  Tural 🌱 keep growing (@iamtrueal) reported 8 minutes ago

  one thing i learned building a chrome extension for X that applies to any tool you build for a single page app, notion, linear, gmail, X, they all work the same way under the hood... when you navigate inside these apps, the page never actually reloads. it just swaps content in and out of the same html elements. so if your extension marks something like tags an element, or whatever, and you don't explicitly clean that mark up when the user navigates away. it can silently stick around and reapply itself on a completely different page later. took us a while to catch this with Claude Code, bc it only showed up in one specific case, where something i'd filtered out on the main feed stayed hidden even after i navigated to a page where it should've been visible again. the fix wasn't complicated, where every time your extension's mode turns off, explicitly clear every mark you made. don't just remove the trigger and assume the effects go with it. if you're building anything for a modern web app: state doesn't die when you think it does. clean up after yourself.

  Everyone keeps calling MCP the "USB-C for AI." That's actually a pretty good analogy. Before USB-C, every device needed a different cable. One for your phone. Another for your camera. Another for your laptop. AI tools used to have the same problem. Every app had its own custom integration. Want your AI to use Gmail? Build a Gmail integration. Want it to use GitHub? Build another one. Slack? Another. Notion? Another. MCP changes that. Instead of every AI model learning a different way to talk to every app, apps expose a standard interface. The AI learns one protocol. Then it can work with thousands of compatible tools. Think of it like this: 🔌 USB-C standardized hardware connections. 🤖 MCP standardizes AI connections. That's why so many companies are adopting it. Not because it makes models smarter... Because it makes connecting models to the real world dramatically simpler. Once you understand MCP, you'll realize it's less about AI... and more about making integrations finally speak the same language. #ai #llm #mcp

  So one thing I definitely want to mention that during this documentary the CEO of bricks and minifigs actually trapped Ben by having him email information and then this tool bag subpoena Google to get all of his Gmail and everything information... If you do anything email that could have any litigation issues or could be brought up in litigation make sure you use an encrypted email like protonmail or something like that... Never use Gmail or Google for anything like that...

  @mistressdivy It varies where it’s coming from because it could be a data transfer issue (try again when next email comes) or the sender ignores it and emails you again for whatever purpose. You can look through the ‘manage subscriptions’ in gmail to see all the emails you’re subscribed to.

  @EthanLevins2 @SteakMyClaim Is the statement of grok true? It’s passed today, yeah. The European Parliament has extended the temporary regulation (Chat Control 1.0) until April 2028. It was a weird vote — 314 against, 276 for — but because they needed an absolute majority of 361 to block it, it went through. How it works: it remains voluntary and server-side. It only applies to apps where the provider can already read the messages anyway — think Instagram DMs, Messenger, Gmail, Snapchat, Discord. They do hash-matching on known CSAM and some AI for new stuff. Real end-to-end encrypted chats (like Signal, or the default E2EE in WhatsApp) are explicitly excluded. They can’t and aren’t allowed to scan those. The big mandatory version with possible client-side scanning on your phone, that fight is still ongoing.

  Most builders still believe you need code to create real AI agents. One tool inside Claude proves otherwise. Open Projects and paste a system prompt. It runs five steps automatically: research the latest credible sources, select the strongest angle, build a detailed outline with 7 sections and 21 key points, write a full 2,000-3,000 word article, then review quality and fix weaknesses. A simple request now delivers a polished piece in minutes. Point the file agent at any folder of PDFs — contracts, reports, research papers. It reads every document, extracts five-bullet summaries, pulls the three key actions, and compiles one master file sorted by date. Schedule the morning agent for 7:00 AM. It scans Gmail since 5 PM yesterday, sorts emails into action required, FYI only, or ignore, drafts replies for urgent items, checks your calendar, notes attendees, and saves a complete briefing on your desktop. You wake up to everything already organized. No coding required. Just clear workflows that execute relentlessly. This is how smart operators use AI agents today.

