Ravi Madabhushi (@ravibits) reportedYou 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.

Nilesh Sharma (@NN4775) reported@Definedge I'm trying to log in to Opstra on my mobile, but I can't find the Gmail option. This seems to be a recurring issue, and many users also struggle to find the Google login option. Could you please guide how to log in using my Gmail on the mobile. Thank you.

But when i tried to connect my wallet the error says that this wallet is connected to other account. This is weird cause im already logining the correct account.

Dinnu daniel (@daniel_adinnu) reportedChat Control 1.0 passed without a single MEP changing their mind. The vote that killed it in March and the vote that revived it in July had almost the same numbers, the difference was a procedural rule nobody outside Brussels was watching. Run the actual mechanics, because the “passed by default” framing is doing real work here. In March, the European Parliament voted 311 against, 228 in favor, rejecting an extension of the temporary law that lets platforms like Gmail, Snapchat, and Facebook Messenger voluntarily scan for known CSAM. That should have ended it. Instead, the EU Council adopted the Commission’s original text as a second-reading position in July, which triggered a different legal threshold entirely: Parliament could now only block it with an absolute majority of all 720 members, 361 votes, not simply more votes against than for. In the actual July vote, 314 MEPs opposed it, more than opposed it in March, and it still passed, because absences and abstentions count as support under that rule. Here’s what the amendment actually changed, and it matters more than the “chat control” branding suggests. MEPs explicitly exempted end-to-end encrypted services like WhatsApp and Signal from the law’s scope. This wasn’t a new concession; true end-to-end encryption already made server-side scanning technically impossible, since neither the platform nor anyone but the two parties involved holds the decryption key. What the exemption formally rules out is any future attempt to extend this specific temporary law into encrypted spaces, not a rollback of protections that were previously in place there. The law that did pass applies only to platforms that can already access message content directly, Gmail, Snapchat, Messenger, Skype, Xbox, using hash-matching against known CSAM databases, AI classification for new material, and text analysis for grooming patterns. It authorizes this scanning; it does not require it. Supporters, including the rapporteur who backed the extension, argue the alternative is a legal gap that stops platforms from continuing detection work that has directly led to arrests and rescues. Critics, including privacy researchers and MEPs like Markéta Gregorová, argue the procedural route used to revive a rejected bill undermines Parliament’s own rules regardless of the underlying merits of CSAM detection itself. The permanent framework, Chat Control 2.0, is still being negotiated, and it’s the version that would introduce mandatory client-side scanning even on encrypted platforms, the change privacy advocates consider the actual red line. This vote didn’t decide that fight. It just kept the temporary, voluntary version alive while it continues.

Abhishek Sharma (@abhi100425) reported5/ The real fix: stop relying on the web server. Route email through SMTP so every message carries proof of identity (SPF and DKIM). That's what tells Gmail and Outlook the email really came from your domain.

Martine Dennis (@MartineDennis) reported@TeamYouTube My Gmail account which is linked to my YouTube channel has been hacked. All the recovery information has been changed by the hacker. The automated recovery page is locked down. I’d appreciate your attention on this. Thanks

Chris ✈️🇧🇷🇵🇹🇺🇸🌍 (@crismsantos) reported@gatlactica @eternalclassic_ I see your point and not saying that Apple ecosystem for user login is bad But if our friend just login with the Google account it will not ask all that crap again FFS you can create a dummy Gmail account if you dont want to use your real email there. That's what I did

SteelRoots (@localmule) reported@OfAthenry Ahhh Gmail. Had 3 accounts, used each one as recovery. Getting a new phone, have an email other than Gmail tied to Apple. Gmail glitch cycle is real. If not, you could get locked out of everything for a very long time with 2Fa and not having access to any email to confirm.

