Google did the same thing with Google Plus they went all in on social and it failed miserably
It was actually a really good product, way better than Facebook, unfortunately if you have a social media platform that's invite only then it's never going to succeed. I really have no idea why they did it like that.
Facebook started out as invite only for a few years so they might have been looking to emulate its early trajectory. Gmail also started that way.
Guess my next phone is coming from Oneplus or Fairphone.
bUt AnDrOiD!!!
...can be chained to its desk and limited, I agree.
Since when does Oneplus support Calyx or Grapheme?
it's part of a welcoming trend of who gives a fuck
the less relevant megacorps are the better, i hope they all go all in on fake AI and lose everything whilst choking
To be fair I think it is happening to Google as much as it is to everyone else, we are running down a hill and are going too fast to stop.
The other day I asked my phone for a measurement conversion while cooking only to be greeted by the new Gemini nonsense. Don't touch my shit!
Then I was driving and tried to play a specific song, but the Assistant couldn't get further than dumping me into YouTube Music and hiding my navigation.
So anyways, I just uninstalled Assistant and after failing to find something else I came to Lemmy and saw this.
Thankfully I’ve been “all out” on Google for some time.
First of all no thanks and second... How do I totally opt out because we must assume those cretins opted us all in. I've opted out one one account. Does that work for everything?
