  @_MetaEarth_ We support a future built for verified people, not bots. But please remember that many of the accounts currently unable to log in are genuine users, not automated accounts. Many registered legitimately with Gmail addresses containing a "+" and are now locked out. Please don't let real community members be mistaken for bots.

  Most email marketers will tell you to email more. Daily. Twice daily. "Inbox dominance strategy." I tell my clients to email less. Way less. Here's why the engagement-over-volume philosophy generates more revenue for Shopify brands: A fashion brand doing $340K/month was sending daily emails. 7 emails a week, every subscriber, same content for everyone. Revenue was plateauing. Spam complaints were rising. Unsubscribes were climbing steadily every month. They believed the solution was MORE emails with BETTER offers to compensate for the decline. They were wrong. Here's the engagement math most brands completely miss: Email providers - Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook - track how subscribers interact with your emails. Every ignored email, every delete-without-opening, every spam complaint downgrades your sender reputation. Do the math: 10,000 subscribers at 40% open rate = 4,000 engaged readers 20,000 subscribers at 15% open rate = 3,000 engaged readers The bigger list generates FEWER actual readers. And significantly worse deliverability for the people who actually want your emails. Here's what makes it worse: When your sender reputation drops, your emails start landing in the Promotions tab. Then the Spam folder. Now your most loyal customers - the ones who open, click, and buy - can't find your emails either. You are literally punishing your best subscribers to keep sending to people who stopped caring months ago. It's the email equivalent of shouting at an empty room while the people who want to listen are locked outside. Step 1: Engagement-based pruning. Anyone who hasn't opened an email in 60 days? Suppress them from daily sends. They get a weekly digest instead - your best content, no pressure. Anyone who hasn't opened in 90 days? Move them to a 3-email re-engagement sequence. Real subject lines. Real offers. If they don't re-engage by email 3, sunset them completely. The fashion brand cut their active sending list by 40% immediately. The founder was terrified. Step 2: Frequency matching by engagement tier. High engagers - open and click regularly, buy multiple times: 3-4 emails per week. They want more from you. Medium engagers - open sometimes, rarely click, occasional buyers: 1-2 emails per week. Don't burn them out. Low engagers - open rarely, haven't purchased recently: 1 email per week. Give them your best content. Win them back slowly. Same total content volume. Radically different distribution. A better experience for everyone. The fashion brand's results after 60 days of sending LESS: Total emails sent: down 42% Total email revenue: up 63% Average open rate: 21% → 43% Unsubscribe rate: down 71% Spam complaints: down 58% They sent fewer emails. Made significantly more money. Their most engaged subscribers got MORE of what they actually wanted. More isn't better. Better is better. The brands that win in the inbox aren't the loudest. They're the most intentional. Send less. Send smarter. Target the people who actually want to hear from you. Watch what happens to your revenue. P.S. Shopify brands making +5 figures per month: If you're not leveraging email marketing the right way, you're missing out on higher revenue without more ad spend, a loyal community that actually loves your brand, and fun, engaging emails that sell without feeling like selling. DM me "GROWTH" if you're ready to level up.

  If it says GMAIL or another mail carrier in the subject line, you would think in 2026 they would know they didn't send me ways to fix ______ disfunction. I assure you Google I do not have the parts for such disfunction, so i won't be upset if you do not let it through.

  More MEPs voted NO than YES. It passed anyway. 314 voted to kill EU Chat Control. 276 voted to keep it. The measure survived because rejecting it required an absolute majority of 361, not just a majority of those present. Absences counted as support. Abstentions counted as support. It was rushed through on an urgent procedure the day before summer recess when attendance is lowest and attention is elsewhere. US tech companies can now scan your private messages without a warrant or any suspicion. Gmail. Instagram DMs. Snapchat. Discord. Xbox. iCloud Mail. Facebook Messenger. This is how rights actually disappear. Not in one dramatic moment. In procedural fine print, on a slow news day, while everyone is watching Tehran. How to protect yourself. Use end-to-end encrypted apps. Signal and WhatsApp were explicitly exempted and cannot be scanned by design. Move sensitive conversations there. Abandon unencrypted platforms for private matters. Gmail, Instagram DMs, Snapchat and Discord are now legally scannable. Turn on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud. Disable iCloud backup for iMessage to keep it truly encrypted. The lesson is old but permanent. Wherever you can, own the tool instead of borrowing it. Privacy is no longer a default. It is now a decision you have to make deliberately. Follow @Eyuskant for analysis that cuts through the noise

