    Let me give you my take about the fud some people are on about @RealBucketShop First off, all of this is hand-made :) not written by some language model, and not addressed to those living organisms who are trying to make a living out of throwing dirt at others with a broken heart and soul. if they take what they can take, thats on them. If you want to learn how cool it is to KNOW, and protect yourself from false information, continue reading. if you dont, just stop right here, and all the best for ya. It will be so easy to comprehend as I will give solid examples. Regarding "similarities". Real edge in businesses whether its small or big, primarily comes from "variety" and "solving more problems", the ones who trusts their position like it doesnt change, and dont improve, were cannibalized at the end of the day.. Let me give you some examples, since im some 40+ year old.. Zoom.. It came after Skype (never heard?), when video meetings were booming.. but after that, Zoom made it way simpler, more reliable, more businessy. Photo sharing.. It already existed on Facebook, but Instagram made it mobile first, visuals first, and built an entire social network out of it. Fun fact. Social networking was also present before Facebook, and people used it for long years, Myspace! Do you know Myspace? It was SUPERB!.. Moving on.. Google, you think there was no search engine before? Have you ever heard of Altavista, or even Yahoo? No? Okay. Now you know Google made it faster, and performed much better at ranking results, and started pioneering.. Gmail is also after Yahoo mail, note that as well.. (same mechanics? :)) not finished.. another one most of you never heard, is Napster. Do you know what Napster was? Digital music was already there, but new SaaS models, like Spotify, Youtube Music, etc. today is ruling that environment. Again, not finished.. Have you ever heard Craigslist? People were posting rentals, jobs, the whole shebang.. meaning, home and room rentals were already there, but AIRBNB still appeared, no? have you ever heard the founders story? how they got influenced? INFLUENCED? thats your homework. go check it out. hint: craigslist :) Another hilarious part, fudding with UI.. oh, dear. just know how they want to play with perceptions, living in spider web, and still decide on your own. examples, right. uniswap, sushiswap, pancakeswap and tons of other dexs REALLY USE SO DIFFERENT UIs WOW! so they dont use basic token in and out swap card because there are soooo many ways to present a sensible swap? :) instagram, tiktok, yt shorts? no? full screen vertical media with engagement button on the side? no? no? but no? :) amazon? and rest 93842943829423834298432 e-commerce sites? image to title to cart to purchase, almost identical listing, and flow? again, no? :) okay and the last one.. coinbase, kraken and binance. maybe they are structurally similar too, because order books, charts, balances, and what not have natural places to go? but really. one thing. Samsung, after Apple? no? :) take good care of yourself, and your family. all the best.

    @EmmanuelAfula @EmmanuelAfula Please look into the Celia App OTP delivery bug! Those of us using Yahoo Mail are completely locked out because the system isn’t sending verification codes to Yahoo now. We need an alternative login option or a way to switch our emails to Gmail. @CeliaWallet 🚨

    I'm trying to add storage to my Yahoo mail account, but when I pretty the button, it says "This Option is not available in your area." I can't add storage and they'll shut me down tomorrow. WHAT CAN I DO.

    PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.

    @kmcnam1 That can't be true. They did used to ask you to upgrade to get more storage. Until the past coupl years, my problem with Yahoo mail was their awful spam detector that let spam and phishing emails get through.

    I use all of them expect for iCloud mail. But if I had to go narrowing it down to only one to choose from, I'd say I would either pick out Gmail or Yahoo mail

    @Flexycoll6 Hello Mr flexy. I can see that SCT do sometimes respond to your comments or request. Pls kindly help help us who signed up using Yahoo mail by letting the SCT to know that we are not receiving the otp and so we couldn't login. Pls don't just pretend as if everything is fine.

    @yahoomail this latest update is rubbish. The font is dreadful and difficult to read and the new design is not at all helpful. The old version was great and did the job well. This is rubbish. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Please stop tinkering and give us the old version back.

    Popular Services/Messengers That Are Typically NOT (Fully) End-to-End EncryptedThese are the ones affected by scanning under the current EU Chat Control setup which has passed today in the EU: Email services (most standard ones): - Gmail (Google) - Outlook/Hotmail (Microsoft) - Yahoo Mail - iCloud Mail (Apple, standard) - Many others without E2EE enabled - Facebook/Instagram Messenger (standard mode) — Often not fully E2EE unless "Secret Conversations" are turned on - Skype (standard chats) — Microsoft can access content. - Snapchat — Chats and snaps are not E2EE by default (some features have it, but not comprehensively) - Telegram (standard/cloud chats) — Encrypted between device and server, but Telegram holds the keys and can access content. Only "Secret Chats" are protected. - Discord — Messages are not E2EE; the company can moderate/scan - Older/traditional SMS/MMS — Completely unencrypted. - Xbox Live messaging and some gaming platforms. - Cloud storage/file sharing tied to chats (e.g., Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive in some contexts) — Often scanned Let that sink in ! allegedly to fight against child abuse

    @MrNJ39 @yahoomail Agreed. This version is rubbish. The font is dreadful and is counter intuitive. The previous version was fine. Nothing wrong with it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It wasn’t. Please give us the old, good version back.

    Most people "fled" from using Yahoo mail once "Yahoo Yahoo" became the moniker for Nigerian internet fraudsters and scammers. Occurred to me recently that I never had a problem with Yahoo and will probably create a Yahoo account again too. Gmail is stressing me out as well, constantly asking me to buy more storage.