Aryan Mahajan (@aryanXmahajan) reportedHiring a random AI dev to "transform" your business is the single most expensive mistake a founder can make right now. Not because it costs 10K. Because it costs you 2 months believing the problem is solved while it quietly isn't. I've watched this exact ending happen to enough founders this year that I could time it. You've been sold a lie dressed up as convenience. A $100/month Cowork subscription does not run a company. It runs a HOBBY. You could hand every founder the best model in the world tomorrow and this problem doesn't move an inch. What happens at 2am when something breaks and nobody's watching it? If you're clearing $500K a year off a Gmail inbox, a shared Google Sheet, and a Notion board, fine, plug in whatever you want. You never had problems deep enough to expose the gap. If you're running $2M through six people, three vendors, and a CRM nobody actually trusts, you already know exactly how deep this goes. Even "AI project management" for ten people is not wiring Fireflies into Claude into ClickUp and calling it done. A real project manager does not hand out tasks. He knows who's on the other end of every single one. The guy who's missed three of his last four deadlines and still swears he's on track. The one who goes quiet the moment he's stuck instead of raising his hand. The one who needs the deadline said twice, and the one who never forgives you for saying it twice. An AI reading a transcript knows none of that. It's a faster to-do list. It has never met your team. It never will. You already live this. You still carry 90% of the real weight whether you've hired three people or thirty. Every hard call still lands on your desk, every time. That is not a hiring problem. That is a system that was never taught who anyone actually is. Here's the fix, stripped to what it actually is: One file. Per person. Not a personality writeup. → What they're good at → Exactly how they fail, dated, specific, tracked over months → The rule that follows directly from the failure. Not policy. Consequence. This is the Operating Brain. Not a slide in a deck. A file that gets corrected. A competitor can steal the idea over a weekend. He cannot steal the file. The file only exists after the same mistake gets caught and corrected three separate times, months apart, on a real person. That's the moat nobody is pricing in. Not the model. Not the folder. Not the prompt. What's described and what's actually running are the same thing. Your job is building the business. The Brain's job is never forgetting who's actually in it. Centralize the data first. Build the brain before you build anything else. Everyone chasing the shiny dashboard is going to find this out the expensive way.

Peter C. Pots (@adxflorenceco) reportedI have broken my phone screen to a degree where the device is unusable. If you call me or text me, I will not get it. If you do not know my gmail and would like to contact me, you can DM me here and I will see it at some point. I am thinking of getting a non-smartphone.

The DreamCode Oracle (@TheDreamOracle) reportedDear Mrs. Collins, Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I cannot proceed by email alone. Since you state my funds are being legally held at your New York branch, I would prefer to handle this in person. Please provide the complete legal name of the bank, the physical street address of the branch where my funds are held, the branch telephone number, your banking license information, and the account reference. I will independently verify all of this through publicly available records before visiting the branch myself. Once there, I will present identification, establish ownership of the account, and request that the funds be released directly to me by cashier's check or transferred into my personal bank account. This avoids unnecessary fees, intermediaries, and security risks associated with communicating through Gmail or Outlook email addresses rather than an official bank domain. I have never done business with your institution, so I hope you understand my caution. If the funds genuinely belong to me and are already in your custody, there should be no issue resolving this face-to-face through normal banking procedures. I look forward to receiving the verified branch information so I can arrange my visit.

Emmanuel Oluwatudimu (@emmaxtob) reportedLocked out of my Azure Startup account due to a portal identity error (AADSTS16000) from from a restricted LinkedIn login. My organization has a grant expiring on July 22, but the subscription is marked canceled. Please DM to help me link it directly to my Gmail! @AzureSupport

Muhammad Tukur | MEC (@amiirmu) reported@_MetaEarth_ Innovation is important, but so is trust. Please urgently fix the login issue affecting existing accounts registered with Gmail addresses containing a "+" (plus sign). These were valid accounts, yet many genuine users are now locked out because the same email format is being rejected. Please restore access for affected users. A strong community is built on trust.