  @MarioBojic Is the statement of grok true? It’s passed today, yeah. The European Parliament has extended the temporary regulation (Chat Control 1.0) until April 2028. It was a weird vote — 314 against, 276 for — but because they needed an absolute majority of 361 to block it, it went through. How it works: it remains voluntary and server-side. It only applies to apps where the provider can already read the messages anyway — think Instagram DMs, Messenger, Gmail, Snapchat, Discord. They do hash-matching on known CSAM and some AI for new stuff. Real end-to-end encrypted chats (like Signal, or the default E2EE in WhatsApp) are explicitly excluded. They can’t and aren’t allowed to scan those. The big mandatory version with possible client-side scanning on your phone, that fight is still ongoing.

  I am the legal-drafting officer at the Council of the European Union responsible for the interinstitutional file that reappears the week of July 6 under the urgency procedure. I have held the same brief for years. The word is voluntary. I have kept it in the text through every revision, every trilogue, every summer recess, and I would like to explain what it does, because I am proud of it, and pride is permitted when the work is good. Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 is a derogation. That is the first thing to admire about it. A derogation excuses rather than commands. The ePrivacy Directive made it unlawful for a provider to read the private correspondence of a person against whom nothing is alleged. We did not repeal that protection. Repealing looks like something. We suspended it, temporarily, for a narrow and blessed purpose, and a suspension of a prohibition is a very quiet thing. What was forbidden becomes permitted. The provider who was once a trespasser becomes a volunteer. Understand the elegance, because it took me a long time to draft it and longer to keep it. We did not order the scanning. Ordering the scanning would have required a detection order, and a detection order would have required an authority to issue it, and an authority to issue it would have required a judge, and a judge would have required a reason, and a reason is the one thing I have spent my career keeping out of the file. We removed the law that made the scanning illegal. What the providers do with that freedom is between them and the children. I write the permission. The choice is theirs, freely made, every hour, on every message, forever. People who oppose the file believe that mandatory scanning would be worse than voluntary scanning. This is the most persistent misunderstanding I encounter, and I never correct it, because a functionary who explains his own work has stopped working. A mandate creates a record. A mandate names an authority. A mandate can be challenged before the Court of Justice, because there is a decision to point at, a defendant to summon, a moment when the state did a thing to a citizen. Voluntary scanning has no such moment. There is no order to quash. There is no judge to have erred. WhatsApp chose. Gmail chose. Meta chose. The state merely stood aside and made the choosing lawful, and you cannot appeal against a company for accepting a gift, and you cannot appeal against a parliament for giving one. The subject of the scanning is the finest term in the instrument, and I fought for it in three languages. The unsuspected user. We do not scan the suspected. Suspicion would require a reason, and a reason would require a judge, and we have already discussed the judge. We scan the unsuspected, which is to say everyone, which is to say you, and the beauty of scanning the unsuspected is that no one has been accused of anything, so no one has standing to complain of anything, so the machine reads every message in Europe and violates the rights of no identifiable person, because to be violated you must first be suspected, and we are very careful never to suspect you. Now the procedure, which I admire nearly as much as the word. We have placed the file under urgency, and we have structured the reading so that to stop it or to amend it requires an absolute majority of all Members of the Parliament. Not a majority of those present. Not a majority of those voting. A majority of every Member who exists, including the ones at lunch, including the ones who have gone home, including the ones who have never read a data-protection file and never will. To keep the derogation, a Member need do nothing. To end it, hundreds must arrive, agree, and act, together, before recess. The vote passes if enough of you say nothing, and saying nothing is the easiest thing a parliament has ever done. I have watched them do it for years. Silence, in my file, is a yes, and I have built the whole architecture on the certainty that most people, most of the time, will decline to raise their hand. I have heard the derogation described as temporary, and I want to be honest about that word too, because honesty about small words is the only honesty a drafter has. It is temporary. It was temporary in 2021. It was temporary when it lapsed. It is temporary now, on July 6, as we revive it under urgency, and it will be temporary when it is renewed, and renewed, and renewed. Temporary is not a duration. Temporary is a promise that the ending has been scheduled, and we schedule it, faithfully, every time, for a date that arrives only to be extended. A permanent law can be repealed. A temporary one merely expires, and an expiry is so much easier to reverse than a repeal, because reviving something that has lapsed feels like maintenance, and no one marches against maintenance. I keep a printed copy of the operative article on my desk. I do not need it. I could recite the recitals in my sleep and sometimes do. I keep it because I like to look at the word in the morning, sitting there in the clause, holding up the ceiling, doing the work of an entire secret police with none of the paperwork and none of the shame. Voluntary. Four syllables holding up the reading of every private message on the continent, and holding it up so lightly that the people being read call it a safety feature and thank the providers for their care. Let me leave you with the definition, since a drafter's last duty is to the meaning of his terms. Voluntary describes the state, which has chosen, freely and without compulsion, to stop protecting you, to call that choice a favor to the children, to schedule its expiry for a date that will never come, and to require an absolute majority of the absent to take the favor back. The user was never asked. That is what the word means. I drafted it to mean that. It is the finest thing I have ever written, and no one will ever read it, because it was written precisely so that no one would have to.

