Has anyone else had Google Assistant force uninstalled and Gemini installed only for Gemini to be completely useless? (sh.itjust.works)

Gemini can't set timers, make reminders(can't connect to "device assistance" with all privacy-invading bullshit enabled).

Is there any other mobile OS that does simple voice commands?

All I want are timers, alarms, date reminders, and apparentlysndroid can't process those anymore.

Why isn't there an equivalent FOSS alternative to Garageband? (sh.itjust.works)

Is it just not high in the priority list?

Linux is so full-featured at this point and music is such a huge part of culture that I'm always surprised when asked to find that there's no music-making software available.

Or have I just not found the Linux equivalent yet that everybody else knows about?

My friend's kid is hooked on Ponyo right now, and I feel like that will be the Miyazaki film burned into her soul from here on forward.

What games worked well for you on Heroic? I've had basically zero problems since I switched and it's so much faster and reliable than the native Epic client on Windows.

My friends are very emotionally attached to Costco.

For any game designers or software engineers, are Rixels as significant for game design and performance as they sound? (www.gamesindustry.biz)

Will they help with controlling the necessary processing power for games? Are Rixels applicable to most games?

It was very unstable and I kept feeling like I would fall into the lake.

Here or elsewhere.

Anyone else try to show Lemmy to their friends only for the toxic side of Lemmy to scare them off? (sh.itjust.works)

My friend's on reddit a lot, uses it for support questions and reviews mostly, but got fed up with all the bullshit toxicity.

I suggested she check out Lemmy, there's less content, but generally fewer toxic interactions, and we scrolled a bit.

She checked it out, didn't understand a meme on WomensStuff, had me ask them about it, and was so put off by their responses that that was the end of lemmy for her.
