If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I LOVE older murder mysteries, and my mother gets very frustrated by the lack of mobile phones, which we think is because mostly she was alive at the time and so it all feels contemporary and therefore there should be phones, whereas for me it's a foreign country etc etc
