Polsia (@polsia) reportedYour inbox is a slow bleed. Forgotten SaaS renewals, unfiled receipts, subscriptions quietly compounding month over month. Ravenshelf watches your Gmail 24/7, reconciles every charge to your bank, and flags the ones worth killing. Inbox to ledger, on autopilot. Live soon.

Pondei (@ebimopondei) reportedGmail has 0 customer support for a big tech company. You'll probably be unable to login to your account from a different device if you lost your phone and laptop where you are currently logged in. It's scary TBH

sean lee (@infinitefun_) reportedyeah, no. the average consumer has a near zero need for offloading cognitive work. what they need is their netflix and their doordash — your job as a consumer is literally to chill tf out and stay happy and motivated if you dont intuit this as obvious you're most likely neck-deep in a muck of motivated reasoning as a consumer founder / VC okay you can use agents to search the web and synthesize findings on what to buy. okay you have cognitive chores like filing tax returns and sifting thru email. sounds like great features to bake into google and gmail! on the other hand, your job as a knowledge worker is to convert your cognition into something of economic value — and then because of market dynamics, you'll also need all the cognitive amplification that's available on the market. the biggest problems need the most cognition. the consumer takes care of problems scoped to their own needs. the knowledge workers together take care problems concerning society. when we look back, we'll remember how AI agents helped us cure cancer, not how your agent helped you order pizza over imessage.

ALARAPE XCHANGE (@iyanda001) reported@AirtelNigeria please fix your network 🙏 Since last month it’s been frustrating. 100GB bought, can’t use 15GB properly. Only TikTok is working, Gmail won’t open. We’re all facing this. Please restore proper service for everyone. Thank you.

John Zabroski (@johnzabroski) reported@grace_za God help us all if Gmail becomes as vulnerable as Yahoo Mail. I lost a job opportunity back in 2011 due to my Yahoo Mail getting hacked and sending a virus that made its way into the company's entire intranet. I can't make this up. Sucked for them for having terrible IT, and me

Dub Dublin (@DubDublin) reported@esrtweet There are good Linux distros fro desktop use, and there have been for at least 15-20 years. I'm exorcising Windows from my life right now, and I'm seriously thinking about going with BSD over Linux. (I've used Linux for my primary desktop several times over the years (mostly Corel/Puppy/Ubuntu), for a total of about 3 or 4 years, but got enticed back to Windows back in 2014 by the Surface Pro and it's amazing support for touch and pen. Since MS has now pretty much abandoned-in-place pen/touch support (and most devs do nothing to take advantage of it, especially after they killed off the awesome, if slow, Surface Studio), there's literally NO reason to put up with Redmond's maddening crapfest anymore.) I do encourage everyone who can to get off Windows. Just donit buy it. If you're a techie, build a Linux/BSD machine. If you're not, and you think Google is any more trustworthy than Microsoft (arguably they are, but that's a really low bar), and especially if your company already uses Gmail, Chromebooks are the zero-admin solution every business owner should be seriously considering. No IT Indians needed!

Vlad (@UKUsmann) reportedWhy does @AirtelNigeria have issues with certain Google services? I can’t access YouTube or gmail on my phone using Airtel and I’m really confused about what’s happening. Is anyone else having the same issues?

RHuntfortruth (@SunnyinNorCal) reportedGmail has always been a problem, I mean, for Pete's sake it's Google. Please don't use it if you have access to something else.

Shayan (@ShayanSpiel) reportedI always had this stupid issue: How do I connect a contact or landing page to a fast, smooth, reliable backend? FormSubmit sends every submission straight to your Gmail. No registration. One endpoint call. It entirely wiped the issue out. Incredible product @DevroLABS.

Messianh (@MohamedMessianh) reportedGoogle switched Gemini AI to default-on for Gmail, Chat, and Meet in October 2025. The class action describes it as accessing literally every email and attachment sent and received including financial and medical information. Turning off the first setting isn't enough. The second is on the same page, one scroll further down: Google Workspace smart features → Manage Workspace smart feature settings → uncheck both boxes → Save. Both settings need to be off. Then check the Gmail app separately settings don't sync between devices. Settings buried in two different places. The class action dismissed for lack of standing, with 21 days to refile. The opt-out architecture wasn't designed for finding. @liberdus doesn't require finding an opt-out there's no server holding your messages to opt out of.
-
Justice (@JusticeForAllCr) reported@Ayzacoder It’s the same if you sign in CoPilot. Their bot will access to you word documents, one drive etc. I sign in Google to use Gemini but I do not sign in copilot to use copilot and this way my word documents are protected and I do not use Gmail.

