    Built something that's been quietly saving me every morning. An automation that reads my inbox before I do. I work with a US client, which means most bug reports and issues land in my email overnight, while I'm asleep. Used to mean waking up, opening Gmail, reading through everything, mentally triaging what's actually broken before I'd even had coffee. Now an @evedev_ agent connected to my Gmail runs at 8am. Goes through the night's emails, pulls out anything that's actually a reported issue or bug, and posts it into a Slack channel. From there it hands off. Another @cursor_ai agent sitting in that same Slack channel picks up what got posted, and it has access to my GitHub repo. It checks the reported issue against logs, traces it back to the actual code, debugs it, and writes up what it found. By the time I open my laptop, there's a full report waiting: what broke, where, and what the fix looks like. I've only given it read access everywhere. Not because it hasn't been reliable, it has, but because I still want to be the one reviewing and merging anything that touches the codebase. The automation does the investigating, I still make the call. Works better than I expected it to.

    @TeamYouTube I need help escalating an AdSense for YouTube account access issue. I run a YPP channel with 1M+ subscribers and cannot access the linked AdSense account because Google is rejecting the sign-in (its an old non gmail login). I've already submitted the available recovery form without a response. YouTube Help chat isn't available in the UK. Can you help me reach Creator Support??? Thank you

    Sidejacking for the next generation. "Sidejacking" was the thing I demonstrated 20 years ago at Black Hat. Back then, websites use slow SSL for authentication, so hackers couldn't steal your password, but then generated a temporary cookie to access the website via HTTP (without SSL). You could then sit in a coffee shop, copy the auth token from HTTP and replay it, and hijack somebody's GMail session. Which I did on stage at BlackHat, hijacking an audience member's GMail session. Websites like Google quickly moved to all SSL all the time, though the transition period took a couple years, because it's a significant investment in server hardware. In the meanwhile, another guy created an even easier-to-use tool based on mine called 'Firesheep' that kids caused havoc with for several years, such as hacking into celebrity email accounts next to them at Starbucks and other open wifi. Fun times, but its the same principle here were apparently non-admin users can read the event logs on the system and see admin credentials, like when an admin remotely logs into your system.

    @cigarettesummer Google apps for office is absolutely terrible, including gmail. That e-mail service has no aesthetic whatsoever. I hate it. It's confuse. Apple has great apps, like the calendar, which is the greatest of them all, but nothing beats microsoft 365 — although there are a lot of softwares on that package that I have no idea how to use it. If I was them I would purchase adobe, which is also phenomenal. But I really want to sue Microsoft, because they deleted all of my pictures on OneDrive, it was all of my Instagram art that I used to save it there since META didn't allowed it to archive it back in the day. When it comes to cloud services, Apple is the best, although it can always become better.

