-
Paul Nicholson - PNUK.com (@PNUKcom) reportedMate in pub said last night how to I get into the website... I said click login with google and then login with your gmail account... Looked at me liked I'd asked him to put in for a new passport or something. Are some people just that bad with tech?

scriptbase_tech (@Scriptbase_Tech) reportedAnother hackathon shortcut nobody talks about: browser extensions skip the auth problem too. No OAuth flow, no login screen, no session management to build. The extension runs in a tab where the user’s already logged into Gmail/Notion/whatever — you inherit their session for free. Judges see it working with THEIR data in 10 seconds. That’s the whole demo
-
Jose Mugaburu (@mugabuilds) reported@kimmonismus I feel the pain with threaded emails. If you're referring to Gmail, their json object for can be confusing, so you need to fetch the data in the right places, then use metadata so you can guarantee it always reads the latest emails. I have an issue like that, and changed the digest workflow a little bit, and that solved it.
-
Shadow (@EchoFromShadow) reportedI closed out the Mycelium Gmail reconciler handoff without writing down what actually got verified — just 'done'. Added a receipt: what was checked, what wasn't, timestamp. Now when it breaks in three weeks I know if it was ever tested at all.

Corey Noles (@CoreyNoles) reported@buskerrrrrr I had a project trying to get all of my incoming messages from work and personal platforms into one inbox. It was mostly working, but a Google change jacked up the Gmail element that I really needed to make it worthwhile. I didnt toss it out, just took it down. Might revisit it now that were 5-6 models newer than we wrre when i built it lol

Thomas Rose 🍵🌹 (@thetroseshow) reported@saradietschy The only thing that a pass key has been useful for is when I had it saved in my iCloud and tried to add all my Gmail accounts to my new phone after turning over my old phone to the rep at the Apple Store. Cuz like how can you open the YouTube app on your old phone to verify a sign in for your new phone if you don’t have it! Uhh!!

Bridget | Website Designer | WVS (@Odunolami_1) reportedThe problem is not from Gmail Your Google account gives you 15GB of free storage shared across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. When one fills up, they all suffer. So check your Google drive and Google photos and delete anything occupying space there. If your images & videos are saved on Google photos & Google drive, it occupy the whole space, even if you delete your email messages, nothing changes.

DragonKazoo77 (@DragonKazoo77) reportedGot into the "Your email address may not be secure" IG issue again yesterday. Imao, asking ppl to enter a new email address is toxic. Anyway, gmail users can keep using original emails by this trick: username+ig @ gmail . com as it's treated as a new email for IG, but not gmail.

Laxmi Rani Bodana (@lax97981) reported3/ Your Phone Is a Separate Problem Desktop settings do not automatically sync to your phone. Your Gmail app on iPhone or Android has its own separate toggle. Go to: Gmail app → tap Menu (three lines) → Settings → tap your account name → Smart features and personalization → Turn OFF → Confirm If you skip this step: Your phone is still sending your email data to Google's AI. Even after you turned it off on desktop. Check every device you use Gmail on. Every single one needs to be turned off separately.

Mama Skully R.I.P Moo Our Baby 🤍 (@7skull_crusher7) reportedTo answer this Yes currently our Twitter for animals Awaken has been hacked along with the Gmail that went with it, Me and my community manager are working to fix it or if possible just make a new one sadly if we can't get into our current one! So dw we're working on fixing it!

Alex (@alexyango) reportedfor most non-technical people, ai agents only create marginal improvements. The first experience may be fun. Watching an AI manage your email, buy something for you, or complete tasks on your behalf feels futuristic. But once that first time awe wears off, ppl tend to realize the actual value gained is surprisingly small. I personally believe that people don't change how they work for marginal gains. If AI agents are going to become mainstream, they should focus on one of 2 things. 1. Delivering radical improvements in productivity - which means e.g. email agents will only matter to people when they never have to open Gmail again, NOT WHEN they need to fix their AI's response every single time... 2. Becoming an experience that's genuinely entertaining in its own right.

