Has the notification mechanism for Nextcloud Talk been fixed so that one can receive notifications in the Talk android app from the F-Droid repository without relying on Google services?
Relying on Google services for notifications is a huge glaring bug that undermines the decentralization, federation, and free-software features of Nextcloud Talk.
Please fix this bug, and announce it loudly, so free-software users can use Talk at last, and recommend it to family and friends!

The thing is that I »know« what it says, but tech headings these days have become such a mumbo jumbo shorthand of previously unrelated words that even connecting which words go together is a feat. 🙂
And I'm saying that as someone who has read tech headings since 2000. Maybe I'm just old, and you kids should get off my lawn...

US people are so scared at the moment.
I can find people who are unhappy about the current political situation in the US, but when I ask them to help resist, they either disappear or get angry with me for asking them to do something that they find terrifying: standing up to bullies.
I can be polite, gentle, kind, understanding. Hey, I get being scared and not feeling ready! Do what you can where you are.
What is disspiriting is having them turn around and furiously tell me off for making them feel badly about themselves: this is not their fault--and, what's wrong with me!
Please, instead of succumbing to shame, take a tiny step and see what you can do!

It's quite difficult here in Canada too -- especially in places near the border (and most of the most populated areas are all near the border).
We (Canadians in general) are not visiting the USA nearly so much any more (down over 30%), and small USA businesses in border towns are suffering very badly as a result.
Americans aren't visiting Canada quite as much either, though only down about 10%. Some are afraid they will have trouble getting home. Some are afraid we're so angry with them that they don't feel safe coming here.
Overall we hear lots from Americans who want to remain our friends, and are just as angry at Trump, but few seem willing or able to actually try to do anything about it other than complain and commiserate.

@Gargron @Sobex One potential obstacle I can see right away is that "putty" is something of a generic term which might make it untrademarkable. Also, "Silly Putty" is a registered trademark (owned by Crayola) and you very well might run into a roadblock there.
You might have to modify the name of the project to something that a Trademark office might consider unique enough to trademark.
But yeah as Gargron as noted, there are services available to help with this process.
