  1. What Gmail's defaults are actually optimized for Gmail is free, and free means the defaults are built for the broadest possible audience doing the simplest possible thing — check inbox, read, reply, done. Nothing about the default setup expects eleven years of accumulation, aggressive marketing emails, or an inbox that's become the de facto filing cabinet for someone's entire financial and professional life. So everything lands in one pile unless you tell it not to. Storage silently fills because cleanup isn't automatic. Search works fine for last week's email and struggles the moment there are 40,000 of them. None of this is broken — it's just tuned for a mailbox six months old, not eleven years deep.

  How do you let Hermes agents use Gmail & Stripe without giving them API keys? A common setup is to put credentials in .env files. But Hermes agents read files, call tools, summarize logs, and debug errors. So the secret you thought was “safe” can leak into model context and become accessible to the wrong people. OneCLI changes this. You don’t give the credential to Hermes. The secret stays outside the agent. Hermes gets access. The model doesn’t need to see the key.

  I speak for most early or mid Googlers when I say this pains me. After quitting and dealing with many enterprises and industries, I can say the level of competence inside Google is insanely high. And Google has the most AI talent density of any big tech company and is th only one with AI DNA. But today’s Google also makes insane own goals. Maybe this one is due to French bureaucracy and anti-tech vendette. But I look at e.g. the Gemini integrations in Docs and Gmail and it is obvious there is a Google problem.

  @JustPark Hi there. Unfortunately I have not received your response… I just checked my email and my junk and spam folders. I can only think it may be a problem with Gmail blocking all email from just park at a central spam filter level. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!

  The AI race won't be won by whoever has the best model. Ask a developer who's winning and you'll get an argument about benchmarks, context windows, and coding evals. Ask literally anyone else and you'll get a blank stare... most people in the US have never paid a dollar for an AI subscription. That's the whole game right there. Distribution beats capability. Google doesn't need to convince anyone to sign up for anything. AI shows up in Search, in Gmail, in Docs, on every Android phone. It's already there, already free, already attached to accounts people have had for fifteen years. OpenAI has the brand name ("ChatGPT" became the generic verb), but a brand still requires people to go somewhere new. Anthropic builds arguably the best model for real work... and sells almost entirely to developers and enterprises. Great business, small slice of the population. The lesson isn't new. VHS beat Betamax. Windows beat better operating systems. Frontier capability matters enormously right up until it stops being the bottleneck, and then the question becomes: whose product is already in the user's hand when they need it? Which is exactly why "who's winning" is the wrong question for builders. Nobody is going to out-distribute Google. But the foundation models are increasingly a commodity you rent by the token... the actual opportunity is the layer above. The specific product, for the specific person, solving the specific problem. Normies don't want a model?!? They want something that works without them having to understand what's underneath it. The labs are fighting over the engine. Most of the value is going to get built by the people making cars. 🚗

  @openshipio @grok I host the server openship in docker. What should I use as email provider? Proton? Gmail?

  ChatGPT 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. Document creation and email plugins to send via Gmail have saved me so much time

  This post is making the rounds around here. As a PSA: do not use a VPS to send emails. It might work ok at small scale but it might turn bad at any moment. There is a huge risk that a big provider like gmail will flag your IP and stop delivering your messages to inboxes. It is a solved problem and not reason not to use a big, trusted provider (aws, sendgrid, etc) It's cheap and can save a lot of headache.

  @BultoSenor @paramounttactcl @ObscureMod I had an account that got hijacked after a few years of no use and a lost gmail. I recently was able to log in to that gmail and also login in to my original twitter account from maybe 10 years ago. It had been used by a scammer in 2024. They def activate unused accounts.

  Today, we launched Email Deliverability Insights at OneSignal. Here's what sets it apart: * Per-provider deliverability, not just aggregates. Aggregate metrics create blind spots. A 98% delivery rate can hide the fact that Yahoo is sending you to spam. OneSignal breaks out deliverability by each inbox provider so you can spot problems early and fix them fast. * Real Gmail complaint data. We integrate with Google Postmaster Tools to surface actual Gmail spam complaint rates. This data is not otherwise available from standard deliverability monitoring. * Expert answers built in. OneSignal AI can answer your deliverability questions with specific guidance based on your own data.

  Dear Google Team, I can’t access my Gmail account. I forgot my password, and the standard recovery options are not working for me. This is my primary account. Please help me recover it as soon as possible. Thank you. @TeamYouTube @nealmohan @sundarpichai ???

  @Caleb_dharmie Have you reach out to their customer support. The only time I experienced this is when I changed old email on the account to a new and I was trying to login (with Google ) the next day with the old Gmail
