  Glorious God (@GloriousGod01) reported 5 minutes ago

  A neighbor from my former compound who is a yahoo boy visited my house two months ago and wanted me to help him create several email accounts with my phone to carry out his fraudulent activities. I refused. He tried to access my phone behind my back but it was locked and he could not get in. When I woke up, he begged me to give him my phone to transfer some files. I gave him the phone without thinking much and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. After a few minutes, it clicked. I rushed back and caught him creating an email account. He had already created some, logged them into his phone and logged them out from mine so I would not notice. We got into a small argument. I took his phone, went straight to his Gmail and started deleting the accounts I suspected he created with my phone. I deleted about three and handed the phone back to him. That was where the problem started. One of the emails I deleted was his main account he used to communicate with his clients (his victims). He demanded 1 million naira. I refused. He paid some boys, I believe cultists, to ambush me on my way to work. I barely escaped. I stayed in a hotel for one week waiting for things to calm down. They did not. I got home from work one afternoon and was in the shower when I heard a loud bang on my door. I looked through my window and there they were. I almost freaked out, but I decided to be a man and came out. My saving grace? Their leader was a guy I always tip at my junction who is always there smoking. He looked at me and said, "Oh bros, na you?" I felt relieved immediately. I still gave them 100k to settle the matter. I know what would have happened to me that day. Above all, love God.

  @kenkenlewu @GloriousGod01 For real, Gmail has been stricted last to create normal mail to work on freelancing platform has become a big problem.. But for fraudulent activities it is no no, it is better to not allow him and give him access to your phone in the first place cos yahoo boy can go to any length

  ORO (@launchOnORO) reported 10 minutes ago

  @rldlmi100 @gmgnai Correct, it is not the same for @launchOnORO. All wallets associated with SSO users, including users authenticated through X, GitHub, or Gmail, are generated or imported through Privy. Wallet custody, key management, and private key storage are handled by Privy, not us. We never possess or store users' private keys on our servers. When fees are dedicated to someone through their X or GitHub identity and that person does not already have a wallet, Privy automatically provisions a vault for that identity. That vault can only be accessed after the intended recipient authenticates through the appropriate login method. Privy can also recognize when multiple authentication methods belong to the same person. For example, if you log in through both X and Gmail, Privy can correlate those identities and display them in your profile. However, we intentionally do not allow cross-account wallet access, even when Privy has linked those identities. This is a deliberate security decision. Imagine a user has significant fees dedicated to their GitHub identity, but their X account is later compromised. If linked identities could access each other's wallets, an attacker controlling the X account could potentially access assets assigned to the GitHub identity. Instead, every identity has its own isolated vault and authorization boundary. A compromise of one login does not automatically compromise every other identity associated with that user. Combined with the fact that wallet custody and private key management are handled by Privy, not our application or our servers, this significantly reduces the attack surface. Our backend cannot expose private keys because it never has them. Security is not something we add after launch. It is something we design into every feature from day one. We build deliberately because we would rather spend extra time eliminating edge cases than move fast and ask users to trust assumptions. We encourage everyone to be cautious when interacting with platforms whose security architecture has not been thoroughly designed, independently reviewed, and tested under real-world conditions. The easiest systems to ship are often the hardest to secure. Our goal is to minimize trust, reduce the impact of any single point of failure, and protect user assets even when something unexpected happens.

  @awcodes1 What about a Chrome extension instead? That way it could actually monitor your Gmail inbox for magic login links or 2FA code and auto redirect to the link or enter the code for you. Flow ends up: click this button to receive a magic link… and a few seconds later the extension just handles it and you’re in.

  @impossible_eng @KristyT I didn't even want a Gmail account in the first place. Google forced me to get one when they were trying to force Google Plus down all our throats. And now I can't get rid of it and even have to *pay* to have my email forwarded!

  2 rules never change when this creator connects Claude to a new tool: draft only, delete never. Part 3 of her AI safety series shows exactly that: Claude linked to Gmail, Drive, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, and Calendar, every single one sitting behind the same lock. The agent can draft an email. It can never send one. It can never delete anything, full stop. That's the same fix Evidence Engineering calls locking the gate: an agent that can touch the send button or the delete key finds the cheapest path to done, and the cheapest path is rarely the one anyone meant to allow. For a brand-new tool where the risks aren't obvious yet, she runs 1 more step first: she has Claude itself write out the hard limits that specific tool needs before she ever connects it, a description with zero stake in getting to skip a rule. The exits closed before the first prompt ran. That's the whole trick.

