  Just found out @AnthropicAI apparently doesn’t let you change your account email.🙄 Company email → private email? Gmail login → your own domain? Old inbox → new identity? Nope. Cancel the account and start over. That’s not just annoying. That’s your AI memory, history and context locked to an email address.

  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.

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? We hit send and the message arrives. Underneath that is a system with no built-in authentication and optional encryption, which is held together by 50 years of patches. Around 376 billion emails move every day, and close to half are spam. Here is the path each mail takes: 𝟭. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 When we hit send, the client submits the message to a server on port 587, which checks our login, stamps a message-ID, and passes it on. 𝟮. 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 It is store-and-forward. If the receiving server is down, the message waits in a queue and retries on a back-off schedule: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, then hours, up to four or five days. Instant delivery just means the queue cleared fast. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 SMTP carries two "from" values. The envelope (MAIL FROM) routes the message between servers, while the header (From:) is the one we read. SMTP never checks that they match, and that gap is why phishing works. 𝟰. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 SMTP shipped with no way to prove who sent a message. So the industry added SPF (a list of authorized IPs), then DKIM (a cryptographic signature) to cover SPF's gaps, then DMARC to make the visible From: match one of them. Three DNS setups, all easy to misconfigure. 𝟱. 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 Email uses opportunistic TLS. The sending server asks if the receiver supports STARTTLS, encrypts if yes, and falls back to plain text if no. For Gmail or Outlook client connections it is effectively mandatory, but server to server it stays optional. TLS also protects the connection, not the content, so the servers read everything. 𝟲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 A delivered message lands in the inbox, bounces with a 5xx error the sender sees, or gets moved to spam with no notice to anyone. RFC 5321 permits that last one. Email was built in the 1970s for a small network of researchers who trusted each other. Nobody planned for banking or phishing. Billions of messages still arrive correctly every day on top of all of it.

  @asaingainz I just tried it with a blank account and created a gmail to make sure. First I got email, in this image, clicked join discord server then it loaded the page on the right then I click that on the top and it took me to discord and said invite accept. Please let me know if it worked. I just had someone else try and it worked for them as well. I’m not sure if something maybe didn’t go right. Let me check to see if it shows any alerts in my Linktree notifications of granted access

  Gmail tells you your email is "Sent" in a split second - well before it's actually reached the other person, and sometimes before it's even tried. It's not really lying. It's making a promise. Sending mail means talking to the other person's mail server, which might be slow, busy, or down. If Gmail made you sit and wait for that, sending would feel broken. So instead it drops your email into a line and instantly tells you it's done. A separate system in the background picks emails off that line and does the slow work of actually delivering them, trying again if the other server isn't answering. This is called a message queue. Whenever a job is slow or unreliable, you take it, set it aside, and deal with it separately. "Sent" doesn't mean it arrived. It means "we've got it, and we'll get it there."

  Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok agree on almost nothing. They all quietly agreed on MCP. Here's the part nobody's telling you: there are 11,000+ MCP servers live right now, and fewer than 5% make a single dollar. The plumbing is built. The money isn't picked up yet. MCP is basically USB-C for AI. Before it, connecting an AI to your tools meant hand-wiring a custom integration every single time. Now you build one small server and every major AI can plug into it — Gmail, your database, Notion, any API. And you don't even need to be a real engineer anymore. You describe the tool, Claude or ChatGPT writes most of the server, you ship it in a weekend. The playbook is stupidly simple: → Find a boring workflow someone repeats every week → Build one sharp MCP server that kills it → Free tier for reach, paid tier for revenue → Charge per use, per seat, or per outcome Servers that actually solve something are pulling $500–3K/mo. Some hit $10K in six weeks. Built once, sold on repeat. The window where "understands MCP + ships one tool" is rare won't stay open long. The marketplace is empty. Be the one who fills it.

