  @shreyas Every "embarrassing mistake" feature is really a tax on the fact that humans move faster than they think. I've sent the wrong attachment to the wrong client. Everyone has. The mistake was never a technology gap, it was a pace gap. Gmail catching it after the fact treats the symptom. The real fix is building in the two-second pause before you hit send. No feature replaces that habit, it just buys you a second chance when you skip it.

  @kapilansh_twt To be honest, its good, except Google throttles the **** out of you, if you visit ANY google website on Edge. YouTube suddenly has random delays, takes longer to load. And same story with google search, gmail and anything Google, just to make you think your browser is slow...

  @TakoTreba @yourenotmartin That sounds like a UX problem. Which email client do you use? GMail works well for most people.

  @AmeliaAmor001 @pm We always keep the address we open the account with (not like gmail where you lose everything when you disconnect the domain). It's also the same inbox, so in case there's a problem with my domain, I'll just use said previous address and will never lose emails.

  So I've been working on this since yesterday. I dumped my google drive into an external hard drive. It's like 10+ years of files I've built up. I'm OCRing all the images and pdfs, which means turning them into plain text so I can search through it all easier. It's pretty slow on a raspberry pi, should be working on this all day. Also working on searching through 10 years of gmail.

  switching ESP will not fix your deliverability. you get new ips. you keep your domain. and domain reputation is the heavier signal at gmail. so you migrate pay the implementation fee burn three months and land in the same folder you were in on the old platform. klaviyo didn't do this to you. your sending behaviour did. fix the behaviour or you're just paying for a new logo on the same problem.

  In Jan 2025 I wrote a guide on writing tools for AI agents. The mental model was: write every tool yourself, it gives more control. Here is the 2026 version of that advice, because it changed. There are now three ways to give an agent capabilities, and knowing which one to reach for is the actual skill: 1: MCP, for the outside world. Gmail, sheets, databases, browsers. Don't write your own gmail tool. Someone already wrote it, tested it, and maintains it. In 2025 the question was "how do I connect my agent to X". In 2026 the question is "which MCP server for X do I trust". 2: Skills, for the how. A skill is a collection of markdown and python files describing a workflow: how we write quotes, how we review code, how we file notes. In 2025 this knowledge lived inside prompts and died with the conversation. Now it is a file in version control. 3: Custom tools, for what is truly yours. Your pricing logic. Your internal systems. Your data. This is the only place where the 2025 advice still fully applies: write it yourself, keep it simple, one tool one job, docstring that a llm can understand. The mistake I see people make is using the wrong layer. Writing custom code for things MCP already covers. Stuffing workflow instructions into tool descriptions. Putting proprietary logic into prompts where it cant be versioned or tested. MCP for the outside world. Skills for the how. Custom tools for what only you have. That rule sorts 95% of the decisions.

  yeah, no. the average consumer has a near zero need for offloading cognitive work. what they need is their netflix and their doordash — your job as a consumer is literally to chill tf out and stay happy and motivated if you dont intuit this as obvious you're most likely neck-deep in a muck of motivated reasoning as a consumer founder / VC okay you can use agents to search the web and synthesize findings. okay you have cognitive chores like filing tax returns and sifting thru email. sounds like great features to bake into google and gmail! on the other hand, your job as a knowledge worker is to convert your cognition into something of economic value — and then because of market dynamics, you'll also need all the cognitive amplification that's available on the market. the biggest problems need the most cognition. the consumer takes care of problems scoped to their own needs. the knowledge workers together take care problems concerning society. when we look back, we'll remember how AI agents helped us cure cancer, not how your agent helped you order pizza over imessage.