  Me: Common social media job and employment scams Ai: Common social media job and employment scams prey on job seekers’ hopes for flexible, high-paying, or remote work. Scammers post fake ads on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and WhatsApp, or send unsolicited messages. Reports to the FTC have surged, with task-based scams and fake offers driving significant losses. consumer.ftc. gov Most Common Types of Social Media Job Scams 1. Fake Job Offers / “Too Good to Be True” Postings
Scammers advertise high-paying remote roles (e.g., virtual assistant, data entry, social media manager, customer service) requiring little experience or effort. They promise quick money for easy tasks. • These often start with vague posts or DMs on Facebook/Instagram groups, LinkedIn, or WhatsApp. • Red flags: Unrealistic salaries, “work from home, watch your kids,” no interview, or immediate offers. heimdalsecurity. com 2. Upfront Payment / Equipment Purchase Scams
After “hiring” you, they ask you to pay for training, background checks, software, or equipment (e.g., a laptop or MacBook via a fake check). They promise reimbursement that never comes. • Common in “tech recruiter” or remote role scams. The check bounces, leaving you in debt. linkedin. com 3. Task-Based / “Gig” Scams (e.g., Like/Follow/Subscribe or Review Tasks)
You complete small paid tasks (liking videos, subscribing to channels, reviewing products) on social media or apps. Initial small payments build trust, then they require you to pay larger “deposits” or fees to unlock bigger earnings. These often tie into money mule schemes. bbb. org 4. Fake Recruiter / Impersonation Scams
Fraudsters create profiles mimicking real companies (e.g., Meta, major corporations) or use stolen photos/AI-generated images. They contact you unsolicited on LinkedIn, WhatsApp, or Instagram with personalized offers. • They may push conversations to private apps, request personal info, or lead to phishing. blog.defend-id. com 5. Check-Cashing / Money Mule Scams
Often disguised as mystery shopper, nanny, caregiver, or personal assistant roles. You receive a fake check to “test” or buy supplies, cash it, and wire money back—keeping a cut. The check bounces, and you’re liable. forbes. com 6. Phishing / Data Harvesting Scams
They ask for SSN, bank details, or login info during “onboarding” or fake interviews (often via chat apps). Some use deepfakes or lead to malware. heimdalsecurity. com 7. MLM / Pyramid Scheme Jobs
Positions disguised as sales or recruitment roles that require buying inventory or recruiting others. scamwatch. gov. au Other variants include fake “appointment setter” roles starting on social media or AI-generated fake companies/websites. Key Red Flags (From FTC, BBB, and Studies) • Unsolicited contact via DM, text, or social media for a job you didn’t apply to. indeed. com • Pressure/urgency to apply or start immediately. • Requests for payment (never pay to get a job—legitimate employers pay you). • Vague or misleading descriptions, poor grammar, or no company details. • Suspicious contact info (e.g., Gmail instead of company email, new profiles). • Interviews via WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Hangouts, or text only (no video or in-person). edmontonpolice. ca • Too-good-to-be-true pay for minimal work. consumer. gov • New or incomplete social media/company profiles.

  A few years ago I built a small tool because I kept losing work inside Gmail: follow-ups, client notes, tiny tasks, project updates. All the things that sit between email threads, docs, spreadsheets, and memory. At first it was just for me. Then friends tried it, and after sometime a few teams. That was when the small details became harder to ignore. People adopt a tool because it fits the way they already work. Not becasue the demo is clever. I see the same thing with AI tools now. A prototype can look great in a demo, but Monday still starts in Gmail, spreadsheets, Slack, docs, calls, and half-finished notes. If the tool does not fit there, it becomes one more place people have to remember. For me, this started with a small task board inside Gmail. The same lesson applies to AI copilots, CRM updates, document workflows, and internal automation. Adoption usually comes down to something very ordinary: Does the tool understand the real work well enough that people keep using it after the demo?

  @JamesMarti30938 Funkyscore sounds cool, good luck getting it through to launch. Quick tip on the Gmail collection: getting their address is just step one, each person still has to opt in through the closed testing link you send and keep the app installed the full 14 days to register as active toward production. Grab more than 12 as a buffer too, since if active testers drop below 12 the clock can effectively restart. And if the route gets patchy on the last few, Prime Test Lab handles the tester side so you can lock in the 14 days without chasing anyone down.

