So Google replaced Chat with Workspace on my OnePlus 6T, and Workspace Chat and Email features are TOTALLY broken.

I'm enormously pissed off, of course. But I have one option left to try. I've been refusing to update the OS for about three years now (the phone is seven years old), but if I can't use Chat I'm going to be forced to get a new phone.

Before I do that, I'll update the OS and see what happens. But I think I'll wait until I'm ready to buy a new phone, just in case.

I'd rather get a FairPhone, but apparently they don't work with AT&T. So I may get de-Googled Pixels instead. That's what my son is lobbying me for.

Is it just me, or does the new #Google Chat logo look like a smiling Leonardo?

Google has successfully broken Google Chat, or Gmail Chat, or Gchat, or whatever the hell it is this week. They reached into my phone and replaced the working Gmail Chat with Google Workplace, which is completely broken.

And it's not just my phone. They did the same thing to my son's phone. I've been expecting Google to do something like this for quite a while, so it's time for me to find a new chat or messaging app to use with friends and family.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

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.

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?

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.

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?

I'm surprised that neither #Signal nor #GoogleMessages support multiple reactions on a message. I've gotten used to it on #GoogleChat.
