  the ugly web dev history, frontend. I was ignorant of JavaScript and frontend tech, from 1999 to 2010. am a web backend dev in 1998. back then, professional programers sneer JavaScript (and php). except, those big corp actually need to use it sans choice, such as gmail, google map, amazon, ebay. (the need to update page sans reloading the whole page.) Only when Node.js in 2009 By Ryan Dahl, changed things. It introduced the async, which puzzled and derided by most programers. (async, a pain in the ***. One of the worst thing in programing language history, still so today, even with latest await etc. Reason is because js is single threaded. Async is a pretend fix on this concurrency issue.) In 2010 js did not have a library system. (nor did php, scheme lisp, for the first 10 years of their life. emacs lisp has no module/namespace to this day.) Commonjs and amdjs module system mess got introduced in the wild. A very complicated mess, which created concepts like bundlers (browserify, webpack), code repo and package manager (bower, npm), task runners (gulp). npm is a corp greed, designed so that 1 line code is considered a lib, to promote its popularity. Then in 2015, js finally had some basic features, such as real local scoped variable (let), real dictionary/hashtable/map data structure. but for reason, the JavaScript committee refused a “use new js”. (google chrome dev got stun by a “use strict”.) So, one thousands warts of js, stay in js. (such as var, use strict, string is utf16 and all methods cant deal with emoji, no real array masking as magical object with magical length. etc.) JavaScript landscape, is really 30 years of **** pile due to a in-10-days mistake. But cpp is worse.

  @TeamYouTube My previous phone was completely destroyed. Even though I successfully enter the 2FA SMS code, Google says "Could not verify that you own this account". The system is totally broken since May 1st. Please help me recover my Gmail and channel (@enes3292).

  How to scope MCP permissions per agent, not globally. The isolation pattern most AI agent builders skip. Most setups: one set of MCP credentials shared across every agent in the workspace. Your research agent, your writing agent, and your deploy agent all have the same access to Gmail, GitHub, Slack, and your filesystem. If any one agent is compromised, the attacker inherits everything. The fix: per-agent credential isolation. 🔵 Each agent gets only the MCP servers it actually needs 🔵 Each MCP server connection uses credentials scoped to that agent's role 🔵 Your research agent gets read-only access. Your deploy agent gets write access. Neither sees the other's credentials. How to implement: 🔵 Create separate credential files per agent role 🔵 Mount only the relevant credentials into each agent's environment 🔵 Use different API keys per MCP server per agent where the server supports it The pattern: principle of least privilege, applied to AI agent MCP connections. One compromised agent should never cascade to everything.

  The uncomfortable truth: Gmail has 2 billion users. It's the most-used email platform on earth. Free. Powerful. Updated continuously by Google. And 95% of those 2 billion users have never opened Settings past the first page. They receive 85 emails a day in one flat list. They scroll. They miss things. They feel overwhelmed. They blame email itself "I hate email" when the problem was never email. It was configuration. Gmail ships unconfigured on purpose. A configured Gmail reduces time-on-platform. An unconfigured Gmail keeps you scrolling, clicking, searching, and spending 2 hours doing what 35 minutes could handle. Google measures engagement. Efficiency works against engagement. The productivity coach's last line: "I've organized 400+ inboxes. The pattern is always the same. The person is smart, successful, and drowning in email. They blame themselves 'I'm bad at email.' They're not. Gmail shipped them a race car with every setting on neutral. Nobody told them to shift gears. 9 settings. 20 minutes. The email problem you've had for 6 years solved in one afternoon. The inbox was never the problem. The defaults were." 12,847 unread emails. 20 minutes in Settings. 23 that needed attention. The Settings page has been there for 20 years. The features have been free since day one. The inbox you've been fighting was always one afternoon away from peace. Open Settings tonight. Change 9 things. The inbox finally works for you instead of against you.

  @Amy_90_x That happened to me for a while. I use a gmail to log in and the problem was the Google account which kept getting suspected fraud alerts.

