Every time I try to create a post on LinkedIn I get this — "Oops - we were unable to complete your request. Please try again later."

Already tried everything before posting here:

Force closed and reopened the app, cleared cache, switched between WiFi and mobile data, waited and tried later, reinstalled the app.

Still the same error. Every single time.

Posting is literally one of the most basic things on LinkedIn. Has anyone else faced this? Did anything actually fix it?

Two things I've noticed with Lumo AI that are getting frustrating.

First — PNG files are not supported. I tried uploading a simple screenshot (PNG image) and got "Unsupported file type." PNG is one of the most common image formats out there. Claude, ChatGPT, DeepSeek — all of them handle PNG without any issue. For an AI app in 2026, this feels like a basic thing that should already be working.

Second — the loading issue is still not fixed. Every time I close the app and reopen it, there's a refresh/loading phase that takes way too long. Proton's team acknowledged this on Reddit and said an update was coming, but it's still the same. Claude and DeepSeek open in seconds. Lumo still feels sluggish every single time.

Both of these together make the experience feel unpolished compared to other AI apps.

Is anyone else facing the same issues? Especially the PNG support — has anyone found a workaround? Would love to know if JPEG works at least.

India finally got a data protection law in 2023. But the more you look at it, the more you realise how many gaps it has. Sharing this here because IFF has been doing important work in this space and I genuinely think these points need more public attention.

1. Privacy Policy & Terms of Service changed without proper notice

This happens all the time. An app quietly updates its Privacy Policy or ToS and the user has no idea. No clear notification, no re-consent required. The DPDP Act doesn't make this strict enough. Users deserve to know when something changes — not find out months later buried in an email they never opened.

2. The Independent Regulator is too weak

The Data Protection Board is not truly independent. It's appointed by the government, which creates a conflict of interest. A regulator that can't act freely against powerful entities — government or corporate — is not really a regulator.

3. No Right to Be Forgotten

If I want a company to delete everything about me permanently, I should have that right clearly protected by law. The DPDP Act doesn't give Indian citizens a strong, enforceable Right to be Forgotten. Europe's GDPR does this properly. Why can't we?

4. Data Portability is too limited

I should be able to take my data from one platform and move it to another easily. Right now Data Portability under DPDP is vague and limited. This directly hurts competition and locks users into platforms.

5. Cross Border Data Transfer Rules are weak

Companies can transfer Indian users' data to other countries fairly easily. There's no strong requirement to ensure the other country has equivalent data protection standards. This means your data could end up somewhere with zero accountability.

6. Deemed Consent Loopholes

The Act allows companies to assume consent in several situations — this is dangerous. Consent should always be explicit, informed, and freely given. "Deemed consent" is just a legal way of saying the company doesn't really need to ask you.

Some questions worth asking:

— How many Indian users actually know their rights under DPDP Act 2023?

— If the Data Protection Board is government-appointed, who holds the government accountable when they misuse data?

— Why does India's law still lag behind GDPR on basic rights like Right to be Forgotten?

— Will companies ever be penalised seriously for changing ToS without proper user consent?

— When will Data Portability become a real right and not just a vague mention in the law?

Tagging this for IFF's attention — @internetfreedom.in has been pushing for digital rights in India for years. These weak points need to be challenged loudly before companies and the government get too comfortable with this version of the law.

Would love to hear what others think. Are there more loopholes I missed?

I've been using Pocket FM for a while now and something has been bothering me for months. A few features that actually made the app useful for finding good stories just quietly disappeared in 2025 — no explanation, nothing.

Voice Artist Search is gone.

Before, you could search by a Voice Artist's name. That was honestly one of the most useful things on the app. Now the search bar only says "Search by Title and Genre." But how is a listener supposed to know the title of a story they've never heard? Especially when it's new?

Other users' Review/Rating section is blank.

Visiting someone's profile and seeing what stories they rated used to be the easiest way to discover quality content. Now that section shows nothing. This feature alone helped me find so many good stories.

Human voice stories are getting buried.

The home page is dominated by AI-voiced content now. Original human narration is still there but you have to really dig to find it. For listeners who specifically prefer human voices, this is a bad experience.

All three of these together have made story discovery on Pocket FM so much harder than it used to be. Anyone else noticing this? And has anyone heard anything from the Pocket FM team about this?

Dear Proton Mail Team,

I am a loyal Proton Mail user and would like to request an important feature that would greatly improve email communication and organization.

Feature Request: Email Priority Levels When Composing

Currently, Proton Mail does not allow users to set a priority level when composing an email. I would like to request the addition of email priority options such as:

- Low Priority

- Medium Priority

- High Priority

Why This Feature Is Important:

When we send an email, not every email has the same level of urgency. For example:

- A casual message = Low Priority

- A work update = Medium Priority

- An urgent request or deadline = High Priority

When the sender marks an email as High Priority, the receiver immediately understands that this email requires urgent attention. This avoids miscommunication and delays.

Real-World Example:

Zoho Mail already offers this feature — users can select the priority level while composing an email. It is a simple but very effective feature for professional communication.

How It Would Work:

- A priority selector (Low / Medium / High) in the email composer

- The recipient sees a priority indicator next to the email in their inbox

- High Priority emails could optionally appear at the top of the inbox

This feature would make Proton Mail more powerful for professional and business users while keeping it simple for personal use.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards,

A Proton Mail User
