The only negative thing about my TCL tv is that it’s running Google tv launcher. I replaced that with Projectivy.

,haha, who would’ve thought…

Haha, AI hallucinations seem to be infectious.

It’s not small change anymore. That’s what happens when you don’t listen to your customers.

, just What I needed - another good reason never to touch Apple. (But hey, there’s money to be made - Google advertising revenue 230+billion USD… remind me again of all the good that these companies are doing in the world with their wealth???).

I pay 5x as much. Where do you get 1kwh for 10c?

, haha, soon to come: ‘ADS FOR DEATH AND TAXES.’

Bottom line: if I’m forced to consume ads on a device belonging to me - I will rather throw it away!

Yawn…

Kiwi here, originally European so I get content in two languages and from people with some interests in similar. Good percentage of local and international stuff generally keeps me happy. (Not too concerned/glad about overall numbers - there’s no continuous growth on a finite planet)

I’ve seen an article that describes opting out of the app integration as well (even though that by default it’ll be on. There should be a class action against Google doing that! That said, I can’t see Europe taking this as it is.)

Web search would be a better term since a lot of people use other search engines than Google.

Let’s face it the problem is mostly the people. If AI was as super duper as claimed to be it would be able to construct advertising that makes everyone go: 'Yeah, I have to have this, it’s useful, ethical, the bees knees really. ’

The little advertising that still makes it over my thresholds is bad to abominable and of that what registers for me has the opposite affect it intents - I go out of my way to avoid it.

Hope no one was hurt, regardless whether they’re stupid, distracted or whatever! If we can’t build fail-saves into cars, what are our chances for real AI?

Exactly, they didn’t just kill an individual, they bombed the whole building/block the individual was in - my personal believe.

, and so the enshitification of what once was a great phone continues.

Haha, that’s a cheap sellout before committing suicide for an app. Show us where your loyalty is.

Possibly easier achieved with a window manager than a desktop.

I have so many bonus points, I just get 5 new hearts. I find the lack of grammer in the free version holding me back (possibly by design, so I’ll finally pay for something). I think it’s time to leave for me too (I didn’t enjoy the gaming side and won’t tolerate AI integration, even if it’s free).

Woah, 20yrs max…, it seems to only pay when you steal from the poor and have train loads of lawyers at hand.