  You click unsubscribe, the emails keep coming, and you assume the button is decoration. It's actually a hard 48-hour deadline, and the reason the emails keep coming anyway is dumber than you think. The button fires a real HTTP POST request at the sender's server the moment you click it. The request body is a single line: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click. Then Google gives the company 48 hours to comply. That window is why the button feels fake. The emails already queued in the company's send pipeline still land. You unsubscribe Monday, get hit Tuesday and Wednesday, and conclude nothing happened. The second reason: companies run separate lists. Unsubscribing from "Weekly Deals" leaves you enrolled in "Product Updates," "Partner Offers," and the four other streams they added you to at checkout. Each one needs its own click. Here's what actually makes senders comply. Since February 2024, anyone sending 5,000+ emails a day to Gmail must support one-click unsubscribe and keep spam complaints under 0.3%. Cross that line and Gmail can block the entire domain. In November 2025, Google started rejecting non-compliant senders outright. So run the math from the company's side. One unsubscribe costs them a subscriber. One spam report moves them toward the number that kills their whole email channel. Three complaints per thousand sends is the death zone. Google built the unsubscribe button as a pressure valve. Every click on it is a spam complaint that never got filed.

  @RVRSRNNG @KarlMaxxed I think that wasn't limited to Gmail; several products use it for the same reason I mentioned: to show data as quickly as possible when the internet is slow. In any case, if I open the calendar in the browser, it shows the UI we're already familiar with, not that one.

  Simple as ABC. If you’re trying to set up your Adsense and you notice your network is ******. Don’t proceed. If you proceed and you eventually get a step two error first time. Don’t reapply with the same details or email or phone number. (This is after you get a step 2 error once) - close the Adsense account registered with the Gmail. - close the Google payment details (sometimes you’d find 2, close them all) - after closing both, your CHANGE ASSOCIATION on YouTube studio will disappear. - to make the CHANGE ASSOCIATION come back, you have to go back and reactivate the closed Adsense account. - after reactivating, wait a while until CHANGE ASSOCIATION comes back. - once the CHANGE ASSOCIATION comes back….get a new Email, a totally different fresh details, and fresh phone number. - make sure your network is good. And healthy. And proceed to register with the new email, details and phone number ( the new email has to be logged in on your device so you can click it) - after submitting, go back and close the Adsense you reactivated. And you’re done. Thanks

  @JD_Vyvanse i think alot of new businesses have issues with gmail/email deliverability and domain warmth - if you create an account and overnight create huge amounts of volume you get flagged. this screws up sends because they get flagged as trash or spam.

  Great, so two services I use, @MEGAprivacy and @ProtonPrivacy, are using the same lame ***, engagement faking social media company I mean, they can't even get BRAND colors right So let me guess, this is how lame asses run They get a client that has a service they want to target and infiltrate. Through that, they make contacts within the company and find out who is for sale and or is easily compromised. Then they use that person to get access to or target whatever they want. And I say that because after years or using Mega sync, my account is not syncing. It's not a "glitch, it's a pattern. It seems like someone has an admin organization access to my Proton account because I can't access organizational features that I should be able to I'm told nothing is wrong with the account I report a STOLEN HOUSE to the Oregon AG, I get a response from Rachel Viggiano, office support specialist and wannabe actress that the Oregon Attorney General "doesn't handle such things." No one needs high tech hacking skills when there is an easily corruptible human available that is far more useful Lame asses just access @gmail accounts at will. They can't do that with Proton, so they have to find someone to give them access. And while all the emails may be encrypted, if someone is added as a user, or owner, to the account, then they would actually have access. You can have all the protocols and security in the world. But as any church administrator or pastor can tell you, the real danger is from within, because that is where there is built in trust Security protocols are the first step, but the real rest of the integrity of any organization is what they do when those protocols fail and a human is a human and acts on that fallen human nature. As we continually see, a far too high number of churches fail in that regard Companies have to decide if they will choose the path of light and transparency or continue in darkness

  You don't have a deliverability problem. You have a dead-weight problem. Every subscriber who hasn't opened in 90 days is a vote telling Gmail you're ignorable. Cut them. Inbox placement follows engagement, not list size.