  Quick analysis here (Ari shared the URL w me, I won’t repeat it), usual disclaimers apply: What it pretends to be. A Luma event page inviting you to Advertising Week New York 2026 — a real conference with real dates (Oct 5–8) at a real venue. The clone is faithful down to the “Report Event” button and a working Google Maps embed, and it hotlinks the actual cover image and favicon from advertisingweek[.]com. The domain, —redacted—— reads as “AdWeek’s event NY” rather than misspelling anything, so string-similarity domain checks won’t flag it. How it works. Clicking “Accept Invitation” opens a pixel-accurate Google sign-in replica with a ten-minute countdown running. Once you submit credentials, you’re parked on a “Validating your credentials…” spinner while your browser quietly polls the attacker’s server once per second. That poll speaks the Telegram Bot API’s getUpdates format — meaning a human operator is sitting in a Telegram chat watching victims arrive, driving each victim’s screen with inline buttons. This is the key distinction: it’s a live relay, not a harvester that stores credentials for later. The operator types your password into the real Google simultaneously and reflects Google’s genuine responses back at you. The command set includes wrongpass and wrongemail, so a typo produces an authentic-feeling retry prompt. TOTP, SMS, email, and WhatsApp codes all get relayed inside their validity windows. Even Google’s number-matching push is defeated — the operator reads the two-digit number off the real prompt and pushes it to your screen, so the number you’re told to tap is correct, and tapping it authorizes their session. What it’s after. Corporate Google Workspace accounts, specifically. The kit hardcodes ~40 consumer email domains — gmail, yahoo, outlook, icloud, proton — and refuses them. Personal accounts are turned away at the door. Pair that with an advertising-industry lure and the target profile is clear: accounts that sit on top of ad budgets, client data, and payment approval chains. The goal isn’t the password; it’s the authenticated session and the persistence that follows — OAuth grants, mail forwarding rules, delegated access. How it avoids detection. Several layers, working together: (a) A fake Cloudflare “Checking if the site connection is secure” screen gates the payload, so automated URL scanners that don’t click never see the phishing content. It also displays invite[.]advertisingweek[.]com as the domain being verified. (b) The JavaScript is obfuscated with an RC4-keyed string array — over 16,000 encoded strings, so grepping the shipped bundle for “password” or “google” returns nothing. (c) CSS class names are randomized per build (toast94, veldt_84), defeating signature-based detection of the cloned layouts. (d) An inline script deletes and freezes React DevTools, specifically blocking inspection of the component state where credentials live pre-submission. (e) The network profile is dominated by genuine Google Maps, Google Fonts, and hotlinked brand images. The only attacker-controlled request is a same-origin POST to a generic /api.php — indistinguishable from ordinary app traffic.

  @Ayzacoder It’s the same if you sign in CoPilot. Their bot will access to you word documents, one drive etc. I sign in Google to use Gemini but I do not sign in copilot to use copilot and this way my word documents are protected and I do not use Gmail.

