I got tired of Google shoving AI down my throat in yet another place in my phone.
I’m surprised it even gave me the choice to “report and block”.
Yes, but you have also angered Roko’s Basilisk.
Glad they didn’t have the usual “Maybe later” button and you have a means to block it out completely.
For now.
I hate how “Maybe later” has replaced “No. Don’t ask me again.”
Enshitification at its best.
My pet peeve is m$ changing “My computer” to “This computer”. It’s no longer yours lol.
Thumbs up for reporting it as spam.
Is this really what the non-FOSS android experience has become nowadays!? AI chatbots in your messages app? This seems absolutely miserable. I think I finally understand why there are so many iOS users out there.
Convenient to leave out Apple it’s working on AI (Apple Intelligence) too. I don’t think any big company is safe from the hype train.
Is Apple Intelligence even real? I don’t have any apple product myself but my parents have iphones and sometimes I use their ipad and I’ve never seen it or heard anyone talk about it IRL. Pretty sure it was just a prank/marketing trick
It’s only on the latest iphone, I don’t remember which iPads, and only the m-series macs. So far from what I’ve seen it’s not as aggressively annoying as Gemini with the chat app messages.
Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks!
Oh hell yeah, doing it right now, too!
You can do that for other annoying "news"letter too. Simply search the sender, select a lot, report as spam
I actually don’t hate AI, but I’m a firm believer in everyone’s right to opt out if they don’t want it, and I hope companies will learn to respect that. If they don’t, feel free to spam their support hotline with complaints.
I’m a firm believer in leave my shit the fuck alone, and make all your stupid fuck services as OPT IN instead of forcing your trash upon everyone for only the smarter Individuals to opt out so they can falsely claim their services are used by the majority when unreality it’s used by next to nobody and just pisses people off.
Right, I go months without updating my phone because they keep changing shit…
I liked it how it was when it was a S7 it peaked nothing new since has been good.
Except file share stuff cause it’s faster then Bluetooth
I did the same thing with Snapchats account. They won’t let me unfriend it but I could mute and rename it to “leave me the fuck alone”
That shit was permanently pinned at the top for me. I also named it “Dumb Bitch” and never interacted with it even once. Infuriating to say the least. What made me finally delete it and lose my thousands+ streaks was the ads. Rest in rip in actual piss Snapchat
Is there a better SMS app on android? I tried switching to a FOSS app but I was missing messages and group messages completely didn’t work, so I went back to Google’s app.
Mmmmm gotta get hated buuut…SMS Organizer by Microsoft. It’s in beta, but it works and works well.
Only thing that bugs me is I didn’t find search feature…
It is likely that they don’t already have a way to exclude certain numbers from the report and block feather yet, but will implement one if the number of people blocking it gets too high.
The real lifeprotips is in the shitposts
Wow, this is a very insightful remark! Although I’m a little confused by your second point, would you mind expanding on that?
Literally the first thing I did.
Oh damn I wasn’t aware this was possible. Just did it as well
