IMO, when Google lost most public support, it really started going downhill because the people who wanted to profit the business as much as possible became more determinant than those that were still trying to throttle the company due to ethical considerations. When a company gets criticized for everything it does, its decline increases significantly. Add to that it exists under the US government and how that has completely fallen to corruption.

Gives me hope for the future of MS then! Maybe they will decline themselves out of dominance.
Well I guess I’m glad I moved over to apple. But I guess the enshitification of all our phones is coming soon.
Yeah only reason Apple hasn't done it is because they haven't figured out a way to connect it all to its ecosystem.
Like they say, the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Actually, the apple climbs up the tree and claims it made it
switch to grapheneos unless you're in the eu
I was writing a comment that my device is unsupported and all the supported pixel phones are flagship priced. Then I decided to check my work and look it up.
Long story short I have a refurbished pixel 6 on the way, it was cheaper than my current phone was.
glad to hear, enjoy it!
Thanks, I've wanted to do this for ages, but I got this current phone before I knew about grapheneos and the compatibility issue. Now all I need is to fully switch my main email and I'll be significantly de-googled.
Maybe this gives me a false sense of security but I bought the adguard pro on social stack (I think...). I just turn all of the connections off on gemini, meta and Bixby. Like this
Why do you keep Gemini installed? Does it even work offline?
I assume it's better to leave it and have it not work, then them sneak it on without me knowing or baking it into something else
Android users won't have a choice after a while.
I didn't want Google Now. Uninstalled it, and it's back and updated. Been fighting for years.
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.
I have a Pixel phone im bout to throw in the river
Why not throw graphene or another alternative on it (if supported) instead of turning it into e-waste?
I know nothing about it. Next time I feel wired up for learning, I'll look into it.
Just making jokes about the river, littering is never cool

I can't bring myself to use a Pixel because I don't trust Google-everything. I have so much to say, and yet I've said it a thousand times already. So I'm just gonna sigh.
And yes, I know I'm on Android either way.
It was free a few years ago, I've hated it since I got it. I think I got vibes from the windows phone a friend had some years ago and .. thought it would be the same? Idk Mine broke, and it was free. Eh
River, meet phone.
get grapheneos!!
boo! custom roms!
If this happens, can we please all make a protest or petition with the FCC?
Can't you just delete Gemini with Canta?
