat to your job. Either get, on board with us allowing really gross vendors to monetize through our services, or you can quit."

@pfbvan.bsky.social Hi, looking for a copy of The Sand Pebbles by Richard McKenna. Do you have? Prefer new soft cover.
