    Email signature logo showing as a broken box for some people? Don't fix it with base64. Gmail blocks those deliberately, and some spam filters flag a message containing one. Host it at a normal URL — or rebuild the wordmark as text. Text never gets blocked.

    Anyone else building with Composio and running into these? 1. The multi-execute tool has a deeply nested schema that LLMs frequently miss parameters on. Claude handles it best. Swap to other models with the exact same harness and they start dropping required fields. 2. Permission management is all-or-nothing. Connecting Gmail forces the full scope (including delete-all-emails). If the user doesn’t grant every single permission, the connector just fails. Composio is genuinely great making things really convenient but these issues are starting to block real product use for me. Curious if others are seeing the same or have workarounds.

    @BellatrixLux369 1.) "I can't confirm that." in the video you linked you choose to ignore. 2.) Youu do realize you can create a Gmail account using any name you select, yes? 3.) Additionally, married couples who trust one another have one another's logins.And, once again, you chose to ignore "I can't confirm that." You'll need more than a saved login with cached credentials.

    7/ Then there is Google Drive Most people don’t just have information in one place. We have documents in Drive. Messages in Gmail. Events in Calendar. Data in Sheets. Notes in Notion. The problem isn’t necessarily a lack of information. The problem is that the information is fragmented. Mira’s connector approach attempts to reduce that fragmentation.

    They been illegally accessing my Gmail account since December 2025. Logging into it over 5000 TIMES from a Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G with an exact location / IP in Hot Springs Arkansas. Spying on my movements, reading attorney-client privilege, stealing it's contents. CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION LAUNCHED. Pasco County Sheriff's, FBI, Hot Springs Police, Florida State Attorney's Office & my lawyers all involved. Legal action being taken. Contempt of Court coming. BIG TROUBLE AHEAD! THIS IS A CRIME!

    just read this. Elon's team accidentally destroyed the business of hiring people to do your boring work an executive assistant costs $68,000 a year. an agency bills $2,000 a month for the same pile of small jobs. this does the pile for $0 on a plan a lot of you already pay for and the two labs everyone compares him to have already admitted, on their own help pages, that theirs cannot do it OpenAI, about their own agent: "at launch, Cloud browser cannot sign in to websites or complete payments" Anthropic, about theirs: "Your computer needs to be awake and the Claude Desktop app needs to be open" it's called Grok Bot. it logs into your real accounts and keeps working with the laptop shut one of them has been running for a month talking to 40 factories in Vietnam on WhatsApp, negotiating price and ordering samples. no api, no integration, no code. it used WhatsApp the way a person does the whole method fits on a napkin: → one bot, one job, never two → sign into a tool once and every other bot inherits that session, so you only ever do it once → connect Gmail through the plugin, never the bot's browser, or it gets blocked for looking like a datacenter → put 2 to 6 of them in one group chat and they hand work to each other without you in the room → write the job the way you would brief a new hire, not the way you prompt a model → tell it what to do when it cannot confirm something or it will quietly invent it the two hours of clicking before your real day starts is the exact shape of work it takes. not your judgment, not your taste, not the thing you actually get paid for every founder reading this pays somebody for those two hours the bot is free. being the one who actually builds it this week is the whole edge six rules is the short version. the full build is in the piece below ↓

    @BitcoinNewsCom I’m calling bullshit on this story. First, there’s zero proof or screenshots to back up the original claim. All you’ve done is repost the original story with your take. Second, everyone knows how strict Google is. You so much as even look at your Gmail inbox wrong Google practically sends a swat team to your house to make you verify your login. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, is gaining access to another Google account without the person knowing. There would be pop ups, notifications, confirmations sent to the user through their Google apps that are already installed on their devices. Third, you’re telling me that these people were able to access this guys exchange account and somehow the exchange approved the unusual login and large withdrawal without question even with the new Australian crypto regulations? Lol, okay sure.

    When Google shut down my You Tube channel. They also closed my Gmail. I’d had that account for decades. And it’s how old friends would contact me. Should tech companies be allowed to arbitrarily close people’s email accounts? Call me crazy. But I think not. I’m more annoyed about that than my You Tube channel. Sorry for Tadhg. It was promoting peace with Iran that did it for me.

    First why most inboxes are a disaster. It's not your fault. Gmail defaults every account to one setting: all emails arrive in one flat list. No categories. No priority. No filtering. Everything from your most important client to a promotional email from a store you bought shoes from in 2019 lands in the same stream. The average professional receives 85+ emails per day. Over a year, that's 22,000+ messages arriving in one undifferentiated pile. Gmail has 15+ organizational tools built in. Labels. Filters. Stars. Categories. Multiple Inboxes. Priority Inbox. Nudges. Snooze. Auto-advance. All of them are turned off or unconfigured by default. The coach's framework: "Gmail isn't broken. It's unconfigured. The difference between email chaos and email clarity is 20 minutes in Settings. Once. The system runs itself after that."

