This is the kind of vibe I want to go for on each track entrance. Nothing crazy, just a little thematic flair around the ticket booth to make it feel like an attraction. Honestly the more I iterate on the hub world I realize I'm basically just going for what they did in Banjo Kazooie, which is unsurprising because that's another Rare game that I love. They know how to make a hub world.

Capitalism is murder.

Yes, indeed, so many ways that capitalists are given legal permission to kill us, from denying insurance claims; to putting out deadly cars, medicines & other products with a slap on the wrist and a token penalty for doing so; to the 20,000 or so who die from vehicle emissions each year, just in the U.S., and even after regulations to minimize that effect; to the over 5,000 workers who die each year from workplace injuries, just in the U.S.; to the 3-4 people killed each day by the cops in the U.S. as they protect the property and interests of the capitalists.

Laser-wielding device is like an anti-aircraft system for mosquitoes

While we may still not have flying cars, robot butlers or food replicators actually in our possession, you can now order something else you may have long dreamt of. It's called the Photon Matrix, and it uses lasers to track and kill airborne mosquitoes.

@Tutanota welcome to AI agents. Apple will go the same way, Microsoft in Windows as well. And the users will love the benefits, the simplicity.

@Okuna @Tutanota Idk, looks like the user's opinion is not even a concern from a PR standpoint now.

Notice how they're explicitly stating this is to make things easier for *gemini*, not you.

@Okuna @Tutanota Of course, most people find thinking hard enough to successfully wipe their ass as painful. Let alone reading an entire news article, or holding a real conversation.

AI may allow you to finish a higher quantity of tasks, but it fails miserably in the quality department.

@Tutanota Would anything happen if Gemini was not installed, like an automatic install of Gemini and auto-scanning after the possible installation?
Show threadMartin3d ago
@countdracula @Tutanota
As of now, you can still have Google Assistant instead of Gemini, but it won't last, and soon Gemini will most likely be a system app.
I guess it depends on the phone too, if you have the latest Google Pixel, it might already be forced on you.
If you have something like a Google Pixel 6 or 7, I know for a fact that until very recently you could still disable/uninstall Gemini and have Google assistant instead. (Which you can fully disable too)

One thing that doesn't work is Chromecast, of course, because it is Google. But I can cast from my tablet when I need to.

@panoptikontraband @meraord Berätta hur det går. Jag bytte ut launchern till Lawnchair, det som följer med är lite begränsat, men det behöver man strikt taget inte göra. Var lite pill med sms-inställningarna av någon anledning, men det funkar också nu.

Show threadKalle Kniivilä3d ago

@philip Köpte en begagnad Pixel 7 för typ 2 000 kr. Mycket lur för pengarna. Lawnchair är väl typ Googles vanliga launcher, fast utan Google?

Senaste versionen är typ ett år gammal, men funkar bra.

@panoptikontraband @meraord Jag köpte en begagnad Pixel 7 för ett par tusen kronor. Man får ju välja en hyfsat modern lur som det finns officiell eOS-version för.

När det gäller sms så funkade vanliga meddelanden fint när jag hade kopplat bort Googles RCS-grej, men MMS funkade inte innan jag pillade med nätverksinställningarna.

@panoptikontraband Det tror jag säkert, de har väl något samarbete med Fairphone till och med. Blev lite sugen på den senaste modellen, men det blir ju en logisk motsägelse, en begagnad vadsomhelst är ju bättre för miljön.

@meraord @Tutanota On my phone, Samsung S21 with Android 15, I was allowed to disable the Gemini app in Settings > Apps.

Later, I uninstalled it using the dev tools, but that's less straightforward.

Edit: Since this is being boosted, if you want to uninstall it with dev tools, the app ID to do so is com.google.android.apps.bard

Show threadAirikr 3d ago

@meraord @Tutanota Install RethinkDNS and block all connections that goes to and from Google. Allow the connections you have to use like for Google Play Store.

By doing this, it will be impossible for Google Gemini to connect to the internet, hipefully making it useless.

Either that or install a custom ROM. If you have a Pixel phone, GrapheneOS is highly recommended. Very easy to install too.

@Tutanota Easy to use description. Layperson-question: I don't have this Gemini app on my phone (Galaxy A21s, EU law) and remember that I had already deactivated the search assistant. Does this app appears automatically in 4 days? Or is it hidden somewhere?

(BTW; I even don't believe that Google doesn't collect data if deactivated.)

Show threadUkeleleEric3d ago
@Tutanota As far as I can tell, there is no Gemini on my phone, due probably to the fact that I only install and update via a third-party website, have no Google account on it, and have as much dialled-down and disabled as possible.

@Tutanota Genuine question: if I completely disable Gemini on my Pixel I am sent "back" to Google Assistant.
Is my data actually safer in that case?
I see it reads the screen anyway if I activate it (mostly by mistake) and it absolutely does not have the same settings as Gemini.