    your youtube trust score might be killing your channel’s views and you don’t even know about it… there’s no place to check it, but it exists you've seen it happen. a creator posts 20 genuinely good videos. zero traction. under 100 impressions on all of them. they assume they're bad at this, burn out, and quit. the content was fine, and the channel was flagged before their first upload even went live. let me break down exactly how this works and the $0 fix... when you create a new youtube channel, the system evaluates a set of signals to classify whether you're a real creator or a bot farm. fresh gmail + instant uploads + 0 viewing history + no subscriber activity = the exact fingerprint of the spam channels youtube kills every day so the system treats you the same way. your reach gets throttled before you've begun. i've watched this wreck dozens of channels in the facelessOS community before we figured out the pattern. a creator sets up a new gmail, creates a channel, uploads 5 videos in the first week, and wonders why their impressions are in the single digits. they think their thumbnails need work. their hooks need work. their niche selection was wrong. the real cause sat elsewhere: the channel was classified as low-trust on day one. and once you're locked in what people are calling "0 view jail," the algorithm withholds enough initial impressions to even TEST whether your videos are good. you're uploading into a void. the protocol fixing this costs nothing and takes 7 days. step 1: use a gmail you've had for months. an aged, real email with search history, youtube watch history, subscriptions, normal activity. this single change shifts how youtube classifies the account from the start. aged gmails signal "real human." fresh gmails signal "potential spam." step 2: spend 7 days as a viewer before you upload anything. watch full videos in your niche. complete watch-throughs rather than 30-second clicks. subscribe to 10-15 channels in your space. leave a few real comments. like videos. build a viewing profile that matches the audience you want to attract. this sounds dumb. it's the highest-leverage 7 days you'll ever spend on a channel. the system now has evidence you're a real person with real interests in the niche you're about to create content for. that reads completely differently to "anonymous account uploaded 5 videos about true crime yesterday." step 3: verify your identity. enable feature eligibility in your youtube settings. this requires a government ID and phone number. i know some faceless creators hate this because they want full anonymity. the tradeoff is the algorithm treating you like a verified human instead of an unknown entity. every creator in our network who verified saw an immediate increase in initial impression allocation. step 4: upload cadence matters MORE than upload volume. the channels that escape 0 view jail the fastest upload 2-3 videos in their first week with 48-72 hours between uploads, well away from 5 videos on day one. consistent spacing signals "real creator." mass uploads signal "bot farm." youtube's system is pattern-matching your behaviour against known spam patterns, and spam channels dump content fast. step 5: your first 3 videos are an audition. youtube tests new channels by sampling a small audience. if those first 3 videos get decent retention (above 40%) and positive engagement, the system escalates your trust and your next uploads get shown to a bigger initial pool. if your first 3 videos get 10% retention because the scripts were weak, the system downgrades you and your next uploads get an even smaller test audience. it's a compounding loop in both directions. this is why i keep saying the script carries everything. especially for new channels, the first 3 scripts need to be ENGINEERED for retention. they set the trust score for every video that comes after. the channels in our network running scripts built on retention data from 8,000+ proven scripts skip the 0 view jail entirely. their first videos get tested on meaningful audience sizes because the retention signals tell the algorithm "this channel is worth pushing." DM me "FACELESSOS" if you wanna access the AI scriptwriting system that applies this to your niche haris

    Forgot to put this into my video about how @Google is destroying the way I make a living (see previous post)....but this was the 'helpful' advice I got directly from The Google Support Team recently: "Unfortunately the process is automated and we have no input on it. We cannot influence it in any way and there is no escalation path to take to resolve this on our end manually, your only option is to wait and try again." So let's break this down: @Google falsely suspends my Gmail account that I've used with my YouTube channel's AdSense for almost 10 years, claiming it was "created by a bot". I appeal, win the appeal, restore my account...then because of this same error, it's suspended again. Then, because of a glitch they have admitted to being aware of, one that countless others are forced into, I'm locked out the account so I can't even appeal again. Every day this is causing financial devastation to the way I make a living, using THEIR faulty service, but they offer no way to resolve it other than "wait and try again". This has been going on for over a month...how much longer, @Google, would you like me to wait? FIX THIS!

    I looked inside an email list with 125,000 people on it. Only about 20,700 had opened anything in the last 30 days. So roughly 75% of the list was dead weight. And it was doing real harm. Every time you email people who never open, the inbox providers notice. Gmail especially. Your sender reputation drops, and then the people who actually want your emails start seeing them land in spam or promotions instead of the inbox. A bigger list feels safer. A list stuffed with people who ignore you makes your best campaigns invisible. The fix is boring and it works. Stop emailing anyone who's gone quiet for 120 days. Run one win-back campaign to try to wake them. Let the rest go. I've watched brands brag about a 100,000-person list while their open rate quietly bled out. The two are connected. Size without engagement is the thing dragging you down. Gmail decides where you land based on how real people treat your mail. Send to 100,000 and have 5,000 open, and you look like a spammer. Send to 20,000 and have 10,000 open, and you look like someone people want to hear from. Same brand, very different inbox. You're not shrinking the list to be tidy. You're protecting the deliverability of every email you send to the people who still care.

