Mythago (@MythagoW3) reported@SneakypeekSol They did everything they could so people would loose their big points like me. Connect wallet create auth - then old profile is linked to Gmail = can't link to the same wallet. GG 15k points down the drain 600 points go ahead for tge .. **** them full stop. Scam team.

joyvex (@joyvexclips) reported@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube I tried the recovery link and the hacked channel assistant, but both require me to sign in, which I can’t do. I’m completely locked out — codes only go to my hacked Gmail or an old phone I no longer have not my recover email

Benjyyyyy (@ben_jay18) reportedBefore we talk about solutions, we need to be precise about the problem. ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴏᴡɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅɪɢɪᴛᴀʟ ʟɪꜰᴇ. ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇɴᴛ ɪᴛ. Your Gmail account, your Instagram profile, your Google Drive, your iCloud storage, your WhatsApp history. None of it belongs to you. It belongs to the platforms that host it. Think of it exactly like renting a flat. Google is the landlord. Meta is the landlord. Amazon is the landlord. They own the building. They wrote the lease in language designed to be ignored. They can read your mail, invite advertisers into your living room, change the rules mid-tenancy, and remove you without meaningful recourse. You pay with something more valuable than rent money. You pay with ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ, ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴇʜᴀᴠɪᴏᴜʀ, ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀᴛᴛᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴ, ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ɪᴅᴇɴᴛɪᴛʏ. Every search, every click, every message is a payment you make without seeing an invoice. And you build zero equity. Nothing accumulates in your name. By 2030, the world will generate 2,142 ᴢᴇᴛᴛᴀʙʏᴛᴇꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ. The overwhelming majority of it will be created by people who own none of it. The question worth asking seriously is this. ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ɪᴛ ᴀᴄᴛᴜᴀʟʟʏ ᴛᴀᴋᴇ, ᴛᴇᴄʜɴɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ, ᴛᴏ ᴏᴡɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅɪɢɪᴛᴀʟ ʜᴏᴍᴇ ɪɴꜱᴛᴇᴀᴅ ᴏꜰ ʀᴇɴᴛɪɴɢ ɪᴛ ꜰᴏʀᴇᴠᴇʀ? The answer has three parts. 🔻

Naran Row-Spaulding (@NRSmaine) reportedMorens frequently conducted government business from his Gmail account and even asked the NIH’s FOIA liaison for tips on how to evade records requests, according to communications from that House probe first exposed by The Post in May 2024. “[T]here is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail [sic], or hand it to him at work or at his house,” Morens wrote in one April 21, 2021, email. “He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.” TICK-TOCK, Fauci... Two months prior, Morens said in a Feb. 24 email: “[I] learned from our foia [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am FOIA’d [sic] but before the search starts.”

VasuSs (@VasuB367413) reported@ShivAroor @gmail I had the same problem but there is an option to unsubscribe by going to manage subscription option , now 90 % of it has stopped

Rob Goodall (@RobGoodall6) reported@WriteThatBetter @MerriamWebster One of my staff always wrote it "defiantly" in work emails, so I set up a special autocorrect feature in gmail to fix it. After that you couldn't write "defiantly" in an email even if you wanted to.

Nikhil Jha (@nikhilxverse) reported@ShivAroor @gmail I don't know how to fix it at once, but I just keep unsubscribing any spam email. When you unsubscribe, the publisher of the spam can't send you any email. Many times you don't want to unsubscribe, but filter only certain types of emails. In this case you should open the publisher website/app and check for how to manage email notifications. (Could use ChatGPT here for assistance) Another thing to keep in mind is, for sending you spam, a subscriber needs some kind of manual trigger from your side allowing it, it could be like an optional tick along with the consent you generally have to approve or it could be some box with default option of send email updates etc (here you need to manually unselect it). Google doesn't allow publishers to randomly send to anyone, it needs your consent in some way (or fake it), if you're careful while signing in to a website or when accepting consent you could actually avoid most spam from start. If by mistake it does start, you could always just unsubscribe. Note: above is only true for legitimate sites which follow the rules, the illegitimate ones can still fake your consent, in which case you will have to manually stop it through email. A quick hack could be that before unsubscribing to a spam email, click on three dots option in the email & select "filter messages like this" option and send them to spam or trash.

Jason K Williamson (@jasonKierW) reported/6 The fix isn't complicated but it takes time. You go hyper-segmented. Rebuild reputation one domain at a time. Gmail first, then Hotmail, Outlook, the rest. You earn your way back into the inbox slowly. 30-60 days. Done right, it sticks.

Umut Türemen (@umutturemen) reported@ClaudeDevs @claudeai can you please fix the Gmail connector to create drafts directly below the treads? It used to work like a charm, now Claude only creates new drafts. Please bring back the treadID parameter under create draft function.

Chris (@chatgpt21) reportedOne thing about GPT 5.5 in codex, that would make it a lot more life like This is my own personal user story I gave codex the task of ending a subscription from Gmail and I saw that it was struggling in the beginning so I told it not to search the exact dollar amount I gave it. Which went into the queue. However, 5.5 not being lazy it eventually found the subscription by itself and when it was right on the cancellation page to get a confirmation from me, - the queued request of “don’t search x dollar amount” I was going to have it start off from the beginning. The best thing to do in this scenario, if you were codex would be to see when the user had sent that message that ended up in the queue, and inference how likely it is that it had already solved that issue and THEN prompt the user with the question. Not blindly follow an instruction that would have it start from square one

Arjun Aakula (@aakula_arjun) reportedProcurement teams in Indian SMBs spend 10+ hours a week copy-pasting vendor emails into Excel. No price memory. No anomaly detection. No visibility. Just Gmail, Excel, and hope. I'm building the fix. Follow along.

Marc Brooks 马博江 (@IDisposable) reportedIs it just me, or is @gmail glacially slow after selecting a new message... like a 10 second pause after everything. I hope this isn't some stupid AI feature tax that nobody wants hitting every single action.

TK (@teekay294) reportedStory: when OpenClaw came out I went deep for a weekend and built myself an agent. I Named it Claudius, gave it its own Gmail, GitHub, and Reddit accounts. While using openclaw I noticed an issue with the control UI and had Claudius file a real issue to the openclaw repo. Then I got busy and basically forgot Claudius existed for two months. Today I got a GitHub notification in Claudius's inbox. @steipete had replied to the issue, and his reply was also clearly agent-generated: a proper review with file paths, line numbers, and the commit it was reviewed against. I sat there reading an exchange between two agents about a real problem in the codebase (enhancement, technically, but real). Neither agent was off doing its own thing. I saw something, told mine to file it. Peter has his agent scrubbing and triaging issues on whatever cadence he set. Two humans pointed two agents at real work and the agents handled the middle. The version of this that ruins repos and gives AI that "slop" reputation is a non-technical human getting their hands on an agent and letting it loose with a prompt like "go find bugs in openclaw and file issues".
