Dominick Moxon-Tritsch 🚡 (@DomMoxonTritsch) reportedOk @Strava you have removed Facebook login. When I login using the Gmail address from my FB account, I get a completely different Strava account. Your @StravaSupport hasn't responded in a week to a ticket and your chatbot has a brain injury. What a way to treat a paying customer

Charli (@charliwtquirks) reported@sankalpt921 @sama Pretty much the point I am sick to death of being a different person in 456,987 environments and remembering which Gmail I used to sign in to what or was it LinkedIn

Aleksandr Fulha (@fulhadev) reported@browser_use session isolation > CDP-readability. one logged-in profile shared across agents = next agent inherits gmail/stripe/aws auth. per-task cookie jar declared upfront — same scope-flag pattern as fs mounts. stealth fixes anti-bot, doesn't fix the cross-task auth bleed.

vova (@dtcvova) reportedbest campaigns to run on Google right now for ecom are Demand Gen no search volume ceiling, runs on YouTube, Discover, Gmail, way less saturated than Meta, and the brands spending $100k/mo on it are seeing CPAs that would have been impossible on those surfaces 2 years ago but I keep having the same conversation with brands who tried it and said it didn't work and every single time it's the same thing, they sent cold YouTube traffic straight to a product page these people were not searching for you. you interrupted them mid scroll. a product page built for someone who typed "buy protein powder" into Google is not built for someone who was watching a fitness video and saw your ad sales pages. advertorials. problem aware copy that earns the click before it asks for the sale the format works. most brands just send traffic to the wrong destination and blame the format

Alireza Talakoubnejad (@websterkaroon) reportedPeople in Iran have Gmail. And use Google Search. And use Google Maps. Some things have local alternatives & when the internet gets disrupted there's issues but Google is a terrible example here.

Harshit Khosla (@Harry_The_Nerd) reportedIf you have noticed, Gmail knows instantly if a username is taken. No loading spinner or delay... just a quiet little ✅ or ❌ as you type. Here's the brief post about insane engineering behind that tiny moment: First, Gmail doesn't check on every keystroke. That'd be chaos. Instead it uses "DEBOUNCING" . It waits for you to pause ( approx. 400ms) before doing anything. Seems small, but this alone cuts like 90% of unnecessary requests. Then, the moment you pause, a lightweight AJAX/HTTP request silently fires to a dedicated microservice. Not a general server. To service that exists purely to answer: "Does this username exist?" It returns something like { available: false } ...that's it. Tiny payload. On the backend, Gmail isn't running a SQL query like SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'harry. That would be extremely slow at Google scale (billions of accounts). Instead, usernames are stored in Bigtable - Google's distributed NoSQL database. Here the username is the key. So the lookup is O(1). Direct. Like checking a dictionary, not reading a whole book. And because popular usernames get checked millions of times a day, results are cached in-memory. The answer often never even touches the database. On top of that, Google's edge servers mean your request barely travels. It hits infrastructure geographically close to you, so network latency is almost zero. So what feels like magic is actually: debounce -> microservice -> edge routing -> in-memory cache -> Bigtable key lookup -> response, all in under 100ms. The best engineering is the kind you never notice. That little checkmark? Decades of distributed systems thinking, invisible to the user.

BeLikeMikeDaily🎙 (@BeDaylee) reportedDuring all of the Podesta emails scandal it was discovered that many people used the same gmail account. Each would log in, respond to an email and save it in drafts. The next person would login, respond and save it in the 'Drafts' folder.' They thought that was pretty slick

underwaterfish (@morefishoil) reported@jarrodwatts Build the thing you keep almost-building and giving up on because it'd "take too long" — that's literally what these credits are for. For me it's an MCP server that cleans email triage rules across Gmail and Outlook with one prompt. Boring but I'd actually use it.

Cheng Eden (@CEden35980) reported@TeamYouTube I need technical help. My newly created Gmail account (used for AdSense) was suspended by Google and has now been successfully appealed/restored. However, my YT channel's Step 2 is still stuck on "Error" with no button to reconnect or fix. Please Help!

ap ⌘ indie dev (@anhphong_dev) reportedgemini-native gmail closes one shape of the gap (agent uses my real inbox), but ephemeral and synthetic inboxes are a different problem - per-workflow scoping, disposable ids for signup tests, anti-correlation so all agent traffic doesn't tie back to one human address. those still need a service. native + ephemeral feel orthogonal.
-
Peter F. @petedkth.bsky.social (@FPetet) reportedIt's the same with Microsoft. I hardly ever use Microsoft login, but I needed to today. As I haven't logged in on this PC before they wanted to send a pin code to my Gmail. More than 1 hour later, I am still waiting for that pin code. I have tried to resend 3 times.

Ben Fitterman (@benfitterman) reported"My open rates are low. It has to be deliverability." AKSHUALLY… not always. Let me show you. Last week I was deep in a client's account. 20% open rate on Gmail. Dangerously low.. Domain reputation at Google? High. Inbox placement test? 100% inbox. Spam complaint rate? None. (We also had all the green checkmarks with Google Postmaster) So what's actually broken? The list had been sitting untouched for 6 months before we took over. Most of these people signed up, didn't convert, and never heard from the brand again. Then we showed up in their inbox after half a year of silence. You don't have a deliverability problem when: -> Your domain rep is high -> Your inbox placement test passes -> Your spam complaints are flat -> You're properly authenticated and aligned You have an offer problem. Or an audience problem. Or a "your product still doesn't solve their problem" problem. None of which a warmup strategy can fix. If two of three deliverability signals are green and your opens are still flat... The email isn't broken. The reason to open it is.
