Peter Garber (@petegarber) reported@Cartidise @OutofGalaxyy The icons might be stupid here but Gchat works pretty well inside of Gmail and this UI actually is OK. The only problem is that Gchat should literally be able to replace @SlackHQ but it’s been ignored.

peter_ishere (@peter_ishere) reportedI'm 15. My startup has 23 paying users and $460 MRR after 1 month, but I'm gonna kill everything and start from zero. Problem is: 99% of people who see it and try it, don't use it. A lot of eyeballs have been landing on Dirac from organic content, but those people who do try it out, churn way too fast. Not because landing page is bad. Not because product is poorly made. But because of 2 reasons: 1. There's no need for another email agent. The bottleneck has never been the tool. It's the founder who's using it. So there's no way to make a tool to beat that. 2. Emotional cost of switching from Gmail is TOO high.

Natalie Neptune (@NatalieNeptune1) reportedMy contacts lived in 7 places: LinkedIn DMs, Gmail, WhatsApp, calendar, random notes, and that spreadsheet I swore I'd update. Meeting people was never my issue. Finding them again was.

Don Fulano (@donfulano_co) reported8. Gmail, Drive, and Photos share the same storage. That’s why deleting emails often makes no difference. If you still see "98% used" after cleaning out Gmail, the problem lies in Drive or Photos.

Vinay Bharambe (@Vinay_bharambe) reported🚨 BREAKING: Gmail says you're out of storage? Stop deleting emails. Your inbox probably isn't the problem. I freed 18GB in minutes by cleaning something most people never check. Here's how: 🧵👇

Jay Brunet (@SRVpress) reportedAnd because I have only 2 email recipients on that server, I'm fairly confident it was some gmail bullshit complaint.

Subscribr (@SubscribrAI) reportedA YouTube channel with 14 videos just pulled 104,000 views on one upload using a Native American AI character. Frank Redhawk is 14 videos deep. 3,800 subscribers. 141,335 total views. Started uploading on a dormant January 2021 Gmail with 5 years of trust score baked in before the first video. The top video pulled 104,000 views in 30 days. "The Native Way to Cool Any Room for Pennies — No AC, No Electricity, No Fan." 18 minute video. 10.3x the channel average. The second pulled 35,000 views. "The Native Way to Purify Any Water in Minutes." 19 minute video. 3.5x outlier. The whole channel runs on one authority frame. "The Native Way." Every title. Every video. The AI character wears the cultural authority. The audience trusts the wisdom before Frank says a word. Monetization is already stacked. sells an ebook. Every viewer worried about the grid going down is a $47 buyer. Why this play works. Cultural authority frames are the highest converting hook on YouTube in 2026. Amish. Native American. Nordic. Ancient Roman. Every one of them implies wisdom the audience has never heard before. The costume does half the trust work. Meanwhile the content underneath is public. Traditional cooling techniques exist in old ethnobotany textbooks. Charcoal water purification is on Wikipedia. Free public domain knowledge wrapped in an authority frame. The playbook. Step 1. Pick a cultural authority frame nobody in your niche is running. Native American. Amish. Aboriginal. Bedouin. Cossack. Any culture with survival wisdom the audience recognizes as trustworthy. Step 2. Build an AI character that carries the cultural signal. Native American elder. Amish craftsman. Aboriginal grandmother. The character does not need to speak the language. It needs to look the part. Step 3. Same title formula every video. "The Native Way to X." "The Amish Secret to Y." "The Japanese Method for Z." Step 4. Attach a $47 ebook from video 3. Package the wisdom the character represents. Step 5. Same 18 to 20 minute video length. Older Tier 1 audience watches start to finish. Step 6. Ship 3 videos a week. Ride the first 5x outlier the moment it hits. The window is closing on Amish. Native American is wide open. Aboriginal is wide open. Nordic is barely started. Pick a cultural frame. Build the character. Ship 15 videos in 30 days.

慧音-知识和历史的半兽 (@Necokeine) reported@AsafNadler @nasdaily Chinese who really cares privacy are using American softwares, because they know that Chinese government can't force Google/Meta to hand over user data. Then the problem, what do you think is easier for U.S government, ask Google for gmail data or ask Bytedance China for lark data?

Common Man (@smartashu06) reported@Naveenjaat855 @BGMI_Official You have to download older version of it for example 12.7.0. Download the apk file. Then login to twitter on this old version. After that you will be able to login to BGMI. Once you login to BGMI, kindly make sure to link with gmail account. Thanks

Paweł Huryn (@PawelHuryn) reportedI gave a Claude artifact write access to my Gmail. The permission box said one word: Gmail. This launch says the apps "take actions for each viewer." I built one to see what that means. It declared two Gmail tools: one that reads your threads, one that creates drafts in your account. The approval screen doesn't tell you which is which. It names the connector, never the actions. Reading your mail and writing to it show the same checkbox and the same line: "only continue if you trust this app." The rest is genuinely locked down. The page never sees your login, it can only call the tools it declared, and it can't be shared publicly. That leaves one real control: "trust this app." The screen gives you no way to judge whether you should. You're not approving Gmail. You're approving whatever the app can do with it.