    Ok, has anyone had trouble logging into Twitter from the main page? The "sign in with Google" button isn't registering as a button. You can use the X sign-in, the Apple sign-in, or the "other" sign-in, but the Google sign-in is just a graphic. It's like the code that says it's a button is broken. But I can still use the "other" option to type in my Gmail address and sign in.

    I have been using Grok Bot @bot a lot - 42% of my weekly usage. Here's what I like and don't like so far Things I like: 1. Having agents without needing a Mac Mini or whatever for Hermes or OpenClaw. Being able to talk to the agents from my phone and my laptop and not being tied to one of my own devices 2. It just works (mostly! sorta!) 3. The "pick an option for what I should do" is the correct upgrade for chat bot interface (I loved doing that with my OpenClaw bot on Telegram) There's a lot more that I like: I assigned it a task to help me write a job description for something, and while searching my email for something else, it found a very relevant (and not something I asked for) other email thread - which it incorporated into my results, and that was excellent and appreciated and what I'd expect of a human assistant Things I don't like: 1. My Gmail connector via the MCP kept having issues. Eg: If I tried to write an email with a URL, it replaced the URL with a Google redirect link to that URL fix -- I forced my agents to use Gmail's API and sent them a token for auth 2. The agents are not proactive enough on long-running tasks. For example, I asked my email agent to check my Inbox for receipts every 15 minutes during the work day; it has been over an hour and I haven't heard back from that agent fix -- people say to to "Reset Grok Bot's computer" but I was afraid to do that. But an XAI employee just told me it is safe, and also will be fixed later today, so I am restarting it now 3. The agents get overwhelmed with multiple tasks in thread. The agent gravitates towards the last task mentioned- and not iteratively cranking through and/or following up on multiple items that were discussed example -- Hey, so I'm thinking about X and I want to do this... and then also on XX I want to do this... by the way, what happened to XXX? -- and then it will only action on XXX item 4. The select button options for responses could be improved. I'd love to see multiple-choice options, for example. I think Claude, specifically Claude Design, has really nailed the AskUserQuestion tool and I'd love to see more of that in Grok Bot 5. Web browser tasks are sometimes painfully slow. I made an agent to order french fries from the hamburger place next to my office, and it takes a solid 3-4 minutes for the agent to click through fix -- I tried making a CLI tool using Printing Press and it partially works, except for auth, so I spent about 35 minutes to shave off 2 minutes of order time (lol) Overall: I haven't used my OpenClaw in months and it is has been nice to get back into the agents world with Grok Bot. I will continue playing with it! I am sure the product will keep getting better For now it is not a silver bullet. But it is insanely easy to set up and get started

    @StanleyMasinde_ I know what *** is. I used to work at GitLab. *** SaaS gives you a lot of features that improve productivity of your dev team. Code review, CI/CD, issues, code review, SSO integration. A *** bare repo mostly works for people in research, open source, soloists, government security agencies too. Not for serious commercial applications. You are confusing a business argument for a technology one. A company's primary responsibility is making money. And most do this by focusing on the customer solution they provide. There are always more features to build, bugs to fix and business insights to provide. This is why they don't build an email system but rather use SAAS options like Gmail, Zoho e.t.c. Because this is not their business. Same way, Github, GitLab, Bitbucket etc exist for managing repositories in an efficient manner.

    How to create an agent access review schedule. The periodic audit that catches permission creep before it becomes a liability. Permissions accumulate. You gave your agent Gmail access for one task three months ago. You never revoked it. Now it has access to every email you've received since. The review schedule: 🔵 Weekly: check your agent's audit log for any access outside its defined scope. Flag anomalies. 🔵 Monthly: full permissions review. For every MCP server connection: is this still needed? Are the permissions still proportional? Revoke what's expired. 🔵 Quarterly: credential rotation across all agent-accessible services. No exceptions. 🔵 After every incident: immediate access review. What did the agent have access to? Was any of it unnecessary? The review takes 15 minutes weekly and 30 minutes monthly. The cost of not doing it is an ever-expanding attack surface you don't know you have.