  Okay, I need some thoughts on this weird situation with my ex-therapist. I will openly admit that I enjoy a good smackdown when someone needs it but will only whip that part of my personality out in certain cases and with certain people. It's there and trying to rear its ugly head right now. What I would like to do is call her to express in very uncouth words what I think about her and her therapy style and report her to ... I don't even know who. I just don't know if it's fitting, if maybe I'm defensive because of that insane bill by my ex-therapist's office and her very evident apathy toward my journey. Here's what happened this afternoon. Tell me your thoughts, opinions, feelings on this because I'm not familiar with how therapy works and how to deal with someone like this in a professional way rather than scorched Earth. I received an e-mail this afternoon from my ex-therapist. I thought she might be messaging me to ask why I cancelled the rest of her scheduled sessions. When I opened the e-mail, I noticed it was from her personal gmail account, not the clinic's messaging service. She mentioned she noticed I had cancelled and wondered if I might want at least one more session to "wrap things up." Um .. ***** .. wrap up WHAT? My filling out forms that had questions YOU were supposed to ask me directly but that help you avoid doing your job? Me sitting in front of a camera talking to myself while you yawn, talk to your 3 year old son off-camera, and at one point, roll your eyes because you're bored? Me waiting for some kind of input while you keep asking me to repeat things you missed because you were occupied with something else on your desk -- not once or twice but multiple times? I replied that my insurance had mislead me on my coverage (not true but I don't want to deal with an attitude or confrontation), so I can't afford more sessions. Apologized and thanked her for asking. She messages back to ask if I am planning on writing the autobiography I mentioned. I started to feel stupid. I started to feel like my bitterness had blinded me and she wasn't doing all of those things, that she really was paying attention and was trying to offer me a little help since she can't give me any more full sessions. I shed a few tears, not gonna lie. It felt good to know she really did care and she really did want to help me get through my family issues. I messaged back, "I still need some help getting over this writing slump for the books I'm currently working on, so I don't know when I'll get a chance to even start planning out an autobiography. Do you think I should set the other stuff aside because maybe writing about all of this would help ease the chaos in my head?" She replied, "Hi, Lily! I do understand about the insurance. I'm sorry about the mix up. I hope they can sort something out for you. Our phones are always on if you need to talk and if you're able to come back! The reason I asked about the autobiography is because I will admit I was looking forward to hearing more about your family dynamics and what you survived. I've been in therapy for 15 years and your story is one of the most startling I've heard. You know I do enjoy self-help books and I think your story could benefit others. Would it be possible for you to send me your manuscript when you do write it? I of course would never tell anyone about it or what you write. I would keep it confidential. Would this be something you might be interested in pursuing?" I stared for a minute not sure what all of that meant. Like, does she want to beta read my autobiography? Is she just so damned nosy, she wants me back as a patient to listen like my life is gossip? WTF is she expecting? I'm gathering at this point that she's online, so I quickly messaged her for clarification. "Are you asking to be my beta reader or just to read the parts I now won't be able to tell you in therapy?" She immediately replied, "I don't think I would be a beta reader because that's a job correct? I don't expect to be paid. As you mentioned I'm interested in hearing more outside of therapy. I'm drawn to your story. I can accept it as a PDF or Discord if you have that. Does this sound good?" And this is where I have left it. No response because WTF am I supposed to say? I can't even figure out what's going on right now. What ********?! Should I be pissed? Should I be flattered? Should I be grateful that a "professional" would read my book and possibly give me free input? (Then again, that free input is from someone as ****** as her.) Should I report her? I don't know what's even happening.

  I see this so much in software (eg @Supabase Auth enforces uniqueness on phone numbers), Gmail, etc. It's an insane financial and product decision (at such low thresholds) yes, there are always workarounds. but hitting these ( @openai gets a pass lol ) always make me choose alternatives on future grab bag projects. Quick unforced error 'for safety' but in reality it adds a blind spot customer attrition sinkhole. This is churn you don't even know about if you want to cap it, ok, put it at a respectable 5 accts to a phone number or something modest at least 'no sir, we will NOT take your money without wasting your time and having you spin up a fake phone number or getting a second line' lul wut 🙈

  @esrtweet There are good Linux distros fro desktop use, and there have been for at least 15-20 years. I'm exorcising Windows from my life right now, and I'm seriously thinking about going with BSD over Linux. (I've used Linux for my primary desktop several times over the years (mostly Corel/Puppy/Ubuntu), for a total of about 3 or 4 years, but got enticed back to Windows back in 2014 by the Surface Pro and it's amazing support for touch and pen. Since MS has now pretty much abandoned-in-place pen/touch support (and most devs do nothing to take advantage of it, especially after they killed off the awesome, if slow, Surface Studio), there's literally NO reason to put up with Redmond's maddening crapfest anymore.) I do encourage everyone who can to get off Windows. Just donit buy it. If you're a techie, build a Linux/BSD machine. If you're not, and you think Google is any more trustworthy than Microsoft (arguably they are, but that's a really low bar), and especially if your company already uses Gmail, Chromebooks are the zero-admin solution every business owner should be seriously considering. No IT Indians needed!

  First, understand the attack. Attackers get into your email three ways: → Credential stuffing (your old password from a 2019 breach) → Phishing (fake Gmail login page in an ad) → Session hijack (infostealer malware pulling cookies off your device) They don't guess. Your passwords are already in a database somewhere.
