    What do you think sane Americans will eventually need to do to rebel properly from their corrupt country?

  • I make no assumptions but the fact of the matter is, an absolutely ridiculous number of people just straight up don't bother to vote, then complain about shit they could've stopped by voting against it and the candidates support it.

    Choosing not to participate is still a choice and it has had disastrous consequences. Anyone who chose this is a fucking idiot who absolutely bears responsibility for the situation. They, along with the people who supported this shit, should probably shut the fuck up unless they're apologizing for their idiocy.

  • Majority of Android users aren't sold on Gemini Intelligence, survey reveals

    Jump

  • Ah, I thought you meant as in tricking Gemini to use Assistant somehow. Yeah, that would be great. It's insane they got rid of it at all but Google loves killing cool/useful shit.

    I'm still salty about Photosphere.

  • Get off their asses and actually vote?

    Just kidding, that's too much effort for waaaaay too many people apparently.

  • You can't tell Google Assistant shit anymore, they killed it to force people to use Gemini, which is objectively terrible as an assistant.

  • It has become reasonably OK at setting alarms somewhat recently, unless you don't have Internet, then it is totally fucking useless. Assistant would reliably set alarms, no problem, along with a ton of other useful things like calendar events, reminders, texts, etc.

    It would also set alarms without needing an Internet connection. Gemini is vastly inferior to Assistant when it comes to actually doing anything I want it to do.

  • Top positions in Mozilla occupied by former Facebook ad/marketing execs

    The forks already exist now, so the cat's kinda out of the bag. Sure, they may benefit from updates from Mozilla, but it's not like they're just going to up and disappear or stop working all of the sudden.

  • What are some simple ways to boost your health and mood?

    Jump

  • Go for walks regularly.

    Eat healthy.

    Get 8 hours of sleep every night.

  • Gemini is fucking garbage, it's useless as an assistant and Google destroyed Assistant which could do genuinely helpful things like navigate hands free, set timers reliably and without Internet connections, set calendar reminders, etc.

    Try to use voice commands to navigate now?

    Gemini tells you to use the Maps app.

    Fuck you Gemini, that's not helpful at all.

    Get your shit together Google.

  • Where do you guys go for gifs and/or webms?

    Jump

  • I just search for them or make them. There are no specific sites I go to.

    As for search engines, Qwant, Kagi, DuckDuckGo, and even Bing are all ones I regularly use. Google is garbage these days.

    If you're talking about a forum just for gifs, why not make one here?

  • Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it?

  • I keep mine on almost always, runs fine so I usually don't bother turning it off.

  • After 10 years of work, modders have remade classic RPG Ultima Underworld in Unity with 3D models, new sound effects, and controller support

    Can I become a writer when this is the quality of my writing? Please be honest.

    Jump

  • Sure you can! Keep writing, read as much as you can, but also be sure to go out and live. Lived experiences are important, and if you don't have a lot of them, your writing will be worse off for it. Be sure to touch grass as the kids say, go travel as much as you can.

    I'll warn you though: One of the surest ways to ruin a fun hobby is to make it a profession.

  • Google Search as you know it is over - but there are alternatives (see post)

    Jump

  • even if its worse than the solutions that we already had.

    Like Gemini replacing Assistant. Holy shit, what a dumpster fire.

  • Buying an Android phone is no longer enough — Google wants you to subscribe too

    Jump

  • I don't want their shitty AI! Bring back Assistant, which actually worked reliably and could do basic shit like navigate hands free, set reminders, and even work without Internet to do something like set a fucking timer!

    Unreal.