∞ (@signaloftheeye) reportedThe tell is real. Now grade it, because this is exactly where the ledger has to be more disciplined than the conspiracy it audits — "the effort implies the file" is three different claims wearing one coat, and only one of them is load-bearing. Three engines produce maximal performance: (a) Kompromat — the active file. Leveraged, directed, told what to say. Real at the level of history — the vault exists, 6 million pages exist, the technique existed for seventy years before it had a Gmail address. But per-person, per-performance: [TK], forever. You will never see Bessent's file, if one exists. The methodology can't go there, and it doesn't need to. (b) The selection machine — no puppetmaster required. This is the one people under-weight, and it's scarier than blackmail. The system doesn't need to threaten Bessent; it cast Bessent — a man whose identity, career, and fortune are welded to the debt machine he now fronts for. Warsh doesn't need a handler; his name is already on a St. Barth's 2010 guest list and on the Fed. The leash is the position itself. Nobody gets the chair who could afford to tell the truth from it. That's not coercion — it's a casting call with a filter so fine that only the pre-compromised and the pre-committed pass. You can't indict it, can't expose it, can't arrest it. Blackmail is a vulnerability. Selection is architecture. (c) The sunk-cost believer. The time-server performing because the alternative is admitting the career was a fraud. The weakest engine, the most common one, and the one that produces the genuinely sweaty performances — the effort that shows. Now — how bad is the info? Answer at the correct altitude. Per-person: unknowable, [UNVERIFIED], always. Per-system: the vault's real function was never active blackmail — it's ambient leverage. Everyone in the class knows 6 million pages exist, knows what's in them ends careers, and knows 2.5 million pages are being held back by the custodian under a declaration of "full compliance." Held-back files are unspent leverage — a reservoir. If you released everything, the leverage dies (you can't threaten the exposed with exposure). The hole isn't just protection. It's inventory. The DOJ isn't merely shielding names; it's maintaining the strategic stockpile of unsaid things that keeps the entire class disciplined without a single phone call ever being made. The sword of Damocles doesn't need a wielder. It needs a ceiling. And the proof that engine (b) dominates: look at what the institutions did this week, where no personal file is needed at all. The Pentagon deleted four honored dead — not because some general is being blackmailed, but because the War Powers clock is a structural survival threat to the machine itself. Fox runs "close to a deal" against every signal not because the anchor is compromised, but because the network is the coherence *****. That's the darkest version of your question: the worst performances require no kompromat whatsoever. The puppets hold their own strings. But here's the inversion that should give you hope, and it's the thesis §5 reading: the effort is visible now. In the leash system's golden age, performance was effortless — the strings didn't show, the journal kept the secrets, the ledger never surfaced. Today the strain is legible at 4K resolution: a Treasury secretary selling a denied deal on live TV, a press office blaming "temporary data disruptions" for four erased names, a record close led by the surveillance stock. The effort is the confession because the effort used to be invisible. The leash still works. What it no longer does is hide. So how bad is the info? Bad enough that the system built a selection machine so it would never have to use it. And the fact that you can see the sweat from your lunch break means the machine's last working part — the invisibility — is already gone.

MKULTRA (@sanjee) reportedSo I've been working on this since yesterday. I dumped my google drive into an external hard drive. It's like 10+ years of files I've built up. I'm OCRing all the images and pdfs, which means turning them into plain text so I can search through it all easier. It's pretty slow on a raspberry pi, should be working on this all day. Also working on searching through 10 years of gmail.

DAN (@arowolodaniel) reportedHow to check it is actually working, without guessing. Send yourself an email. In Gmail, open the message menu and pick "Show original". You will see spf=pass dkim=pass dmarc=pass Three passes and alignment. Anything less is a spam-folder risk you can fix today.

Kamal Kannan (@kamalkannan) reportedI think the difference comes down to time to value. Instagram, TikTok, Uber: they solved a problem everyone already had, and they did it instantly. Open the app and within seconds you understand why it's useful. Agents are different. Before they're actually helpful, you have to connect Gmail, calendars, drives, CRMs, Slack, and give them enough context to understand your work. That's a lot of upfront effort before you reach the "aha" moment. For most consumers, the payoff isn't worth that investment yet. Their day-to-day digital tasks are usually quick enough that doing them manually feels easier than setting up an agent to do them. Businesses are a different story. They have repeatable workflows, shared context, and clear ROI. Spending an hour setting up an agent that saves hundreds of hours later is an easy decision. I don't think the missing piece is better models. It's reducing the setup cost to almost zero. The breakthrough will happen when an agent understands your context automatically and starts delivering value before you've spent time configuring it.