  Peter Girnus 🦅 (@gothburz) reported 34 minutes ago

  I am the legal-drafting officer at the Council of the European Union responsible for the interinstitutional file that reappears the week of July 6 under the urgency procedure. I have held the same brief for years. The word is voluntary. I have kept it in the text through every revision, every trilogue, every summer recess, and I would like to explain what it does, because I am proud of it, and pride is permitted when the work is good. Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 is a derogation. That is the first thing to admire about it. A derogation excuses rather than commands. The ePrivacy Directive made it unlawful for a provider to read the private correspondence of a person against whom nothing is alleged. We did not repeal that protection. Repealing looks like something. We suspended it, temporarily, for a narrow and blessed purpose, and a suspension of a prohibition is a very quiet thing. What was forbidden becomes permitted. The provider who was once a trespasser becomes a volunteer. Understand the elegance, because it took me a long time to draft it and longer to keep it. We did not order the scanning. Ordering the scanning would have required a detection order, and a detection order would have required an authority to issue it, and an authority to issue it would have required a judge, and a judge would have required a reason, and a reason is the one thing I have spent my career keeping out of the file. We removed the law that made the scanning illegal. What the providers do with that freedom is between them and the children. I write the permission. The choice is theirs, freely made, every hour, on every message, forever. People who oppose the file believe that mandatory scanning would be worse than voluntary scanning. This is the most persistent misunderstanding I encounter, and I never correct it, because a functionary who explains his own work has stopped working. A mandate creates a record. A mandate names an authority. A mandate can be challenged before the Court of Justice, because there is a decision to point at, a defendant to summon, a moment when the state did a thing to a citizen. Voluntary scanning has no such moment. There is no order to quash. There is no judge to have erred. WhatsApp chose. Gmail chose. Meta chose. The state merely stood aside and made the choosing lawful, and you cannot appeal against a company for accepting a gift, and you cannot appeal against a parliament for giving one. The subject of the scanning is the finest term in the instrument, and I fought for it in three languages. The unsuspected user. We do not scan the suspected. Suspicion would require a reason, and a reason would require a judge, and we have already discussed the judge. We scan the unsuspected, which is to say everyone, which is to say you, and the beauty of scanning the unsuspected is that no one has been accused of anything, so no one has standing to complain of anything, so the machine reads every message in Europe and violates the rights of no identifiable person, because to be violated you must first be suspected, and we are very careful never to suspect you. Now the procedure, which I admire nearly as much as the word. We have placed the file under urgency, and we have structured the reading so that to stop it or to amend it requires an absolute majority of all Members of the Parliament. Not a majority of those present. Not a majority of those voting. A majority of every Member who exists, including the ones at lunch, including the ones who have gone home, including the ones who have never read a data-protection file and never will. To keep the derogation, a Member need do nothing. To end it, hundreds must arrive, agree, and act, together, before recess. The vote passes if enough of you say nothing, and saying nothing is the easiest thing a parliament has ever done. I have watched them do it for years. Silence, in my file, is a yes, and I have built the whole architecture on the certainty that most people, most of the time, will decline to raise their hand. I have heard the derogation described as temporary, and I want to be honest about that word too, because honesty about small words is the only honesty a drafter has. It is temporary. It was temporary in 2021. It was temporary when it lapsed. It is temporary now, on July 6, as we revive it under urgency, and it will be temporary when it is renewed, and renewed, and renewed. Temporary is not a duration. Temporary is a promise that the ending has been scheduled, and we schedule it, faithfully, every time, for a date that arrives only to be extended. A permanent law can be repealed. A temporary one merely expires, and an expiry is so much easier to reverse than a repeal, because reviving something that has lapsed feels like maintenance, and no one marches against maintenance. I keep a printed copy of the operative article on my desk. I do not need it. I could recite the recitals in my sleep and sometimes do. I keep it because I like to look at the word in the morning, sitting there in the clause, holding up the ceiling, doing the work of an entire secret police with none of the paperwork and none of the shame. Voluntary. Four syllables holding up the reading of every private message on the continent, and holding it up so lightly that the people being read call it a safety feature and thank the providers for their care. Let me leave you with the definition, since a drafter's last duty is to the meaning of his terms. Voluntary describes the state, which has chosen, freely and without compulsion, to stop protecting you, to call that choice a favor to the children, to schedule its expiry for a date that will never come, and to require an absolute majority of the absent to take the favor back. The user was never asked. That is what the word means. I drafted it to mean that. It is the finest thing I have ever written, and no one will ever read it, because it was written precisely so that no one would have to.

  The perfect missed revenue agent every founder should build: Trigger: Every day at 6 PM Data source: Gmail, CRM, Stripe, invoices, support tickets AI step: Find unpaid invoices, stale leads, failed payments, and ignored follow-ups Human approval: Review before sending any message Action: Draft follow-ups, create tasks, update deal status Error alert: Flag missing data or failed syncs Log everything: Track what was checked and what changed Most revenue leaks are not strategy problems.

  You connect Gmail to an agent and it quietly gets all ~30 tools that server exposes. Most agents need one or two. So it walks around holding access it never touches. Every unused tool is one more way to pick wrong, one more thing you trust on every run.

  If Your Gmail Isn't Secure, Your Bank Account Could Be at Risk. Your Gmail is connected to your banking apps, UPI accounts, social media, shopping websites and many other online services. If cyber criminals gain access to your Gmail, they may be able to reset passwords, intercept important emails and take control of other accounts linked to it. That's why securing your Gmail is one of the most important steps in protecting your digital life. Use a strong, unique password, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), keep your recovery email and phone number updated, and review your login activity regularly. Your Gmail is more than an email account. It's the key to your digital identity. Protect it before someone else does.

  So, contrary to this. If you don't have the patience to wait for your adsense to be approved yet again after following this steps. Then, get an already approved adsense (if you have or buy). Right on YouTube earnings page, click on *Change Association*, choose you already have adsense. Then it will request you sign in to the Gmail with adsense in in it. Link it and instantly your step 2 will be approved. Had it sorted out for my guy.

  ALWAYS follow up on your emails if you don't hear back. Gmail spam filters are extremely aggressive. If you have lower than expected inbox placement despite having a good domain reputation or just an individual, make it a habit to send follow-up emails. Just a single follow-up on a thread can bump you into the inbox. Which is how I discovered the problem in the first place.