  @openshipio @liamgadams You guys are simply liars. I can bet $10000 right now that more than half of your emails went to spam, and 100% of them when sending to gmail and outlook went to spam. You try talking to people that have issues with emails, but they all know about the White listing mafia.

  @WatcherJanus @sentosumosaba We have a few pilots in limited capacity. That’s like saying the government is testing out email on a specific server and using that as a predictive marker about the future success of Gmail. I say this not just about XRPL or XRP, but with crypto in general

  @asif_sapui You have to download older version of it for example 12.7.0. Download the apk file. Then login to twitter on this old version. After that you will be able to login to BGMI. Once you login to BGMI, kindly make sure to link with gmail account. Thanks

  I gave a Claude artifact write access to my Gmail. The permission box said one word: Gmail. This launch says the apps "take actions for each viewer." I built one to see what that means. It declared two Gmail tools: one that reads your threads, one that creates drafts in your account. The approval screen doesn't tell you which is which. It names the connector, never the actions. Reading your mail and writing to it show the same checkbox and the same line: "only continue if you trust this app." The rest is genuinely locked down. The page never sees your login, it can only call the tools it declared, and it can't be shared publicly. That leaves one real control: "trust this app." The screen gives you no way to judge whether you should. You're not approving Gmail. You're approving whatever the app can do with it.

  @ntahzu Hi, Thanks for reaching out to us. Due to a current error with 60+ Photocard accounts receiving auto emails for emails at iCloud and Microsoft domains, one solution to this would be to use an unaffected email domain, such as Gmail. If this was not the issue, then you will need to call the Photocard team at 0343 222 1234 between 08:00 and 20:00. Thanks, EB

  Bit of a rant. This is not actually true. There is no reasonable way anymore as a functioning user of the internet to prevent an image to going into AI. If it’s transferred online it’s in an AI in fact congrats you’ve broken and nullified your own terms. Have windows or a mac… it’s been scanned. Transferred over discord? Scanned. Emailed? Likely scanned by both email accounts (especially google with gmail). Did you post it literally anywhere publically online? If another user can see it so can an AI. It’s also been through both your ISPs don’t think they won’t also sell your data. Next, copyright ownership is implied when you are purchasing especially if you are a ‘work for hire’. But let’s table that because it’s a difference of opinion and many judges and lawyers would give you differing stances on this. So let’s move onto legal enforcement, you can’t stop the person from using the model and there is no damages for a financal lawsuit. Without actual enforcement none of this matters. But let’s pretend you all brigade the vtuber and kill their channel, whelp you will lose your career cuz nobody is hiring your *** again. Also now on top of that they have a nice little lawsuit for you with damages because there is provable financial damages since they can project the money off his or her earnings. Lastly the obvious… you are making everyone’s point. This is why people are using AI in the first place. You are being an insufferable sub-human rat who can’t simply get along and be normal. You can’t just be low maitenance and get the commission done quickly and without strings attached and start a healthy transactional relationship with your customers. They are coming to you in good faith and you are looking for ways to screw them over your own brain worms. You instead try to control the situation from the person you are getting payment from which you should feel indebted to because they are giving you an opportunity. If you are more effort than the alternative (which is free btw) then you are not getting hired. You are not entitled to anyone’s money and we are not forced to deal with you. What you offer isn’t so impressive that you can make any demands. To artists, if you love art then shut up, hone your craft, have fun. Draw what you hired to draw, and if you don’t like the commission don’t take it. Don’t cause problems or make demands. If you deviate from this, you get nothing and deserve nothing. But if get along with nearly everyone else people will want to hire you because many of your fellow artists are this level of insufferable.

  Microsoft is so ****. Pushing copilot on me but literally Outlook is so bad that when I search for an email I sent someone last week it doesn’t come up. I can see the email in my sent items, but MSFT can’t find it. Gmail doesn’t have these issues and it’s free vs expensive O365