BhunuIsLive (@Bhuneshwar763) reportedHey Sir Feature Suggestion for @thefundedroom 🚀 I would like to suggest a feature that could be very beneficial for both creators and users. Currently, referrals only work through referral links. The problem is that many users already have an account on the platform. If they want to support a creator and purchase an account through them, they often can't do so because they have already signed up. A better solution would be to introduce Creator Codes. For example, my creator code could be: BHUNU When a user purchases an account, they could simply enter the creator code at checkout. It wouldn't matter how or when they originally signed up. The purchase would automatically be attributed to that creator. This would provide several benefits: ✅ Existing users could support their favorite creators without creating a new account. ✅ Users would not need to create a new Gmail account just to use a referral link. ✅ Creators could easily track how many customers purchased through their code. ✅ Creators could provide better support and guidance to users who joined through them. Another advantage is that you wouldn't need to offer discounts all the time. Users could simply use the creator code to support their preferred creator. Then, whenever there is a festival, special event, or promotional campaign, you could directly apply any discount or special offer to those creator codes. This would make the system simple, flexible, and easy for everyone to use. Many platforms already use similar systems successfully, including brokers and trading platforms such as Exness, and others. It is simple, user-friendly, and much more convenient than requiring users to sign up again through a referral link. I believe this feature would greatly improve the referral system and create more opportunities for creators while making the process easier for customers.

If you can don't even have them on the same adsense, one goes down it shadow bans the other with it or worse, a related channel claim like in ur case... Always separate channels.

Sukhwinder | Ecom Email Marketing (@HeySukhwinder) reportedMost email marketers will tell you to email more. Daily. Twice daily. "Inbox dominance strategy." I tell my clients to email less. Way less. Here's why the engagement-over-volume philosophy generates more revenue for Shopify brands: A fashion brand doing $340K/month was sending daily emails. 7 emails a week, every subscriber, same content for everyone. Revenue was plateauing. Spam complaints were rising. Unsubscribes were climbing steadily every month. They believed the solution was MORE emails with BETTER offers to compensate for the decline. They were wrong. Here's the engagement math most brands completely miss: Email providers - Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook - track how subscribers interact with your emails. Every ignored email, every delete-without-opening, every spam complaint downgrades your sender reputation. Do the math: 10,000 subscribers at 40% open rate = 4,000 engaged readers 20,000 subscribers at 15% open rate = 3,000 engaged readers The bigger list generates FEWER actual readers. And significantly worse deliverability for the people who actually want your emails. Here's what makes it worse: When your sender reputation drops, your emails start landing in the Promotions tab. Then the Spam folder. Now your most loyal customers - the ones who open, click, and buy - can't find your emails either. You are literally punishing your best subscribers to keep sending to people who stopped caring months ago. It's the email equivalent of shouting at an empty room while the people who want to listen are locked outside. Step 1: Engagement-based pruning. Anyone who hasn't opened an email in 60 days? Suppress them from daily sends. They get a weekly digest instead - your best content, no pressure. Anyone who hasn't opened in 90 days? Move them to a 3-email re-engagement sequence. Real subject lines. Real offers. If they don't re-engage by email 3, sunset them completely. The fashion brand cut their active sending list by 40% immediately. The founder was terrified. Step 2: Frequency matching by engagement tier. High engagers - open and click regularly, buy multiple times: 3-4 emails per week. They want more from you. Medium engagers - open sometimes, rarely click, occasional buyers: 1-2 emails per week. Don't burn them out. Low engagers - open rarely, haven't purchased recently: 1 email per week. Give them your best content. Win them back slowly. Same total content volume. Radically different distribution. A better experience for everyone. The fashion brand's results after 60 days of sending LESS: Total emails sent: down 42% Total email revenue: up 63% Average open rate: 21% → 43% Unsubscribe rate: down 71% Spam complaints: down 58% They sent fewer emails. Made significantly more money. Their most engaged subscribers got MORE of what they actually wanted. More isn't better. Better is better. The brands that win in the inbox aren't the loudest. They're the most intentional. Send less. Send smarter. Target the people who actually want to hear from you. Watch what happens to your revenue. P.S. Shopify brands making +5 figures per month: If you're not leveraging email marketing the right way, you're missing out on higher revenue without more ad spend, a loyal community that actually loves your brand, and fun, engaging emails that sell without feeling like selling. DM me "GROWTH" if you're ready to level up.