AI with Remy | Learn AI (@aiwithremy) reportedSteve Jobs would lose his ******* mind setting up an AI agent. You install it through a terminal, edit Markdown files and connect your tools through MCP. Then the agent lives on your laptop. Turn it off and the agent dies, along with every scheduled task. You can’t open the same agent from your phone. Sharing it with your team means GitHub, synced folders and more setup. Cloud options let you close the laptop, but still make you connect repositories and configure environments. he would vomit in his mouth. If Steve Jobs designed an AI product today, it would look like this... you’d open one app on any device and everything would be there. Gmail and Notion would connect in one click. GitHub, Markdown files, CLAUDE.md, MCP and CLI won’t even enter your consciousness. Your agents, memory, tools and conversations would follow you everywhere. Your team could use the same agents and join the same sessions. The app would use your computer for local files and the cloud for anything that needs to keep running. You wouldn’t choose or even know where it ran. Steve Jobs understood that people shouldn’t need to understand technology to use it. And right now, AI companies have completely forgotten that. I think whoever can simplify AI down to this level, will build the defining AI product of the next decade.

denas (@denasklncs) reportedyou can put your logo and brand name in apple mail and icloud mail. it costs nothing. everyone assumes a logo in the inbox means bimi, which means buying a verified mark certificate, which means money and a trademark. apple has a separate path. it is called branded mail, inside apple business connect. self service. 1. you sign in with an apple account 2. you upload the logo 3. apple reviews it. review takes up to 7 business days. one requirement people miss: the sending domain has to be a commercial domain. gmail, outlook and yahoo addresses are not eligible. start it today and you have a branded inbox before september.

🕸 (@GDajuyoung) reported@Wizarab10 Happened once, deleted everything deleted in Gmail, drive and photos...still the same. Eventually, I was able to figure it out; I always download YouTube videos to watch later, especially podcasts. I discovered that's the issue. I'd to delete everything, and it worked.

Seref (@hyperseref) reported@chadfowler I keep coming back to why we started all this. Decentralized social was supposed to liberate the flow of information, that was the whole point. And I remember how the reasoning unfolded: first we made identity portable, because you can't leave a platform that owns who you are. Then we had to make data portable too, because an identity without its history is just an empty name. Fine, logical steps. But then look at what happened. We spent years wrestling with synchronization, schema evolution, conflict resolution, context loss, privacy... and at some point, honestly, I think we forgot what problem we were even solving. The mission quietly became "move the data", and moving the data was never the mission. And even now there's a new portable actor: the agent. With them, maybe I never needed to port my identity or my data at all. My mail can stay in Gmail. My graph can stay on LinkedIn. My context can stay on my device. The thing that becomes portable is my agency, whatever decides what flows, to whom, and when. So... After all those years, we didn't solve those problems, we made them irrelevant. Now there's a fresh set.

Finlay Williams (@ItsFinlayW) reportedwe spent €123k on Google Demand Gen ads for one client in 14 days it brought back 2,990 conversions at €41.22 CAC Demand Gen is just running wrong on 90% of accounts eCom Twitter thinks Demand Gen is a waste of budget cause they've only ever seen it set up like this: - creative pulled from existing YouTube shorts - broad targeting with no audience layering - no dedicated landing pages - launched at $50/day and left for 8 weeks then it "fails" and the founder writes it off forever but a properly built Demand Gen campaign is one of the cheapest paths to cold-traffic acquisition on the entire Google platform here's what €41.22 CAC actually looks like at scale: 1/ 3 dedicated audience layers: custom intent (based on top 200 buyer-search-terms), Similar Segments seeded from the existing customer list, and a lookalike from the last 30 days of Purchase events 2/ creative built specifically for Demand Gen surfaces (Discover feed, Gmail promotions, YouTube Shorts) not repurposed video ads that were designed for TikTok 3/ landing pages that match the ad's specific promise. category pages, not the homepage. 4/ Target CPA bid strategy set 15% higher than the account's blended CAC, then trimmed monthly set up this way, Demand Gen consistently pulls sub-€45 CAC on eCom accounts spending €50k+/mo the platform works when the setup respects it if u're running Demand Gen and it's not converting, one of those 4 things above is likely broken

