  • I mean there were no instructions up front because literally Google is refusing to give them, basically.
    No more choice just the company force feeding the user and saying it’s good for them.

    Nowhere in the email or any of the Support pages did Google say how to remove all Gemini integrations from my phone.
    I then emailed Google PR and… I asked if someone could provide actionable guidance for my readers who want to ensure Gemini integrations are completely disabled. Instead of answering the question, the person responding to my email wrote, in part: “This update is good for users: they can now use Gemini to complete daily tasks on their mobile devices like send messages, initiate phone calls, and set timers while Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. With Gemini Apps Activity turned off, their Gemini chats are not being reviewed or used to improve our AI models.”

    Literally that reads like you can’t turn it off and they just scrape less of your data on a technicality.












  • I think it’s rubbing you the wrong way because you have an axe to grind with environmentalism apathy and this barely touching it makes it a lightning rod for your unfocused anger.

    It reminds you of an issue you have that you can not solve and that usually makes people more on edge.
    It’s also unfortunately way off topic as it’s about an evil person doing evil things. I can’t say you are wrong to make the jumps together but it as a criticism kinda lacks any ability to follow through from the artist.
    And it made you react which means as art it worked.





  • Yeah. I am aware that it is a lot. Unfortunately having tried all ranges of products from chewing on penis envy to teas, I don’t think the sunlight is gonna make much of a difference.

    But I will be more wary of the grey market bars for my friends that it works for. Thanks for the heads up!