Roger (@zroger73) reported@brandenflasch I am forced to use Windows at work, which is bad enough. For years, we used Gmail, which I accessed using a browser. Last week, we switched to Outlook. It's DISGUSTING. My productivity has plummeted and my error rate has skyrocketed. I can't believe people actually use this junk.

James (@jamescoder12) reportedFirst why most inboxes are a disaster. It's not your fault. Gmail defaults every account to one setting: all emails arrive in one flat list. No categories. No priority. No filtering. Everything from your most important client to a promotional email from a store you bought shoes from in 2019 lands in the same stream. The average professional receives 85+ emails per day. Over a year, that's 22,000+ messages arriving in one undifferentiated pile. Gmail has 15+ organizational tools built in. Labels. Filters. Stars. Categories. Multiple Inboxes. Priority Inbox. Nudges. Snooze. Auto-advance. All of them are turned off or unconfigured by default. The coach's framework: "Gmail isn't broken. It's unconfigured. The difference between email chaos and email clarity is 20 minutes in Settings. Once. The system runs itself after that."

Indulgence82 (@Indulgence82) reportedBit of a rant. This is not actually true. There is no reasonable way anymore as a functioning user of the internet to prevent an image to going into AI. If it’s transferred online it’s in an AI in fact congrats you’ve broken and nullified your own terms. Have windows or a mac… it’s been scanned. Transferred over discord? Scanned. Emailed? Likely scanned by both email accounts (especially google with gmail). Did you post it literally anywhere publically online? If another user can see it so can an AI. It’s also been through both your ISPs don’t think they won’t also sell your data. Next, copyright ownership is implied when you are purchasing especially if you are a ‘work for hire’. But let’s table that because it’s a difference of opinion and many judges and lawyers would give you differing stances on this. So let’s move onto legal enforcement, you can’t stop the person from using the model and there is no damages for a financal lawsuit. Without actual enforcement none of this matters. But let’s pretend you all brigade the vtuber and kill their channel, whelp you will lose your career cuz nobody is hiring your *** again. Also now on top of that they have a nice little lawsuit for you with damages because there is provable financial damages since they can project the money off his or her earnings. Lastly the obvious… you are making everyone’s point. This is why people are using AI in the first place. You are being an insufferable sub-human rat who can’t simply get along and be normal. You can’t just be low maitenance and get the commission done quickly and without strings attached and start a healthy transactional relationship with your customers. They are coming to you in good faith and you are looking for ways to screw them over your own brain worms. You instead try to control the situation from the person you are getting payment from which you should feel indebted to because they are giving you an opportunity. If you are more effort than the alternative (which is free btw) then you are not getting hired. You are not entitled to anyone’s money and we are not forced to deal with you. What you offer isn’t so impressive that you can make any demands. To artists, if you love art then shut up, hone your craft, have fun. Draw what you hired to draw, and if you don’t like the commission don’t take it. Don’t cause problems or make demands. If you deviate from this, you get nothing and deserve nothing. But if you get along with nearly everyone else people will want to hire you because many of your fellow artists are this level of insufferable.

BIAST Archives (@BIASTArchives) reported@Lx1mz @hexie_real Uhh, the only reason we are looking at the discord server is because.. we don't get archives via our gmail or whatever.. We still need archives.

Idowu Olumini (@Kolexeneration) reported@SmileComsNGCare I have sent an email to customer service to update my email from Yahoo to gmail due to network glitch & unable to send activation code to yahoo email. I have been following up with different reminder email from last week & there was no reply. So disheartening.

Xah Lee (@xah_lee) reportedthe ugly web dev history, frontend. I was ignorant of JavaScript and frontend tech, from 1999 to 2010. am a web backend dev in 1998. back then, professional programers sneer JavaScript (and php). except, those big corp actually need to use it sans choice, such as gmail, google map, amazon, ebay. (the need to update page sans reloading the whole page.) Only when Node.js in 2009 By Ryan Dahl, changed things. It introduced the async, which puzzled and derided by most programers. (async, a pain in the ***. One of the worst thing in programing language history, still so today, even with latest await etc. Reason is because js is single threaded. Async is a pretend fix on this concurrency issue.) In 2010 js did not have a library system. (nor did php, scheme lisp, for the first 10 years of their life. emacs lisp has no module/namespace to this day.) Commonjs and amdjs module system mess got introduced in the wild. A very complicated mess, which created concepts like bundlers (browserify, webpack), code repo and package manager (bower, npm), task runners (gulp). npm is a corp greed, designed so that 1 line code is considered a lib, to promote its popularity. Then in 2015, js finally had some basic features, such as real local scoped variable (let), real dictionary/hashtable/map data structure. but for reason, the JavaScript committee refused a “use new js”. (google chrome dev got stunk by a “use strict”.) So, one thousands warts of js, stays in js. (such as var, use strict, string is utf16 and all methods cant deal with emoji, no real array masking as magical object with magical length. etc.) JavaScript landscape, is really 30 years of **** pile due to a in-10-days mistake. But cpp is worse.

Naman Rohandiya (@NamanRohandiya) reportedEvery company has a second brain. The problem is it's scattered across Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, docs, and hundreds of conversations. We're building Octopus to unify it. Connect your tools, ask anything, and get answers backed by citations.
