What even is ownership?
Local-first for life.
Well this fucking sucks. Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto, I thought I was stuck with it until I discovered a couple weeks ago that I could choose to continue using the assistant.
Now it’s being ripped from my hands again.
This is total ass. Fuck Gemini. Fuck AI. Fuck Google.

It also can’t read labels on gmaps. Can’t read people’s “nickname” field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can’t access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).
Those are the three things I use AA for, and it’s objectively worse at every single one of them.
I couldn’t get it to create a reminder for me when I tried the other day.
If it makes you feel better, I’m sure someone in Google got the promotion they stop desperately needed.
Fuck everything about this: Gemini sucks!
I degoogled (mostly) a while ago, but home assistant has a pretty configurable local voice assistant. If you have remote access to your server, I imagine you could cobble together a good keyword based personal assistant that sets alarms, turns lights on and off, and reads you an RSS newsfeed while you drink your morning coffee.
We’re truly on the technological downslope now. First it was all about the user and making software accomplish a purpose, then it was all about the user as long as it was profitable, now it’s fuck the user - be profitable.
Well that’s not good. I use it to set alarms fairly often, and up until recently it used to work for navigation. I think me refusing the AI crap made “navigate to 123 main st” quit working.
De-googled my phones when they continued pushing this. Google TV is a little harder but turning off voice input and loading a 3rd party launcher fixes most issues for now.
