  I've contacted Google about this exactly once, and they offered to shut down my mail, which has been up ever since Gmail was invite-only. Not exactly the solution I'd like.

  @EggieWeggieVT I was able to log in on with my usual email once yesterday and waited till this update to try to log in on my phone but it’s still giving me the sign in error. I don’t use gmail on the regular. It just says “Sign-in failed: {}” so I’m not sure how to report?

  @kof_afk I need assistance. I was trying to login on my Ipad and my Iphone player account was not coming up via my gmail. I tried other logins to see if maybe it was another and it wasn't. When I went to play on my phone, my data was gone. I have my PID, USN, and Server Id.

  Step 5. Create profile: Fill out your details as it is on your valid ID. Make sure you create a new Gmail to open your account with. Do not use your main email because you might need someone to login into your account at some point and they’ll need access to that email. Keep your privacy. Verify identity: Continue the identity verification on your phone by scanning the QR Code (for people in UK use share code it’s easier and faster. For people in Canada, use driver’s license or provincial permit) Verify skills: Take the communication assessment in any language you’re comfortable with even if it’s Hausa, Igbo, or Yoruba.

  Gemini has 28% of the AI assistant market right now. Sounds great until you realize most of that is people who never actually chose it. it's just baked into Gmail, Android, and Google Search. Captive audience isn't the same as mindshare. Ask a dev what they open when they need to actually write code or debug something hard. It's not Gemini. Claude Opus 4.8 is at 88.6% on SWE-bench. GPT-5.5 is running the agentic workflows. Even Grok is taking shots. The models that actually end up in startup stacks and production pipelines? Still not Google's. And yeah, Google literally published "Attention Is All You Need" in 2017. Invented the transformer. Watched the world build the entire AI era on it, then struggled to ship a product that devs actually prefer to use. To be fair: Gemini 3.5 Flash just dropped at Google I/O last month, apparently runs 4x faster than other frontier models. Veo and Imagen are genuinely good for video/image generation. And Gemini 3.1 Pro beat everyone on ARC-AGI-2 abstract reasoning. So they can clearly build. The problem is when people have a real choice, they're still not picking Gemini for the work that matters most to them.

  A beginner’s stack for digital privacy and countering the state’s attempt to restrict your online anonymity: 1) Buy a Pixel in cash, preferably second hand. Facebook marketplace or one of those sole trader phone shops. No contract / finance. 2) Install GrapheneOS on your new pixel. Transfer all of your private affairs here e.g if you’re an activist. Signal, telegram, crypto wallet (if that’s your thing), etc etc. 3) Maintain your old phone for every-day affairs. Your bank account, your Facebook account, Uber, that thing. Take this with you for most things, keep your Pixel at home. 4) Switch your email, at least for your private affairs, away from gmail/outlook/etc towards a privacy-first provider. I haven’t done this yet but I know ProtonMail is used by many, but there may be better providers out there. Switch your private accounts to that email. 5) Buy a cheap sim, most shops will sell them. They’re £2 or so, pennies. Don’t take a plan out. Just switch your number on your private accs to the number of the new sim. Put that sim in your Pixel. That gives full security for your accs and separation of public/priv. 6.1) Install Mullvad VPN or your preferred choice, once again, if you use crypto, Mullvad will let you pay this way. It’s around £5/mo. Enable it on both phones and any other devices. 6.2) You could also rent a server from AWS etc for around £5/month and set up a unique VPN with an IP not used by any other service. I’m looking into it myself, I’m not an expert on it, or any of this really. 7) Make the switch from Windows / MacOS to a a more private and fun alternative! Linux is the most obvious. I’ve been looking into Linux Mint myself. It’s not as scary as it looks at first glance! 8) Check out ‘Nostr’ for privacy oriented, alternative platforms. I won’t say much on that as my knowledge is amateur. Good men have suggested it o me though, see the first 2 people below! — I’ve learnt this all very recently, scouring accounts of those smarter than I. I’ll suggest following @derekmross, @freddienew & @augusteprompt. Auguste isn’t a tech account exactly but still valuable.

