Seeby (@seeby) reportedMicrosoft is so ****. Pushing copilot on me but literally Outlook is so bad that when I search for an email I sent someone last week it doesn’t come up. I can see the email in my sent items, but MSFT can’t find it. Gmail doesn’t have these issues and it’s free vs expensive O365

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

Life Code (@69LifeCode) reported@enyola How many people can create an Apple ID themselves? Anyone can just login the Gmail and boom you are done with that. Music Side loading apps Android is easier

James (@jamescoder12) reportedThe uncomfortable truth: Gmail has 2 billion users. It's the most-used email platform on earth. Free. Powerful. Updated continuously by Google. And 95% of those 2 billion users have never opened Settings past the first page. They receive 85 emails a day in one flat list. They scroll. They miss things. They feel overwhelmed. They blame email itself "I hate email" when the problem was never email. It was configuration. Gmail ships unconfigured on purpose. A configured Gmail reduces time-on-platform. An unconfigured Gmail keeps you scrolling, clicking, searching, and spending 2 hours doing what 35 minutes could handle. Google measures engagement. Efficiency works against engagement. The productivity coach's last line: "I've organized 400+ inboxes. The pattern is always the same. The person is smart, successful, and drowning in email. They blame themselves 'I'm bad at email.' They're not. Gmail shipped them a race car with every setting on neutral. Nobody told them to shift gears. 9 settings. 20 minutes. The email problem you've had for 6 years solved in one afternoon. The inbox was never the problem. The defaults were." 12,847 unread emails. 20 minutes in Settings. 23 that needed attention. The Settings page has been there for 20 years. The features have been free since day one. The inbox you've been fighting was always one afternoon away from peace. Open Settings tonight. Change 9 things. The inbox finally works for you instead of against you.

99Gamers (@99Gamers99) reported@bridgemindai Google has shoved its model down everybody's gmail products. You gotta subscribe to hold your memory in gmail. They are not even trying to win the race. They are sitting at the finish line offering water to other players.

GoFakeYourselfMeghan (@GoFakeYourselfM) reported@BarkJack_ @AreYouFNKidding @Karancarte2289 I am glad to be back, too. I lost my old account to a glitch. Seriously...a freaking glitch. I had signed up with a gmail account. Then one day shortly after I made my way back to Megxit Twitter, X logged me out & when I signed in, I had clicked 'sign in with google' instead of typing in my email & password. That deleted my account and created a brand new one. There was nothing X could do they said.

Vic 🌮 (@VicVijayakumar) reportedCoding used to be the bottleneck and isn’t anymore so now there is a lot of brain power being spent at companies to play bottleneck whackamole while tokens are cheap. Problem: code review Multiple levels of automatic code review of AI written code doesn’t really increase trust, and AI code review still lacks the context behind WHY. So there’s all this effort to document everything by adding MCPs to every context store: jira, confluence, gmail, slack, zoom calls, google docs, whatever. The goal is to get to the first approve/reject recommendation before a human even looks at it. Problem: human time Human time is precious, your teams are overloaded, everyone is busy, and has their own brain split between 15 things, so let's intelligently @ people directly in public channels. Round robin it between reviewers, add leaderboards, daily reminders, and some public shaming. But wait. Someone says- can we just…skip human review? Problem: defect escape Whether or not we got a review from a human (rubberstamp or meticulous), we still need to prevent defect escape. Auto merge approved code to main which deploys to staging. Force it to bake on staging for X hours. Run every test suite against it (nothing new). Have adversarial agents use headless browsers to try and break your stuff. Should probably fix things too? Problem: blast radius This one isn’t new either. If you’re going to yeet out code that no human has looked at, you should probably reduce your blast radius with progressive deployments. Squeeze out a little bit, have an agent watch your error logs and dashboards, set a confidence threshold for rollback vs perseverance. Problem: incident triage If something breaks at 3am, unconnected to an ongoing deployment, you shouldn’t have to wait for a human. Have an agent triage the issue and link to relevant dashboards before the human can roll out of bed to get to their laptop. Problem: conflicts Your PR queue is a traffic jam. Agents will need to be constantly rebasing, resolving conflicts, and regenerating changes as main moves underneath them. Problem: trust boundaries How much rope can we give our agents? Under what conditions can we let yhem act without asking permission? Whose agent is going to be the first to screw up and leak PII? Gotta wrap it up, my toddler is waking up. What did I miss?

enes (@eneszyyl) reported@TeamYouTube Yes, it happens on all devices and browsers even after clearing cache. This is a server-side 2FA loop. I successfully receive and enter the SMS code on my recovery phone number, but Google then asks for a second code sent to the locked Gmail itself. Please escalate this.

