why though... i'm not opposed to using gemini, but the things i use my mobile assistant for are like, setting timers and asking what the weather is today and the older NLP model handled that perfectly with lower latency... with gemini i don't get to have sub second responses

We’re writing to let you know that the Google Assistant on your mobile device is being discontinued, and Gemini—our next-generation AI-powered assistant—is now the assistant experience on Android.

What This Means for Your Mobile Device

As we transition our mobile experience to Gemini, Google Assistant will no longer be available on your mobile device. We will begin removing access to Google Assistant starting on September 4, and expect that this process may take a few weeks to reach everyone. Once availability is removed, you will no longer be able to use or switch back 
to Google Assistant on your phone, tablet, or paired devices. 
If your Android device meets the minimum system requirements and you are in a region where Gemini is available, Gemini will be the Google-provided assistant on your mobile device. When you invoke your assistant, for example, by saying “Hey Google” or long-pressing your power button, Gemini will appear instead of the previous Google Assistant.

i feel so evil whenever i report unlabeled adult content but like come on, i don't want to see boobs the size of 2-3 watermelons each while i'm at work. also it's not that hard to label your own stuff, please do it

discord servers with more than like ~10 channels scare me, what do you need that much segmentation for... i can get topic channels sometimes but a lot of servers that do too many turn into 1-4 people using each channel and the server feeling isolating for anyone not in the clique already

sorry i don't trust a messaging application that is only available on a single platform, marketed towards one social media's users, and is "e2ee" with 0 independent audits of their protocol or servers. i get that it's still early for them, but the red flags keep piling up

it's so weird that a raspberry pi has pcie lanes so you can just boot it from an nvme drive now. it's awesome, it's like you can do actual things on it

why do I comment on people's things that are so far up their own ass about a topic they plug their ears and go lalala to ignore any other opinions that aren't their own

i'm kinda confused about the openai "we're making luna and terra way cheaper" but not letting you use either of them in the normal chat interface... in fact all you get is vague "intelligence" which may or may not be just effort on sol but still, why not use terra for medium and luna for instant...

i do want to use nixos more but it's just unreal how basically unusably bugged so many things are and then i use fedora and none of those issues that drove me crazy even exist
