I'm guessing this was here originally to communicate that we will send you email notifications which are essential. Are we communicating this elsewhere in the product now that we're removing it?

[gtsiolis]

Good point, @easyCZ!

Opened https://github.com/gitpod-io/website/pull/3038 to help here. Feedback is welcome!

FWIW, I opened this as a first step towards better and more visible notifications, as we currently are abusing this option (checkboxes) in the dashboard and fail to meet user expectations.

@gtsiolis Could you provide some context to the change? Or ask someone with that context to review the PR? I'm aware we had discussions lately, but I'm struggling to understand what our approach is, and how this change helps with those efforts. 🙏

Moving to draft as currently the conversation has gone stale, but it continues to show up in review requests. Please move back to in review once actionable.

Thanks for changing this to draft[1], @easyCZ!

@geropl Regarding #14746 (comment), all the context is linked in the description of the corresponding PR in https://github.com/gitpod-io/website/pull/3038. See also relevant RFC (internal).🤓

Let me know if this helps, otherwise bringing this up to the WebApp team weekly sync could help. 🏓

For more context, this PR is a step towards improving the current state of the mixed and confusing situation on user expectations regarding the emails they are getting and triggering negative feedback about the emails they are getting, see relevant discussion (internal). 👣

If 🅰️ the changes in this PR do not not like something we'd like to merge or 🅱️ it's not obvious that having an always disabled checkbox is not good UX, let's close the PR. 💭