  Manjul Vic🦅 (@VictorManjul) reported 21 minutes ago

  @Kachi_Meta @vian337 @joseph_sorbari The likely cause is the navigation process. When you visit the site: Click on "Get Started, next Start New Registration”. Avoid logging in with Gmail; instead, scroll down and complete the form with your "First Name, Surname, Phone, Email, Password." After submitting the form, an email will be sent to the provided address, check the Spam folder if you don't see it. Open the email and click the verification link. Next, log in using your email and password. Finally, click "START NEW REGISTRATION." This will open a form for the user to complete. Once finished, submit the form to complete the process.

  Paul (@0xPaulvibe) reported 31 minutes ago

  I just got an email reply that reminded me why I actually do this. It was from a girl named Roos. She replied to one of my automated funnels for Beter Turnen. The email I sent was a standard sequence. Talking about lesson prep, saving time, and offering a trial for my platform. Real "founder marketing" stuff. Her reply: "Jo, I want you to know that I'm really sorry but I can't gymnastics anymore. My knee has a very bad injury so unfortunately I have to delete your gmail too otherwise I get too much storage sorry 😔" It hit me. We talk about funnels, conversion rates, and "leads" all day. We look at dashboards and see numbers moving up or down. But on the other side of that automation is a person who feels like they owe you an apology because they can't use your product anymore. Roos didn't just unsubscribe. She felt a connection enough to explain why she was leaving. She was worried about her storage space, but more worried about letting me know why she couldn't follow the lessons. Automation usually feels cold. But if you write like a human, people respond like humans. Even when they’re leaving. That’s the goal. Building something that people actually care about losing.

  @Sakshi50038 Love the sentiment, honestly. But let's be real. Zoho Mail over Gmail — valid. Zoho is genuinely world-class and Indian. ✅ Indus over ChatGPT — tried it. Not there yet. ❌ Paragon over Nike — for what exactly? Running shoes or formal wear? Context matters. Bisleri over Kinley — both fine, honestly. Voltas over Samsung AC — actually a solid choice. Tata product. Indian brand. ✅ Jio over Vodafone — most Indians have already made this switch. ✅ SBI over Standard Chartered — depends on your needs completely. The problem with "Go Desi" campaigns: We celebrate the idea. But the Indian alternative has to actually be better or equal first. Choosing India out of guilt doesn't help. Choosing Indian because it's genuinely good — that builds the ecosystem. Build better products first. The customers will follow naturally. 🙏

  Yesterday I focused on one app. Today I want to show how much every platform that you wouldn't expect is included in the Illinois "social media" tax will have to pay [see math at bottom, some rough estimates] Gmail: $24,060,000/year Strava: $312,000 Goodreads: $312,000 Tripadvisor: $47,820,000 Proton email (EXEMPT bc nonprofit): $600,000 Math: each takes from est U.S. monthly users, Illinois has 12.6M people, US 350. So x/[monthly US users] * 12.6/350, then following math from bill [in screenshot] For apps like Gmail to collect user data regardless of monthly login (assume people get emails/have app on their phone/privacy policy makes this likely) I assume accordingly. Remember—it's charged NOT per monthly active user but per "the number of Illinois users from whom the social media platform collects data within a month." Full math: Gmail - Montly active US users:130000000, IL users:4680000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:2005000, Cost for IL law/Year:24060000 Proton - Montly active US users:15000000, IL users:540000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:50000, Cost for IL law/Year:600000 notes: (VERY rough estimate) Strava - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: 50M monthly, 20% in US Goodreads - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: (ROUGH ballpark based on avail data, 50M monthly active, 20% in US) TripAdvisor - Montly active US users:240000000, IL users:8640000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:3985000, Cost for IL law/Year:47820000 notes: 400M montly active US users, US Accounts for 60%ish

