DWE Post (@dwepost) reportedFor the past 2 months, I haven’t been able to reach any Google service. My problem has gotten worse, everything has been hacked, and the recovery forms don’t work. It’s really a shame. @googleaccount @gmail @Google

Shraddha Bharuka (@BharukaShraddha) reported4. Third-Party App Leeches (The OAuth Backdoor) The Situation: For over a decade, you’ve been clicking that convenient "Sign in with Google" button to access random PDF editors, personality quizzes, mobile games, and budget trackers. You traded access to your Google account to save 30 seconds of typing a new password. The Mechanics: Many of those apps requested OAuth permissions to "Read, Compose, Send, and Permanently Delete all your email from Gmail." You clicked "Allow" without reading. Even if you deleted the app from your phone five years ago, the developer's server still maintains a permanent, open backdoor into your inbox. Shady developers frequently sell these dormant apps to malicious actors who use those permissions to quietly scrape your inbox for receipts, bank names, and contacts. The Fix: Go to your Google Account > Security > Third-party apps with account access. Click on "Manage third-party access." You will be horrified by the graveyard of forgotten apps. Revoke access to absolutely everything that isn't a highly trusted, daily-use application. Slam the backdoor shut.

Simonas (@SimonasLTU1) reported@jacalulu I would say it often hallucinates about stuff that it can do, but says otherwise. It's pretty common for me to ask it 3 times that it can use/watch Youtube for example, or to do a freaking Google search.. Or check my Gmail.. This is the main problem I'd say

Harish PS (@cmyharish) reportedGmail isn't punishing you when this happens. It's categorising you accurately. The fix: alternate formats deliberately. → Week A: Image-rich promotional email — sale, product launch, urgency-driven CTA

Arthur verboon (@ArthurVerboon) reported@svnee 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.

Jimmy Q (@Jimmyq_startup) reported[Fixed] Domain verification for Gmail (Cloudflare) TDLR: Expected ~10 min setup took days; found a bug in Gmail domain verification and a workaround. 1. Initially, Cloudflare's direct verification was used in Google, and it added the TXT "Google-site..." in DNS. Nothing else was prompted. Waited a long time, no update. 2. Fix: went to manual verification and saw that I also have to add a CNAME in DNS. After that, hit finish and - Viola! - domain verified. #gmail #indiedev

Shraddha Bharuka (@BharukaShraddha) reported1. The Newsletter Graveyard The Situation: You signed up for a 15% discount code from a trendy mattress company back in 2019. You bought the bed, ignored the emails, and never clicked unsubscribe. What you didn't read in their privacy policy was the clause allowing them to "share data with trusted third-party partners." Fast forward to today, and that single company has legally sold your email to 47 different data brokers, who then sold it to hundreds of affiliate marketers. The Mechanics: Every dormant newsletter in your inbox is a live wire. As long as you are on their list, your data is being refreshed in their CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software, marking your email as an active, deliverable address. The Fix: You need to aggressively audit the graveyard. In your Gmail search bar, type "unsubscribe". You will likely find over 200 active subscriptions you forgot existed. Do not just delete the emails, open them and kill the subscriptions at the source. Each one you sever closes a pipeline that is actively feeding your digital identity to data aggregators.

SnittyKitty (@_SnittyKitty_) reported@JCandLacie @AppleSupport I have this issue with one of my Gmail accounts. It still has a phone number from 10+ years ago. I called it & someone else now owns the number. I can’t reset my password bc Google will only send the verification code to that old number. Other options of recovery not available.

Sai Ishaya (@Sai_Ishaya_) reportedYou can add YouTube’s entire global video/audio archive, Google Workspace (Docs/Gmail), and the legacy of DeepMind to this list. They literally wrote the foundational paper on LLM architecture. On paper, Google shouldn't just be leading the AI race; they should have ended it three years ago. But having all the data in the world doesn't translate to having the best LLM. Google is suffering from the exact same structural rot as Xerox in the 1970s. Xerox PARC literally invented the modern PC, the graphical interface, & the mouse. But b/c Xerox was structurally obsessed with selling photocopiers, it let Apple & Microsoft walk in & steal the future. Google isn't losing the AI race on tech; they're losing to their own bureaucracy. They are a search engine and ads giant. A perfect AI gives you the exact answer immediately, which kills the Search links that print their money. They're terrified of cannibalising their own cash cow. They also have a PR paralysis and a bureaucracy overload problem. OpenAI operates like a ruthless product factory; Google acts like an academic lab terrified of a PR mistake tanking its stock. They have the best engineers on earth trapped in endless safety committees instead of just shipping a product.

Royal_Stray (@StrayRoyal) reported@TouhouEnjoyer_ I think it depends on how you're being "hit on" if it's a simple "can I get your number/gmail" and leaving it at that, I don't see much reason to complain. But if it's the kind of "hit on" where someone was folloing them around for a while and wouldn't stop that's an an issue.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedGoogle just made three paid features free in one update. Most people scrolled right past it. Here's what actually changed: ✔ Personalized AI image generation pulled from your Gmail, Photos, and Search — is now free for US users (was locked behind a paid plan). ✔ A new fast image model is rolling into the Gemini app, Search, Photos, and NotebookLM at once. ✔ A brand-new video tool lets you edit clips using plain language instead of software, no timeline required. ✔ Students 18+ in Indonesia, Japan, the UK, and Brazil get a free Gemini upgrade through July. ✔ Camera-to-image generation is now live globally on Android and iOS. Free tiers used to mean "watered down." Not anymore. Save this. You'll know exactly which Gemini features cost nothing before your feed catches up. Want the SOP? DM me.