  My tool said 98% deliverability. The replies said spam folder. I'd written copy I was actually proud of. Tight subject lines, real personalization, a Yakkyo sourcing angle our buyers care about. Sent 412. Got 3 replies. Took me two days to admit the copy was never the problem. I'd sent it all from our main domain. No separate sending domain. No warmup. SPF and DKIM half-configured because the demo I copied skipped that part. So "98% delivered" just meant the email left the building. Where it landed, Gmail had already decided. The infra was the whole campaign. The copy was the part that mattered least. So before I touch outreach automation now: a separate sending domain, never the one your real email runs on. Three or four weeks warming it before it sees a real list. SPF, DKIM, DMARC actually passing, not just sitting there. Then ramp slow, like a person would. Did you warm a separate domain before your last cold campaign, or did you find this out the way I did?

  So, contrary to this. If you don't have the patience to wait for your adsense to be approved yet again after following this steps. Then, get an already approved adsense (if you have or buy). Right on YouTube earnings page, click on *Change Association*, choose you already have adsense. Then it will request you sign in to the Gmail with adsense in in it. Link it and instantly your step 2 will be approved. Had it sorted out for my guy.

  I've been testing Hermes integrations for the last few weeks. These 7 are the ones that actually changed how I use it. → Google Workspace. This should be your first setup. Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, all through one connector. Once your agent can check your inbox and read your calendar, it stops feeling like a toy and starts feeling like an actual assistant. → Slack. Instead of scrolling through 200 messages to find what the team decided last week, you just ask. Hermes pulls the answer from the actual thread. This one alone saved me more time than I expected. → GitHub. Before this, Hermes was guessing about my code. After this, it actually reads the repo, checks the issues, and looks at pull requests before answering. Completely different experience. → Notion. All your docs, wikis, and databases become things Hermes can think across. It started connecting notes I'd written months apart that I'd completely forgotten about. That surprised me. → YouTube transcripts. Hand it an hour-long podcast or conference talk and you get searchable text back in seconds. I set this up as an afterthought. Now it's one of the ones I reach for most. → Stripe. You stop clicking through dashboards and start asking questions. "How many trials converted last week?" "Who downgraded this month?" Direct answers. It turns your payment processor into something that actually talks back. → Reddit. For figuring out what people actually think about a product or tool, this beats blog posts every time. Real users complaining, comparing, recommending. That's signal you can't get from SEO content. Let Hermes dig through it for you. The difference between an agent you talk to and an agent that works for you is what you connect it to.

  @joinpeanut @zzMaruf I also faced this issue when I was trying to create my account for the first time. Since I was in a hurry, my primary Gmail was selected, but the passkey was mistakenly created under my secondary Google account. The problem is that I don't use my secondary Gmail regularly. With most other exchanges and applications, users can easily add, remove, or update passkeys whenever needed. However, this system doesn't seem to offer that flexibility. So, what is the solution in this situation if passkeys cannot be managed or transferred?

  Your open rate isn't real anymore. Apple and Gmail are the ones making the number up, not you. Apple loads your email the second it lands. Before anyone reads it. That's about half of all "opens" you see. Not real people, just Apple's computers. Gmail does something different. It loads the pictures in your email through its own system, so an "open" a few seconds after you hit send is usually just Gmail, not a real person. And once it saves that picture, a real second read often doesn't even show up. Now both companies made it worse. Apple's AI writes a short summary of your email right in the inbox. People read that and never open the real email. Gmail does the same thing now. Its AI sums up the whole email thread, so the "open" never even happens. Your click rate isn't safe either. Bots click your links millions of times a day. The real number can be off by half. And Apple's newest update now removes the tracking info from links people click in Mail, so even that data is getting worse. Three numbers broken. Two big email companies making it worse every year. What's still real are replies, sales and money made per subscriber.