BitcoinSafari /Education & Developers Program (@BitcoinSafariTZ) reported@bitlancework D. Tools that make sense to normal businesses Invoices in USD or EUR that settle in BTC. Automatic receipts. Project milestones. Time tracking. Fiat off-ramps so a freelancer can cash out to M-Pesa, bank transfer, or stablecoins if they want. The client never has to touch Bitcoin if they do not want to. They pay with card, Bitlance converts, freelancer receives BTC. The complexity is abstracted away. This is the key. Bitlance is not asking the world to become Bitcoiners overnight. It is meeting both sides where they are, and using Bitcoin to remove the expensive middlemen in the middle. 6. Real impact: who this helps most Let us get specific, because "financial inclusion" is an abstract phrase. The designer in East Africa She is world-class. Her portfolio is on Behance. But 80% of clients ghost her when they see she cannot take PayPal. On Bitlance, she can take a $300 branding project, get paid in BTC in 10 minutes, and convert half to shillings for rent and keep half in BTC as savings. Her income goes up and her costs go down. The US startup founder He needs a dev for 20 hours this month. He does not want to deal with contractors in 3 countries and 3 payment systems. He posts on Bitlance, pays with his company card, and knows the dev will get paid immediately when the milestone is approved. No wire forms. No FX fees. The writer in Argentina Local inflation is 50% a year. Getting paid in pesos means losing value while the client processes payment. Getting paid in USD is hard because of capital controls. Getting paid in Bitcoin means she is paid in a global asset she can hold or convert when she chooses. It is a hedge and a paycheck. The agency They have 12 freelancers across 8 countries. Managing payroll used to take a full day and $200 in fees. Now they fund one Bitlance wallet and pay everyone out of it. Reconciliation is one export. Everyone gets paid faster. 7. The objections, and the answers "But Bitcoin is volatile" True. That is why platforms like Bitlance offer instant conversion to stablecoins or local currency at withdrawal. You can choose to be paid in BTC and hold, or be paid in BTC and convert in 1 click. The point is you have the choice. The rails are Bitcoin even if the unit you spend is stable. "What about taxes?" Bitlance provides exportable reports with date, amount in BTC, and USD value at time of payment. It does not solve your local tax law, but it makes reporting 10x easier than trying to track wallet addresses manually. "What about scams?" Escrow and reputation. Same as any marketplace. The difference is that because the money is in escrow, not in a company bank account, even if Bitlance went down tomorrow, funds could still be released by 2 of the 3 keys. That is a safety net traditional platforms cannot offer. "Will clients actually use this?" They already do when it is easier and cheaper. Most clients do not care what the backend is. They care: can I post a job, find good people, pay with a card, and know the work will get done. Bitlance delivers that, and the backend just happens to be Bitcoin. 8. The bigger picture: this is about economic sovereignty When you get paid through a traditional platform, you are a tenant. The platform sets the rules, takes the cut, and can evict you. When you get paid in Bitcoin through a platform like Bitlance, you are a participant in an open network. Think of it like email. Gmail is a great email client, but no one owns email. If Gmail bans you, you can move to Proton and keep your address and contacts. We need that for work. Bitcoin is the open protocol for value. Bitlance is trying to be the open protocol for freelance work on top of it. Portfolios, reviews, and escrow history could eventually be portable. You would not be locked into one marketplace. That matters because the next 10 years of work will be more freelance, more remote, and more global. The payment infrastructure has to match.

peetzweg/ (@peetzweg) reported@heyandras I assume it’s the receiving mail server classifying it as spam? Maybe even the client? Would be viable to use to send mails to yourself if you unmark it as spam. Horrible using Gmail programmatically as it requires reauth every week.
-
Wander (@LilBoyWander) reported@kcwolfy_ @openshipio I’ve been down this road, many of us have. Email is tough to have self hosted. New IPs have zero reputation and often land in spam permanently with Gmail, Outlook, etc. You need perfect rDNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, slow warming, and constant monitoring…that’s the hidden cost of something like this. One slip and everything dies in spam. I do not suggest doing this unless you have the time and patience to make it work. @resend is my go-to, along with Coolify.

Shawn Kiser (@shawnlkiser) reportedChatGPT Work lets me help my aging mother remotely via computer use and plugins. It does administrative tasks and remote tech issues like when her printer wasn’t working after she got a new laptop. I repacked a driver for ARM that only existed on Linux. Document creation and email plugins to send via Gmail have saved me so much time managing admin stuff for everyone in my family!

Nick Puru (@NicholasPuru) reportedEVERYONE INSTALLING AI AGENTS IS SKIPPING THE ONLY STEP THAT MATTERS. They download the tool. They connect gmail, the calendar, the whole stack. Then they ask it to write something in their voice and it hands back generic slop. So they decide agents don't work. the tool was never the problem. you gave it access and called that training. access is not knowledge. an employee with your passwords and no onboarding is still useless on day one. Here's what changed when i actually sat mine down and taught it my business: → wrote a full client proposal off a real sales call transcript, then checked itself against the transcript so it couldn't invent anything → found 10 businesses matching our ICP, found the right contact at each, drafted all 10 emails into gmail while i slept → saved the proposal process as a reusable skill, so it never needs teaching twice → one typed sentence put a business brief on my phone at 7am, every day, forever free. open source. runs on my own laptop. never wrote a line of code. 🔖 bookmark this before you install another agent study this 👇

clayne (@0xclayn) reportedHE FIRED HIMSELF FROM THE BORING HALF OF HIS JOB Cost: one Mac mini. Already sitting there, doing nothing. He didn't hire anyone. He gave a computer one instruction and walked away. "Every Monday - check the inbox for new leads, pull their company info, draft a personal follow-up, put it on my calendar." That's it. That's the whole ask. The machine took it from there. Split it into steps. Assigned each step to a different model. ʼ Ran the whole thing without touching a single browser tab. Here's the part that actually matters: → Opus writes the email → Gemini does the research → GPT checks it against the CRM → three models, one outcome, zero copy-pasting between them It's not a chatbot answering questions in a window. It's living on the actual machine - opening real apps, editing real spreadsheets, touching real files, the way an employee would. He tested it on the most boring task he had: pull weekly revenue from QuickBooks, build the report, drop it in Slack. Every Monday, 8am, no reminders needed. An hour of work. Down to five minutes. Every single week, forever, without him remembering to do it. Outlook. Gmail. Teams. HubSpot. Whatever's already running - it just plugs in and gets the full picture, not a guess. A real hire for this costs a salary, a ramp-up, a desk. This cost a machine that was already collecting dust. Most people are still asking AI questions in a chat box. He gave it a job.
