#googlechat — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #googlechat, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Google has removed voice and video chat from Google Chat, and stuck them in Google Meet instead. Without telling anyone, apparently. There certainly wasn't a notification in Google Chat. And that function was there a week ago, so this is very recent.

    I want to see every Google executive hung from a lamppost before I die.

  5. On the #xmpp front, I know if it were different times under different thoughts on interoperability, but wouldn't gchat and facebook messenger just need to remove their walls to make them interoperable?

  10. The new threads feature that Google shoved into Gchat (or whatever the hell they're calling it now) has been wildly successful at making the app annoying. It's basically impossible NOT to accidentally start a thread when chatting with someone.

    And then you're off in that thread while the other person thinks you're not responding at all. And you think they're not responding. It brings absolutely nothing good to the experience, and everything bad.

    So it's basically got another point where I'm considering alternatives. Can anyone recommend some? I'm looking for something that's not too hard to use, because some of the people I chat with are not exactly technophiles. But it would be nice to have the option to send and receive images, as well as basic formatting options like italics and boldfacing.

    I probably don't need to say this, but there's no way in hell I will ever use Facebook Messenger. Never never never. Nor am I interested in anything owned by a billionaire.

    Speaking of getting away from Google, this was another day with effectively no YouTube. So that's good.

  14. Just took a look at the Chrome devtools (because Google-Chat) is broken and noticed this monstrosity in request headers:

    X-Browser-Copyright: Copyright 2025 Google LLC. All Rights reserved.

    When and why did they start this non-sense? Why would any http server care about that?
