"We spent a lot of money on this, so you're going to have it."
If this happens, can we please all make a protest or petition with the FCC?
In the absence of being able to switch to Graphene (Don't own a pixel), I've done everything I can to replace Google Apps with FOSS alternatives, and disabled Google Assistant on my device entirely.
I know none of that will stop a determined Google eventually fucking with me, but at least I'm trying.
I'm so damned tired of the modern corporate world.
I know that they might not be as secure as GrapheneOS, but you should totally give LineageOS or /e/OS a try, as they're both not limited to Pixels. I haven't tested them myself however, since I am a Graphene user. The most I ever tried with one of them was testing ROMs by installing LineageOS on my old Moto G7 play.
Saying "You're not alone" is supposed to be a wholesome thing to show someone that you care. Instead, it's AI companies squeezing as much data out of customers and injecting as much AI into everything they can.
Society really took a wrong turn didn't it?
Dammit don't make me switch to apple phones, I hate apple. I hate Google too but FFS all you need to do is stay out of my way and the one thing you continuously do is stand in my way...
GTFO of my way! Piss off with that AI crap that nobody asked for
Well I guess I’m glad I moved over to apple. But I guess the enshitification of all our phones is coming soon.
Too bad we can't get a Linux OS.
Apple has been seriously underperforming on their AI strategy.
Really makes it easy to keep using their devices.
At least so far Samsung is letting me disable Gemini, as I try to do to any bloatware I don't want running in the background.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
