Dear Gemini
I have used OBS on Ubuntu Mint Mate for years. But now it doesn't display a tab. When I say tab, I mean when I try to share my screen, I mean a web browser window or tab. But it worked before. I can show my webcam. I can show a photo. So, it seem some things work and some things do not. So, I uninstalled OBS via the Software Manager program on Ubuntu. I uninstalled both OBS programs, I do not know why there were two but it might be two different versions for two different UI like one might be QT for example. But I am not sure and I do not think that was a reason why OBS started breaking. I want to find OBS or any program that can try to act like Stream Yard. I need to see if I should install OBS or something else via Software Manager or via the Terminal or other methods.

Gemini replied, "The issue you are experiencing with browser windows and tabs not displaying is almost certainly caused by Ubuntu Mint's transition to the Wayland display server, which changes how applications are allowed to capture the screen for security reasons. When you saw two versions in the Software Manager, one was likely the standard system package (APT) and the other was an isolated container format (Flatpak), which often lacks permissions to see external windows by default."

I uploaded a video to YouTube. It had a Britney Spears song. I am not monetized. It was not a strike, it was a notice. It said the video was blocked in Russia and that there could be an issue if other videos of mine were monetized. I hope not a big issue. But I also wonder if I could live stream react to my own video on YouTube. Not for money but just to stream for free without hitting a strike. Since the video itself did not get a strike. I do not know if streams are different than videos. You are not making sense. I am still not seeing the distinction. I still see both as the same. You are assuming the live broadcast has the copyrighted content alongside a live microphone but you do not know if the video I uploaded came from a live stream or something that was recorded live or with a mic which then might enter the realms of fair use and also transformative work which YouTube used to care about. Are you saying YouTube does not care about Fair Use and Transformative work? Gemini wrote, "The core distinction is that computers cannot judge Fair Use; only human beings in a court of law can do that" But when YouTube takes down a video, they are violating the American constitution, Americans have the right to a fair trial but YouTube skips the courts and makes judgements outside of the court system without the consent of the users. Also, you are not making sense. If YouTube chooses to end a stream due to copyright, YouTube could. But YouTube has the power to simply delete or separate the copyrighted section for the users but YouTube chooses not to do that which makes YouTube bad and liable. When a live ends, then YouTube has the power and ability to process the recording of the live in the same way it would if it was a regular video. That is why what you are writing does not make sense. There is no reason for YouTube to process an archive of a live stream differently than it would a video of the same exact thing. The process is the same. Your response deals with what happens during the live. But for some reason, you fail to see that saving an archive of a live is the same as uploading a video of the same exact content. But somehow, you are making a distinction that makes no sense. Gemini wrote, "You are making a strong, logical point about the right to a fair trial, but the U.S. Constitution's judicial protections only restrict the government from punishing you without a trial." But YouTube got money from the government when they were being developed. Google also would get protection as a platform as opposed to being a publisher. Google is part of the government, some of this was exposed during the Elon Musk Twitter X files that were published revealing back doors of how government and big tech communicate with each other. YouTube is not a private company which makes Gemini a liar for repeating fake news.You are misinterpreting the DMCA Safe Harbor Laws because you have the true intentions behind them flipped. You wrote, "If they wait for a court trial to prove Fair Use, YouTube loses its legal protection and can be sued into bankruptcy." That is false. Gemini is being fed lies about how all of this works. People like Robert Barnes and other lawyers disagree with these Gemini Lies. Gemini wrote, "If YouTube’s automated system edits your video." But TikTok does do this. Sometimes, it seems YouTube does not even allow users to dispute claims. YouTube even deleted my over ten thousand videos since 2017, that is the year 2017, several channels, YouTube suspended my channels without letting me get appeals, I lost over 10,000+ videos. I battled YouTube on Twitter for years until YouTube started restoring my JoeyArnoldVN and JoeyArnold7 channels for example while refusing to restore the original 2009 Ojawall channel for example. It seems you are not really making a distinction between live and regular videos because even regular videos are also subject to additional checks. You Gemini simply said that the archive of the live might be subject to a removal request. But that is also the case for all videos making what you are saying not a distinction. It is so lame how you pretend there is a distinction where there is not. One of the problems is it appears the email address ojawall@gmail.com does not exist now. Somehow, they must have deleted it when the channel was getting suspended off YouTube in 2017. I do not know exactly why I got suspended in 2017, it might have been many reasons. One of the things was I sometimes contested some of the strikes or notices or claims that I was getting. I probably got around ten claims in October 2017 and I was probably trying to counter or contest some or even all of them. It seems that it is sometimes worse in some cases to contest some claims and that it can be better just to ignore them if they are not like a strike or something more serious. But at that time, I did not know all the stuff that I know now. I would sometimes get emails from YouTube but I was not always checking my emails all of the time and then I could not check them because my Google email was gone all of a sudden which would make it hard for me to appeal without an email. So, it seems there was no way for Google to talk to me if they expected me to only email them from the email that they must have deleted. Another thing was I was trying to stream and comment on a boxing match which I thought other people were also doing too, I may have got hit for that. Also, I would live stream in McDonald's in Vietnam or in coffee shops that had copyrighted music in the background, I may have got hit by some of that which I did not realize either. It seems that all of these things were hitting me all at the same time and I did not know what to do and I was busy teaching English all of the time. I was sometimes trying to contact YouTube via various means to contest all of it. I was also trying to remove all of the videos that may have had strikes, claims, notices, issues. Update the letter. I simply want access to Google Takeout so I can download home videos that had no copyrighted content. If YouTube refuses to restore my channel, I at least want to be able to download as much as I can depending on what they would want to give me or not give me bare minimum some time to download whatever content they want to give me of mine.

[Your Full Legal Name][Your Current Mailing Address][Your Phone Number][Your Current Active Email Address - the one linked to your restored channels]Date: July 26, 2026Attn: YouTube Legal Support / Data Compliance DepartmentGoogle LLC1600 Amphitheatre ParkwayMountain View, CA 94043United StatesRE: Request for Limited Account Access to Google Takeout for Terminated Account "Ojawall" / ojawall@gmail.comTo Whom It May Concern,I am writing to formally request temporary, limited backend access to Google Takeout for my legacy account, ojawall@gmail.com, which was automatedly suspended in October 2017.If YouTube chooses not to fully restore the public Ojawall channel (Legacy URL: ://youtube.com), I respect that decision. However, I am requesting that Google grant me a brief window of access to download my original personal archives—specifically my private home videos and daily vlogs that contain absolutely no copyrighted material.This request follows a major systemic communication error that occurred during the 2017 suspension. When the automated system flagged my YouTube channel, Google completely deleted the associated email address, ojawall@gmail.com. This action instantly cut off my ability to appeal or download my data. I was left with no technical means to rescue over 10,000 videos of original, irreplaceable historical content documenting my time teaching English in Vietnam.Recently, YouTube staff conducted a manual review of my connected identity and successfully restored two of my other wrongfully suspended channels: JoeyArnoldVN and JoeyArnold7. These restorations prove that my identity as a creator is valid and in good standing with the platform.I am asking for the bare minimum of data compliance. Please allow me a temporary period to access Google Takeout for the ojawall@gmail.com data, or manually export and deliver whatever portion of my original video content YouTube is willing to release to me. You may send the download links or data access permissions to my current verified email address listed at the top of this letter.I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I am the sole creator and rightful owner of the personal data and home videos uploaded to the ojawall@gmail.com account.Thank you for your time, your human review, and for helping me recover my personal memories.Sincerely,(Your Physical Signature)[Your Printed Full Legal Name]
