I have an enterprise account and they added this button today. Guess what used to be there? The profile image where you could so conveniently swipe up or down to switch between gmail accounts. This is the kind of UI garbage that makes you want to move your entire company to another service just because you can.
Delete your Google account already
Gemini is completely unusable... So many questions are redirected to what they want me to ask, and not to an answer for what I asked. I wouldn't be against this if I could turn it off and if it actually added any value.
Gemini? The Teletext-alike web?
Hey Google.
I still can't create folders in the Android Gmail app. But somehow you had time for this?
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to help with that"
Apparently they can't roll out Gemini to my phone because I never gave them my birthday. It's a really old account and they've been sending me notifications to add my birthday for years.
I'm in the same boat. Keep getting android popups like IMPORTANT ACCOUNT NOTIFICATION YOU HAVE TO ADD YOUR BIRTHDAY no I don't fuck you swipe away.
It's for the best, I used to ask Google assistant for alarms and basic searches sometimes, Gemini gives excruciatingly long responses that won't shut up and recently started responding with things from my past emails assumingly from the Gmail account needed to set up the phone. So now I don't have Google assistant, and will no longer search anything with Gemini out of principle. Need a new phone OS it appears
I accidentally triggered Gemini while taking a close-up photo of something in my hand. It threw up a nearly full-screen "how can I help?" message. I muttered "fuck off", and the message now read, "I'm sorry you feel that way..." Oh my god no. NO. Gemini now disabled.
If you are willing to forego Google Pay, I strongly recommend GrapheneOS.
Very much this. I really dislike my pixel 6 pro (i don't understand the immense hype it got but, whatever), however, i will be getting another pixel when this dies just so i can use GrapheneOS. So good
Yeah, I have a 7 pro and it seems more like top of mid-tier device rather than a flagship, but I got it for GrapheneOS and will buy Pixel again just because of it.
Had the 6 Pro, 7 Pro, 8 Pro, and now 9 Pro
I feel like the 8 Pro is the best of that series, but I don't have hard evidence to explain why
I asked Gemini how to clear the cache on Google messages. It did not know.
IT COULDNT ANSWER A SIMPLE QUESTION ABOUT THE APP ITS PART OF
Gemini: "I can't help you! I only work here!"
I can't help you. I don't work.
I asked Gemini to set up a counter as I always did on the other assistant and decided to tell me how much time there was left instead. I also asked it to play the news and it said it would but never did. I asked it if all cats knead and gave me a long explanation of what cats need. 😅
I can excuse the last one because of homophones even though ChatGPT got it immediately.
I’m pretty sure kneading is a way they mark territory and express feeling safe, glad to be corrected.
I think it's a behavior from nursing
Yep. It stimulates milk production and their paws contain scent glads that let them "mark" people or things. It's a high honor to be kneaded on by the fuzzy guys.
it should be considered harassment to advertise like this
Advertisements should be considered harassment.
We have a law in Mexico that says you can't hang up advertisements outside your shop at kids' eye level. I thought it was neat.
That is neat!
Is it true that in Spanish, the word "propaganda" can be used interchangeably with "publicidad," which means advertising?
Yep, propaganda is very commonly used to talk about ads
Hmm, I never thought about it but it's apparently a thing. I'm a bit Americanized so my perception is a bit different than the general population, so TIL.
Here's the official definition by the Royal Academy of Spain that confirms it:

Proton does something similar in their email client 🤢
It is
Time to move to something else
I saw a Copilot prompt in MS PowerPoint today - top left corner of EVERY SINGLE SLIDE - and I had a quiet fit in my cubicle. Welcome to hell.
Ah yes, the slop button. Truly the pinnacle of productivity.
Despite have AI off as much as possible within our Google Workspace at work, today all of my coworkers have received multiple ads / prompts by Google to use Gemini. In Gmail, in Google Meet, and more. Our policies don't allow us to use it so this is just ridiculous.
"adding a feature" = "forcing"
The profile image is still there, right beside the gemini button, and you can still swipe on it.
Well I didn't ask for this and I pay them for this and multiple accounts. If it wasn't forced there would be a setting to turn it off
While we are talking about shit that Google pulls that drives us crazy can we talk about the pop-up asking me if I know about driving mode EVERY SINGLE TIME I LAUNCH MAPS FROM MY CAR.
I fuckin know about it Google. I have said yes every single goddamn time. Stop fuckin asking me.
