Gmail's New 'Manage Subscriptions' Tool Will Help Declutter Your Inbox - Slashdot
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Google announced on Tuesday that it's launching a new Gmail feature that is designed to help users easily manage their subscriptions and declutter their inboxes.tech.slashdot.org
The image features a gray background with white and black text arranged in a centered, vertical format. The text is divided into four distinct statements, each highlighting a common misconception about different concepts. The statements are:
- "Hearsay is not Proof."
- "Feelings are not Evidence."
- "Anecdotes are not Data."
- "A Hypothesis is not a Theory."
The words "Proof," "Evidence," "Data," and "Theory" are emphasized in black, contrasting with the white text of the rest of the statements. The text is in a casual, handwritten-style font, giving it a friendly yet informative appearance. At the bottom right corner, there is a small text that reads "(Scientific)" in parentheses, followed by "The Godless & Irreligious/fb," indicating the source of the image.