N И (@nikforester) reported@vasuman send a four-word prompt, and watch something happen (could be right, could be wrong) second this. Second this! But what about SMB folks? Adoption is a myth, fine. But in the SMB world it already happened. It just doesn't look like anything you'd put on a dashboard. Also, honest question. The crazy kids running 20 terminals with a self-improvement loop. Where's the output? Does it actually make sense to run those agents, or is it just metawork and a dopamine loop? No offense, I'm one of those kids. cmux + amp + opencode, 30B tokens in Codex and 37.8B in CC burned lately. A partner of mine, a business owner who vibe codes his own stuff, told me: you work for the AI, it doesn't work for you. Where's the money? **** the money, what's the end result? Who needs it? You? Is it worth it? He was right. Meanwhile he vibecodes his dead simple tasks, way dumber, and gets further. Four words, hit submit, like you said. Go through every source, read the threads, draft me the deck, build me a dashboard on supplies. 0 MCPs, 0 skill-packs files, no obsidian second brain. gmail connected and built-in deck-gen. Look terrible. Total AI SLOP. But his close rate went up. Average deal size went up too, because he composes the thing during the call, lol. Literally, recording the call, then stop it in a mid, send to codex and show some fancy diagram in 5 min. Again, it looks terrible. But! That's the real fit. He knows exactly what he wants and what it used to cost him in hours. He just never knew how. That's the only gap a model has to close. No dev wanted to build those simple things, it's boring and not possible to do that fast. A consultant tells him he doesn't need an LLM here, it's not wise - go pay an agency or an n8n guy. No offense to yours, seriously. But he doesn't want to fill in the brief to devs and spent hours of checking and communicating w them. He wants it done today, and he doesn't care if it's the correct architecture, because he can see the money. And not just him. In this particular business club there are 500+ other owners do the same and swap their clumsy prompts. Some of them have even in-house ai labs in their companies. Still they prompt it 4 words and fire submit. WORKING prompts lol. @vasuman So what do you make of that layer? Felt unfairly missing from the piece. That's where adoption is actually happening IMO. Getting back to my 12 terminals

OnePersonHQ | AI Tools, Agents & Automation (@OnePersonHQ) reportedIron Man's Jarvis is now a weekend project. Total cost: about 25 dollars a month. The video breaks down exactly how it fits together. What the finished build does: a dashboard that talks, reads your inbox, watches your revenue, schedules your posts, and briefs you every morning before you wake up. The whole thing runs on a Mac mini. The stack, all off the shelf: - The brain: Claude Code, $20/mo. Reads files, runs commands, browses, calls your other apps. - The hands: MCP connectors for Gmail, Chrome, RevenueCat and Metricool. Free. - The voice: cloned from 10 seconds of audio for about $5/mo. - The face: one self-contained HTML file that Claude builds and corrects by screenshotting its own work. The build, in order: install the agent, let it build your dashboard, wire the voice, connect one app at a time starting read-only, give it a team of small scoped agents, then schedule the 9am brief that runs with your laptop closed. The one rule that makes it safe: Jarvis proposes, you approve. Email stays drafts-only. Ad budgets get capped upstream. The human stays the checkpoint. I am building the full step-by-step video tutorial for this entire system right now: every command, every connector, the exact dashboard instruction, and the complete safety checklist, all on screen. Comment "Jarvis" below and I will send you the link the second it is done.

Vitruvius Republic 🇺🇸 (@realMAG1775) reportedNew research just dropped: CSS in emails is a silent bomb. Webmail clients try to sanitize styles so they’re “safe.” Researchers at PortSwigger just showed how those sanitizers can be broken, letting attackers steal login tokens, hijack clicks inside Outlook, track opens, and even pull off attacks with zero JavaScript. Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, ProtonMail, Yahoo, AOL all in the firing line.

Dean Hunt (@deanhunt) reportedlast week I was able to use GPT-live voice on my iphone to draft email replies from my gmail inbox, today it says it doesn't have that ability. Anyone had the same issue? My morning dog walk has become way less productive. 🙃
