Austin Franklin (@austin_aositing) reported@CleansedTweets Hotmail did that to me and I can never sign in to Facebook either. I now have one Gmail and one QQ mail account.

Joseph (@Jojostimabl) reportedI’ve already saved more time by removing a step than by adding a tool to it. Whenever an action came up regularly, my builder instinct was to figure out how to hand it over to a machine. But quite often, that was actually a waste of time. A very simple example: after every client call, you write three notes in Notion, create two tasks in Todoist, then send a recap email. My old instinct would have been to connect Notion to n8n, then n8n to Todoist and Gmail. But when you automate that too quickly, you always forget the edge cases. Like when you need to send documents, or when you have to get back to the client after doing a bit of research, and so on. By automating too quickly, you haven’t removed the work. You’ve added more complexity to your system without gaining any real efficiency. So now, I go through four questions: Can we remove it? Can we do it less often? Can we make it identical every time? And only then, which tool is actually worth spending time on? A machine is very good at repeating a clear decision. It doesn’t decide for you what still deserves to exist. It’s less exciting than connecting a new tool. But it prevents you from building something complicated around a broken habit.

The Seeker (@TheSeeker268) reported@insideNIAID This is Fauci himself, in his own words, from his own government account, telling a reporter he'll move the conversation to his personal Gmail. From what I can tell, the subject is about his own conduct in the 1980s as a public health official. And per Morens, Fauci was "too smart" to let colleagues send him anything that could "cause trouble," implying that Fauci was aware of and deliberately avoided creating a paper trail, so there's that too.

Cato (@philocato) reported.@GoogleKeep, there's a bug in the Gmail widget. Notes seem to randomly delete themselves. I think the problem is that when you open a note to read it, it immediately enters edit mode instead of read-only mode. It should remain in reading mode until the Edit button is tapped.

0xSero (@0xSero) reportedI launched Codex @ 8:30am CET and gave it Chrome, Gmail, X, and Calendar access. I had to it reverse engineer the entire oauth handshake in a sandbox, it found 2 server IPs which were stealing the oauth tokens. The attackers contacted early morning EST and executed the defacement after I went to sleep.
-
Antropysm (@Antropysm) reported@CleansedTweets Anybody consider running a private mail server via Amazon, Microsoft, etc cloud? Open source software exists, can “encrypt”, and no one can lock you out; probably more expensive than paying Google for Gmail, but at least you know why they charge absurdly low prices!
-
Gallomimia (@gallomimia) reported@ClintFiore That sounds great except i have gmail accounts with 120k unread mails, most of which are newsletters I intentionally subscribed to! What i need to do is buckle down and filter them out. Maybe you should build the email platform?

7h3h4ckv157 (@7h3h4ckv157) reportedGoogle prevents Gmail users from setting single-word names such as "Google" as their profile name, along with enforcing other restrictions such as symbols, length limits, and reserved keywords to reduce impersonation. However, the same validation wasn't enforced on the server during the mail sending process, allowing restricted display names to be injected into outgoing emails. This is display name spoofing, not email or domain spoofing. Risk: Scammers can utilize this to make phishing emails appear more convincing by impersonating trusted display names.

Batuhan Saygılı (@batuhansygili) reported@TeamYouTube Someone stole my Gmail/youtube account and added themselves from family options as a parent. When I try to log in with my rescue email and number, I encounter a parental lock. I am 26 years old. Can you help me overcome this problem?

XZBRAT (@XZBRATIK) reported@ArtemisCatbat I have the same problem with epic Games support, I lost my account in 25 years and still can't regain access to it, but there's still a link to Gmail, but there's no use, there's a new mail with two-factor protection.