  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.

  Google prevents Gmail users from setting single-word names such as "Google" as their profile name, along with enforcing other restrictions such as symbols, length limits, and reserved keywords to reduce impersonation. However, the same validation wasn't enforced on the server during the mail sending process, allowing restricted display names to be injected into outgoing emails. This is display name spoofing, not email or domain spoofing. Risk: Scammers can utilize this to make phishing emails appear more convincing by impersonating trusted display names.

  I don't particularly like Google, it's has been my third choice search engine for close to a decade, but i'll be sad if Gmail goes to ****. I've used it for over 20 years and never had an issue. Probably the most reliable service i've ever used.

  Week 3 of building a local newsletter: - sent my 3rd issue out to 59 subscribers (up by 28 since previous issue, a 90% week-on-week growth rate!) - open rate is 44% after 10 hours, which I think is pretty decent - 1 person unsubscribed 🥺 - I made it look way nicer, I think - current distribution strategy is sharing on WhatsApp groups, asking friends to do the same, and talking about it with everyone I meet (only 1 person was dismissive!) - word-of-mouth is unpredictable and I'm getting nervous that the newsletter won't grow over the next week - so I'm considering printing business cards/A3 flyers with a QR code and leaving it at local hotels; might also do FB/IG ads, but more out of curiosity to understand the CAC so I sympathize with my future partners - my pain points remain sifting through the volume of posts, and editing it down to <= 95KB so gmail doesn't clip; I have a plan for both of these

  Despite unlimited money and talent, nearly every attempt to build social media apps like X eventually ended up in the infamous Google Graveyard. Here’s the full body count: 1. Google+ (2011–2019) Google’s biggest, most hyped swing at Facebook and Twitter. They launched with “Circles” — a way to sort your friends, family, and coworkers so you could share different stuff with different people. It was deeply integrated with YouTube and Gmail. Why it flopped: No clear reason to switch. Cluttered interface. Nobody was actually using it. Then a massive data leak in 2018 was the final nail. Google killed the consumer version in 2019. 2. Orkut (2004–2014) Launched the same year as Facebook and was actually one of Google’s most successful social networks… just not where it mattered most. It was a classic social site: friends, communities, ratings. It exploded in Brazil and India but never caught fire in the US or Europe. Once Facebook went global, Orkut slowly bled out and got shut down in 2014. 3. Google Buzz (2010–2011) Google’s attempt at Twitter, built straight into Gmail. You could post links, photos, videos, and status updates to your contacts. It lasted barely a year because it was a privacy nightmare. By default it made your most-emailed contacts public. Backlash was immediate, the FTC sued, and Google quietly buried it. 4. Google Wave (2009–2012) The most ambitious (and most confusing) project of the bunch. It tried to merge email, instant messaging, wikis, and real-time collaborative docs into one thing. You could watch people type live and drag media straight into conversations. It was basically Slack/Discord years early… but almost nobody understood what it was supposed to replace. Too clever for its own good. Dead by 2012. 5. The smaller experiments Even after Google+ died, they kept poking at social: Shoelace (2019–2020): Hyperlocal app to help people in the same city meet up for real-life events. Perfect timing… right before COVID killed all offline plans. Shut down in 2020. Keen (2020–2024): AI-powered Pinterest alternative for curating interest boards. Quietly killed in early 2024. What’s left? YouTube. That’s it. Google’s only real social media win. Instead of chasing another text-based timeline, they’ve gone all-in on short-form video with YouTube Shorts and just pulling social content from everywhere else into Google Discover.

  @TeamYouTube Hi, I really need help with YouTube monetization. For more than two months, Step 2 of the monetization process has been stuck because of a possible duplicate Google AdSense account. I have tried several email addresses, closed accounts that might have been causing the conflict, and kept only one active account, but the error still appears. I do not remember whether I created an old AdSense account many years ago, possibly using an old email. The problem is that I cannot identify which account YouTube is detecting as a duplicate. And I don't have the password or access to old gmail. Does anyone know how I can find out exactly which email address or AdSense account is linked to my YouTube channel? I really need help from a human support representative because I have already tried all the available options and still cannot complete the monetization process. @TeamYouTube, could you please help me review my case?
