first I read “AI Qaida”, but maybe there’s something to that too

others have mentioned microG, but if that does not answer your question it may help to concretize what services you need from the google services stack. this page has a table on what services did the microG project implement so far, it may help in deciding on what exact services do you need

for push notifications I recommend ntfy or another UnifiedPush-based solution, but be aware that ntfy’s official instance but probably the mozilla instance too is being hosted in the USA. if that’s a problem, the ntfy app let’s you set a custom ntfy server (find a public one or host it yourself), and all apps should handle it without difficulties which register at the Ntfy app after you made this change.
with UnifiedPush, there’s no central point of failure like with google firebase, all services get told where to send the notifications, and that is determined by the “UnifiedPush Distributor” app on your phone (of which the Ntfy app is an implementation, along with SunUp and NextPush, they are also distributors)

haven’t seen a single source so far for any claims, other then a justin timberlake clip disguised as a source

This is what needs discussion. It is this tool which will lead to harassment due to the way someone votes.

wrong. voting users are already visible through other services, like mbin. and the information is already there, those who are really interested are already scraping it, this just makes it more accessible and also serves as an eye opener

I find this whole thing weird because some federating platforms (like mbin I think) already show voting users publicly

well that I can agree on. still, personally I would choose neither, and I hope the EU won’t take them as examples

never said anything about the US, but fuck that too

defend the surveillance state! live to work, and to praise the Great Leader!

they are using zoom? eww

yeah on windows its… limited. you can make virtual playback devices (speakers) with programs like vb-cable to separate them. you can then set up monitoring for them so that you hear it and… you can’t mix it with your mic so that’s no good.

there was also Synchronous Audio Router. but it’s buggy and microsoft made sure it never ever gets an update

I would prefer the setup to be easy on the client side

you mean for the viewers, right? this shouldn’t make any complications for them

I see and I support that. but at 2 out of 3 places I have seen, context was missing making it harder to understand your message

this comment made sense at one place, but if you just copy it to other responses like here people won’t understand what do you mean.

tbh, this seems a bit… defensive 🧐

Technically you can. you can select the window to be shared, or a whole desktop, and if you are on linux and use the pipewire sound system (a lot of places it’s the default nowadays) you can use qpwgraph or similar tools to connect the outputs of a game to the browser’s audio sink. it can also be automated

you can configure both quality and fps, but I think fps can’t go above 30.

you could use OBS to PeerTube. you might have to search for an instance that allows unlisted streams though, if you don’t want it to be public

I sometimes go ducking on the internet to figure out what audio ducking means, because I hate google

it may be because of the browser’s user agent. Changing that may help, to make of believe that you are on an apple device

well because on android 14 nearly half of the apps ignore the rotation lock. thanks google!

oh, no, I hear it John Lemmy is just around the corner!

you can turn off the google stuff

until google allows that