Birdland Metrics (@birdlandmetrics) reportedNot really much good to say about this one tonight. Many have already reported it, but it’s the worst shutout loss for the O’s since 2004, over 20 years ago. For history buffs, 2004 was the year that Gmail was introduced to the world and the Motorola Razr was the hottest cell phone on the market. In short, it’s been a long time since the O’s had a shutout loss that was this bad. The O’s run differential this season was climbing back up to -11 prior to this game. But tonight’s loss completely dismantled it. They are now back down to a -25 run differential on the year and back into the bottom third tier of MLB teams in this category. For the last week, they have oscillated between 3 and 4 games under .500, going L-W-L-W-L-W-L. They’ll need to somehow find a way to bounce back against one of the best pitchers in the league tomorrow. It’ll be a tall task.

Imakunblog (@imakun122) reported"Around 2024 a young boy I use to know reached out to me on whatsapp and was like boss are you still in Ghana please I will like you to help me escape from where I am in Ghana, I asked him what’s happening and if he’s safe. He said he’s safe just that he left his parents in Nigeria and came to Ghana for HK. That ever since he came , they’ve turned him into their errand boy, their dry cleaner and slav£, the worst part of it all before he eats food it’s usually 4pm and that’s all he will have for the day till the next day simply because he hasn’t Cash0ut. He also said his boss seized his phone, that the only reason he’s able to have my number is because he had to login his gmail into the phone they gave to him which they only use WiFi for. He barely sleeps as they are always online all day and night., whoever sleeps will be d£alt with except for the new taker’s that are allowed to sleep. I asked him how does he plan to £scape, he said he has 100k naira in his bank account but he wont be able to withdraw it till he gets to nigeria with his atm. So i reached out to a cross-country biker, i met in 2017 off which we became friends because i usually send him Sp0rtyB*£t codes, explained everything to him and he asked if the boy can find his way to Aflao border, i called the boy he said yes. The next day he got to the border, the biker man crossed him to Togo, talked to a taxi driver to please take him to seme border. That when he gets to seme he will pay him, the driver agreed. Soon as they got to seme, the boy was able to withdraw cash and pay the driver and also pay the biker. That was how he went back to Enugu and washed his hands from anything fr@ud! If you’re ever having that mindset of going to join HK, please don’t instead go and learn mechanic, barber or plumbing. HK is modern form of sl@v£ry, you’re actually working for the boss. If you’re not a sm0**k£r once you get there you must learn how to sm0*k£, w0man!z£..….." – A Nigerian man has shared how he allegedly helped a young Nigerian return home after the young man claimed he was being h£ld in an internet fr@ud operation in Ghana.

Dwinity (@dwinity_eco) reportedjuly 9: the eu parliament tried to kill chat control and missed by 47 votes. so "voluntary" scanning of gmail, messenger and the rest stays legal until 2028 - e2e encryption exempt, for now. "for now" is the whole problem. an inbox someone else can switch to scan was never yours.

Harman (@itsharmanjot) reportedI stopped tracking our SaaS subscriptions and hardware assets in a spreadsheet that three people forgot to update. One self-hosted tool does the entire job now. It’s called CatalogIT. Track every SaaS subscription, cloud service, and physical device your team owns, with costs, renewal dates, and vendors, all in one place, self-hosted. → Service catalog tracks cost, renewal date, vendor, owner, and classification for every subscription and cloud service, not just a name and a price → Hardware inventory tracks laptops and devices with full assignment history, so you know exactly who has what → Visual renewal calendar shows every upcoming subscription or contract renewal at a glance, instead of finding out when the invoice hits → OIDC single sign-on (Okta) with SCIM 2.0 automatic provisioning, plus role-based access down to who can see financial data versus who can see hardware only → Full audit logging with configurable retention, so every change to a service or asset has a real history behind it → Notifications for upcoming renewals via Gmail, Slack, Telegram, or webhooks, and file attachments for contracts and documents via S3-compatible storage Every “track your SaaS spend” tool on the market is itself another SaaS subscription. CatalogIT’s answer: self-host the tracker too, so you’re not paying a monthly fee to monitor your other monthly fees. MIT License.