    @Liesorliars The financial aspect: He explained to journalist Wolff that his expertise was a reverse Ponzi scheme — that he (Jeffrey Epstein) knew how to make money disappear. Jeffrey Epstein had a Proton Mail email address. In the Epstein files, there is a message in which someone recommends that he create a Proton account for privacy on one particular subject, telling him that he would close his Proton subscription after the exchange of emails. Of course, this was a joke directed at those who might access his Gmail in the future — there is no reason to shut down an account if it offers privacy. His Gmail would become public, and he knew it. Just as Fauci knew his diary would become public.

    @maks6361 Happens if you don’t have a sim or you’ve made way too many accounts on the same phone. Also domain emails are super low trusted just buy gmail accounts. And worst case use sms pool and register with a temporary number the only issue is you won’t be able to 2ga

    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.

    OpenMousebot just landed. It's a free open-source version of Grokbot. And it runs on the AI subscriptions you already pay for. Quick backstory: Grokbot's "week-long" free trial died on me in 20 minutes. One day later, a builder shipped this. Open source. No waitlist. → Looks like WhatsApp, but every contact is an AI agent → Each bot gets its own brain, memory, and cloud computer → Pick a different model per bot: Claude, Codex, or Grok → 500+ one-click app connections: Gmail, Slack, Notion → Every risky action needs your approval first The part Grokbot can't match: Grokbot locks you into one model and burns tokens fast. This uses the Claude login you already have. One assistant in one chat box was version 1. A named team of agents, each with a job and a computer? That's version 2. And it just went free.

    Avoid @IPRoyal_proxies Their “static” proxy suddenly died while I was using it and Gmail flagged a new device at the same time. Support admitted their provider is having unexpected issues, but they can’t explain what happened to my IP. Completely unacceptable for a service handling business-critical accounts.

    @ionleu @gmail The problem is Google Employees have probably never worked past 10PM a single day in their entire career so they have no idea how painful on the eyes light-mode is at 2AM when you're trying to navigate email, docs, etc. Like why tf is Drive dark mode by default but nothing else?

  • Youtube_pr0
    The King (@Youtube_pr0) reported

    There are things about YouTube automation nobody wants to say out loud. So I’ll say them. 1. Most people don’t need another course. They need to actually execute what they’ve already learned. 2. “Passive income” is probably the worst way to describe YouTube. At the beginning, it’s work. A LOT of it. The leverage comes later when you’ve built a system. 3. AI didn’t make YouTube easy. It made production easier. Everyone has access to the same tools now. So the advantage moved to ideas, taste, storytelling and execution. 4. Some people are selling YouTube automation because it’s easier than actually building a successful channel. Learn from people who can show you what they’ve built—not just what they promise. 5. Your first channel might fail. That’s not proof that YouTube doesn’t work. It might simply mean your strategy wasn’t good enough yet. 6. “Just be consistent” is terrible advice by itself. You can consistently make bad videos. You need consistency + strategy + feedback. 7. And here’s the uncomfortable one: Sometimes you’re not “one video away” from success. Sometimes you need to make 50 more videos and get significantly better. That’s the part nobody wants to hear. There is no secret button. There is no magic Gmail. There is no guaranteed niche. There is no AI tool that can replace judgment. You still have to become good. And that’s exactly why most people quit. So says the King. 👑 What’s the uncomfortable truth about YouTube that nobody talks about?

    If your emails land fine for small companies but keep bouncing off enterprise targets, tackle that strategically. It's a common issue and most people mess this up. Here's what's going on. Big companies don't use plain Gmail or Outlook filtering, they sit behind email security gateways like Sophos, Proofpoint, and Mimecast. And those gateways check blacklists that consumer inboxes basically ignore, SURBL is a big one. So you can have a domain that looks totally healthy sending to SMBs, point it at a list of enterprise contacts, and suddenly you're getting hard 550 rejections. Despite of the same infra and copy, the outcome turn out to be completely different. It's because the enterprise side is running a stricter check which your SMB sends never triggered. A young domain is way more likely to trip this. If your domain's only a couple months old and you're going after enterprise, expect to get bounced at the gateway. To avoid this, don't send to enterprise targets on fresh domains. If enterprise is your game, age those domains longer and keep them cleaner than you would for SMB. Anyone running enterprise outbound, are you seeing the same gateway wall, or have you found a way around it?