  Your longer chats aren't smarter. They're dumber. Here are the 12 wrong facts you (still) believe: 1. LONGER CHAT → not smarter ☑ One chat = one task. Finish it after getting done. ☑ Need the context? Ask for a 5-line summary, paste it into a fresh chat. Faster AND cheaper. 2. CLAUDE AGREEING → not a proof you're right ☑ "Argue the strongest case against this. Be harsh." ☑ Test: if it can't find a flaw, your idea isn't ready. 3. CONFIDENT → not always correct ☑ Prompt with: "Rate your confidence 1–10 & what change would you make to your answer." ☑ A 6/10 with reasons beats a 10/10 with vibes. 4. PROMPTING → you don't need to learn it ☑ You only need 4 words: "Ask me questions first." ☑ Claude interviews you. You click. That's it. 5. LONGER PROMPT → not a better prompt ☑ Don't write "do step 1, then 2." Write the end goal ☑ "Make this report something my CEO screenshots." It's smarter than your directions. 6. BROWSER → switch to Claude app ☑ The Claude app builds the real file in your folder. ☑ The browser makes you copy-paste. ☑ Make a folder, call it "cowork," point Claude at it. Now it ships .xlsx, .pptx, .pdf - for real. 7. CHAT → not the whole building ☑ Chat is floor 1: Cowork, Skills, Code are upstairs. ☑ Open the app, click Cowork (the whole upgrade). 8. SKILLS → build one tonight, no code ☑ Type /skill-creator and say: "Teach Claude to do [your task] the way I like it. Ask me questions first." ☑ Now it fires on its own when the task fits. 9. PASTING LOGINS → never do this ☑ Never paste a password. No need to explain why. ☑ That's literally what connectors are for. ☑ Customize → Connectors → connect Gmail, Calendar, Drive properly. 10. AI → keep the understanding ☑ Outsource the typing. Not the understanding. ☑ Don't ship what you can't explain. After answers: "Explain this to me like I'll be questioned on it." 11. FIRST DRAFT → it's the starting line ☑ The first draft is yours to fix, not to ship. ☑ Prompt: "What's the weakest part of this? Fix it." 12. TOO FAR BEHIND → no, you're not ☑ The bar to 'knowing how' is to try it. ☑ Open Claude tonight. Not Monday. Tonight. Quick gut-check before you scroll: If you nodded at even 3 of these, that's not a 'you' problem - nobody told you.

  If you pay for Google Workspace, you already have access to AI agents. Most people on the paid plan have no idea they're there. Google added them through a feature called Workspace Studio, accessible directly from inside Gmail. You open it, pick a ready-made agent or describe the job in plain English, and switch it on. No coding required. It runs on its own from that point. I switched one on this week. Every morning it reads my inbox, summarises what came in overnight, and flags the emails that actually need a reply. Three minutes to set it up. The summary is waiting when I sit down. Other agents draft meeting prep notes before a scheduled call, or handle the standard questions you get asked over and over. Any job you do by hand right now, or skip because it takes too long. You describe it once, the agent does it. Set up two or three of these and you claw back an hour or two a week, without changing how you work. The feature is already in your account if you're on the paid plan. Free Gmail won't have it. Go to Gmail, look top right for the Studio icon next to the Gemini star, and open it.

  Hot take: WWDC 26 was a dud 💩 Apple promised this Siri 2 years ago. Got sued. Settled for $250M. Delivered it now in 2026. But there is actual good stuff in there. Late in classic apple fashion but promising this time. WHAT THEY GOT RIGHT: → Siri finally has cross-app context: it reads your messages, emails, calendar and just acts. No copy-pasting, no switching apps, no explaining yourself twice → On-screen awareness is real. Point at anything, ask Siri about it. On Mac you can right-click a window and ask questions about what's on it. I didn't think I needed this until I saw it → Phone app pulling context from your emails mid-call is the sleeper feature nobody's talking about → Siri remembers conversations now. Finally. This is the assistant Apple was pretending to have since 2022. WHERE THEY LOST THE PLOT: → "Customisable voice sliders for Siri": bro, Samsung has had this since 2019 → AI reply suggestions in Messages: Gmail did this in 2018 and nobody clapped → Tab management in Safari packaged as a breakthrough feature. It's tab management. → Federighi talked about privacy for 10 minutes straight. Cool. Also Google Gemini is now inside your iPhone and Apple is paying them $1B a year for it. That part was a footnote. The product is genuinely good. The showmanship is still peak Apple, half the keynote was dressing up solved problems as inventions. But the cross-app stuff? That's real. That changes how you use your phone. 3rd party applications cannot really let you do much with AI agents on your phone but when you’re apple, you can literally make the phone do anything using AI. They gave a peak behind that curtain at WWDC 2026. You cannot really use the apps of your choice with SIRI right now but surely, that will come. Imagine saying, “hey Siri, it’s time to leave for work” and Siri calling you a cab. In 5 years, you may not be looking at your phone at all. Screens are so old school, voice is the new surface.
