  @hfakos @Alonso_GD Mail can be similar as banking. If you run an email server, gmail classifies mails send from it as spam, even if you comply with their conditions. If you ask them why they do it, you get no answer.

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  @jvisserlabs For sure, Jordi. The problem here is that for most people who work in large companies, (or any company with a functional IT), it will be very challenging to use GrokBot since it is an unsanctioned tool. If I cannot connect it to my work tools (think Gmail, Microsoft Office, Teams, Slack, Salesforce, etc.), then there's no point, right? So while GrokBot sounds amazing, as it stands, it is still not in a position to win the enterprise. It can win over solo entrepreneurs or people who use it for personal reasons, but right now I would love to use it, but I don't want to get fired for it.

  @TechnicallyTee I set my calendar to sync to my gmail account. It syncs between Apple’s Calendar app and Google Calendar. Never had any problems. Just make sure all of your events that you want to sync are added to the calendar under that email address and they’ll show up on Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS and even Windows if you set it up to.

  OPEN IT ON A PHONE Desktop Gmail ignores the code that makes email responsive. Your mobile layout works everywhere except one of the biggest inboxes on earth. TURN ON DARK MODE Some inboxes keep your colours. Some invert them. Some invert half. Your background and your text can move in opposite directions. CHECK YOUR IMAGES One wrong character in an image address and every recipient sees a broken box. Nobody tells you. The email just goes out broken. SEND IT ANYWAY Because the deadline was yesterday, and it looked fine in the preview.

  8. Delivered does not mean read. Google wants SPF or DKIM to reach a personal Gmail, and SPF, DKIM and DMARC once you send in bulk. Microsoft says passing those checks does not promise delivery. AWS counts an email as delivered when the other mail server accepts it. So delivered means a server said yes. Not a person.

  @instablog9ja It's interesting, bcus i wonder why i have to login my Gmail or create a cloud or Samsung cloud before you can operate a new phone, now people can see that we're all in the matrix controlled by the people who create all this device we use. Day of reckoning is coming soon

  @ThornRavencroft Now the problem is powered by AI. I need to step up my de-Googling efforts. I finally built my server and have my own cloud, I'm using my own aggregate search engine, and I'm on my way with a new proton email, but my "professional" work Gmail let this slip through.

  @mikepat711 I just recently did this too. Gmail had been warning me about nearing my cap. I had the AI purge like 50,000 emails of old obvious garbage. Problem solved. See ya again in 10 years when I'm maybe near the limit again.

  I don't want to sound like an AI alarmist, but I increasingly think AI in the hands of engineers will lead to a devastating world. And the key point here being "in the hands of engineers". This might sound controversial. I would be the first to, in fact, say that engineers still need to be involved in implementing AI. That true agentic experiences are nearly impossible without involvement of engineering. But the more I run into walls with products at some of the most skilled engineering companies (xAI, Google), the more I realize that engineers are just not suitable to govern this powerful resource. In the same way, that engineers are not suitable to govern Customer Support, or Sales Development. An engineer might built a product and a successful company with a customer support. But that customer support cannot be successful and be managed directly by the said engineer. Same with AI. Consider my own recent situation. I got locked out from an old gmail account that I haven't checked in a long time. I have the password; I have the recovery email address. I went through all the steps required to confirm my identity, and was still denied access. Or another recent experience running ads on X. Somehow the system decided that my ads violated their terms (they did not). A duplicated ad got flagged for the same issue. The account is now flagged for life, and there is no recourse. While these are not the fault of AI, and AI can certainly be modified to better handle edge cases, the bigger problem is higher up in the food chain. The problem with treating AI as just another function in the overall user experience, is the misunderstanding of what AI is competing with. When engineering perceive the value of AI, the intrinsic motivation: efficiency and automation. Engineering does not want to deal with the problem, so AI is introduced to automate the solution. But this is an entirely wrong way to think about it. And it is precisely the type of thinking that leads to a Gmail account owner not being able to authenticate into his (my) own account. The right way, in fact, should be to think of AI as a replacement for a person. And a replacement for a person, while a form of automation, is not necessarily about efficiency. In some cases, the AI replacement should actually be plenty inefficient. For instance, when an edge case situation is evaluated. A support ticket comes for a previously automated decision. Efficiency was already applied. To then re-apply the same efficiency, engineers are creating the decision maker and the judge in one body. Dumb AI is a decision maker, the judge, and the executor. That's not how it should be. Some form of AI should always be allowed to have larger freedom to self-correct. And frankly, freedom is not how engineers tend to think about systems they want to control. And how do I know all this? Because I am an engineer.

  I looked inside an email list with 125,000 people on it. Only about 20,700 had opened anything in the last 30 days. So roughly 75% of the list was dead weight. And it was doing real harm. Every time you email people who never open, the inbox providers notice. Gmail especially. Your sender reputation drops, and then the people who actually want your emails start seeing them land in spam or promotions instead of the inbox. A bigger list feels safer. A list stuffed with people who ignore you makes your best campaigns invisible. The fix is boring and it works. Stop emailing anyone who's gone quiet for 120 days. Run one win-back campaign to try to wake them. Let the rest go. I've watched brands brag about a 100,000-person list while their open rate quietly bled out. The two are connected. Size without engagement is the thing dragging you down. Gmail decides where you land based on how real people treat your mail. Send to 100,000 and have 5,000 open, and you look like a spammer. Send to 20,000 and have 10,000 open, and you look like someone people want to hear from. Same brand, very different inbox. You're not shrinking the list to be tidy. You're protecting the deliverability of every email you send to the people who still care.

  The scammers are getting better (well, maybe not better but smoother and more polished). Just got an email from a person who claimed to be an executive and senior editor for W. W. Norton -- an actual publishing company based in New York. The email started by praising my latest book (not one I wrote 15 years ago, as so many have done) with enough detail to show familiarity with the content. Funny, though, it sounded like the same kind of glowing praise for my work I get from ChatGPT (wonder if that's what the scammers are using to summarize books). Said they want to talk to me about "my broader body of work and the projects I might currently have underway" and noted that if I have an agent they would "be happy to continue through them." Gee... sounds great, doesn't it? Couple of problems, though. I actually went to Norton's website to see what they publish. It's a broad range of stuff but includes ZERO science fiction or fantasy. Further, Norton must be aware of what's going on because their website has a page warning about publishing scams and advising that any emails from them will come from their email domain -- first thing I checked, as I do with any suspicious emails, and this one didn't. But hey, like I said, smoother than usual -- this one didn't come from gmail or yahoo or any of those, just a domain that was a permutation of the sender's name. It was very nicely written, though, no problems with spelling or grammar, not demanding or promising anything, just a "we like your work; let's talk." It also reeked of AI generation. Like I tell everybody... I have no problem with AI technology, actually think it's pretty awesome. I just don't like the way people are using it.
