-
Mohammad Siam | Builder (@MohammadSiam21) reportedI built an AI extension that reads your Gmail out loud. Today it broke. 11 users couldn't use it. I fixed it alone. No team. No help. Just me and the error logs. This is what building really looks like. Not launches. Not funding. Just fixing things at night so your users don't notice. Building in public → follow along →
-
Shadowed (@Shadowed_reborn) reported@the_smart_ape Same applies for any third party sign in. Username/password is the best option. If site has email as username, use one from provider wich only has email ie. proton mail), not bunch of other services (ie. gmail) to minimize having it blocked because of something irelevant to email

NotHoodi (@chirag_hoodi) reportedOk @antigravity I'm unable to sign in my gmail account after installing Antigravity 2.0 ?? #GoogleIO

Ezekiel Elom (@ellovick) reported@saidul_dev To add to that, Apps sync every few minutes like your Gmail, Drive, Facebook, etc etc. Or multiple Google accounts syncing everything can also slow your phone.

The Flaming Monocle (@FlamingMonocle) reportedBacked up my OneDrive. No longer need my Office/365/CoPilot/'Whatever it is now' subscription. Home server backups working, just need a new off site backup. Proton looks solid, solves my Gmail migration, too. Still researching. Recommendations welcome.

becca (@beccca_) reported@gmail I cannot recover my account, I’m getting an error message with the 2-step verification. Can someone please assist?
-
Rimsha Bhardwaj (@heyrimsha) reportedStep 5: Audit every account that uses your phone number for login. Go through: - Gmail - Apple ID - Bank accounts - Coinbase or any crypto exchange - Twitter / Instagram - WhatsApp Anywhere your phone number appears as a recovery option is a vulnerability.
-
Sean Mullaney (@seanmullaney) reported4/ Gmail wasn't a better email client. Storage limits weren't a law of nature. They were a cost problem. Google had the capacity to solve it. One insight, and everything followed. Every team is sitting on the same kind of thinking.
-
PPyoonshi 🪼🫧 (@PyaeShi2010) reported@vinserastore If you don't want to log out, don't use it for a moment, but if you are login with gmail, you can delete the app and log in again with that gmail.
-
phil (@phil_3113) reported@Cranberryscause The app has been acting wierd the last month. It started wanting me to sign in with google when I would bring up the app(this account doesn't use gmail). Now the app will just crash on start up. Now the app will come up blank like it's down sometimes.
-
Alexander (@AXalexander14) reported@YouTube ABSOLUTELY NOT! All they had to say is that I’m already in contact with Creator Support on Gmail. Which is frustrating because they say they are ‘best equipped to help resolve this issue.’ But they provided zero help and only said that my channel was already reviewed by their team
-
Dennis Motta (@desno365) reported@andrewchen I am. the main issue is that only verified apps can access gmail and drive, so it will be much harder to set up openclaw/hermes to access your gmail

~Reez (@FareezyCheesy) reportedHonestly learned my lesson with this when I used my university email (Gmail based) to login for everything and then they shut it down 10 years after graduation with no true way to integrate the info into another account
-
TheAsymmetricMind (@asymmetricmind) reported"No more copy-paste nonsense." Great headline. Wrong problem. The problem was never friction. It was authorization. Now Grok has read/write access to your Gmail, Outlook, GitHub, and calendar — and the ad doesn't mention once who authorized what actions it can take on your behalf. Convenience is how you sell it. Control architecture is how you survive it. The Authorization Gap™ doesn't disappear when you add connectors. It scales with them. Hardware enforces. Software begs. Pattern > Noise. 🌹

misi (@tuumalom) reported@tuumalom contemplating whether to call EMS or not since I left the library down town my immune system has been ficked really good by the tiaix crap they sprayed on the terminal all in favor of preventing my efforts of printing a doc off Google Gmail - thyroid throat treachea
-
Ernie Maldonado (@ernielm) reported@taodan @gmail I used to love Inbox. I don't mind Gmail on the Mac that much. The painful part is using it on my iPhone (and it's pretty much the same in Android, so it's not an iOS issue).
-
JioCare (@JioCare) reported@Pravxl_ be available shortly in MyJio. The Google Gemini offer is eligible only on the Google Account (Gmail ID) that was used to activate the Offer. The offer cannot be migrated or transferred to another Google Account (Gmail ID). For issues relating to the Google AI Pro (2/3)

Aditya Patro | Founder, Inference (@AdityaRPatro) reportedGoogle's Universal Cart thing actually feels like a big deal. We've all been there: you're watching YouTube, see something you want, switch to Search, maybe check Gmail for a coupon, and end up with different carts. Half the time, you just give up. Now they're saying one cart for all of it. Search, Gemini, YouTube, whatever. Add once, and it just sits there, no matter where you spotted it. That alone is gonna cut down on so much stupid friction. The AI part is what I'm most hyped about. Gemini watches prices, telling you when something drops, reminding you if stock is running out, even checking if stuff matches or suggesting better options. Plus, it digs into your Wallet for random loyalty points and card perks you forgot you had. It's like having a shopping buddy who actually pays attention. Mind-boggling. For retail and e-commerce, this could quietly change everything. Right now, the whole game is fighting abandoned carts and broken journeys. If Google pulls this off, people stay in the flow longer, buy more, and smaller stores get a shot at customers they never would've reached. Amazon's had the single-cart thing locked down for years, now Google's bringing it everywhere. That pressure is gonna force a lot of sites to play nicer with integrations instead of building their own little walled worlds. I think this is the kind of boring-but-huge shift that actually moves the needle. Shopping becomes less of a task and more of something you just do while living in Google's apps. Summer rollout in the US, I’m gonna test it day one and see if it lives up to the hype. Feels way more real this time. What do you think?

Joe ****** (@jodidogringo) reported@ProtonMail @RealNick95 The problem with Proton is that people need more than one email account in order to operate safely in the digital world. Proton only allows for 1 GB of storage before you need to start paying. Gmail (for now) offers multiple free accounts w/15 GB storage.
