Or don't buy a new Android phone.
And don't use an app owned by Meta.

My android still has Google Assistant (with all the stuffs turned off). I can "switch from Google Assistant to Gemini" if I want to but it's not done by default. I assume the new phones come with Gemini baked in.

I suppose the other option is to use Signal for messaging & calls.

UGH. Is there even a way to disable all Gemini access on a Pixel? This is not good at all.

Summary from @cazabon

"I learned something today: Google's Gemini "AI" on phones accesses your data from "Phones, Messages, WhatsApp" and other stuff whether you have Gemini turned on or not. It just keeps the data longer if you turn it on. Oh, and lets it be reviewed by humans (!) for Google's advantage in training "AI" etc.

But this only came to my attention because of an upcoming change: it's going to start keeping your data long-term even if you turn it "off": "#Gemini will soon be able to help you use Phone, #Messages, #WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off."

This is, of course, a #privacy and #security #nightmare.

If this is baked into Android, and therefore not removable, I'd have to say I'd recommend against using Android at all starting July 7th."

Literally cool. 🙂

There really isn't a single shitty day that goes by
that some crap doesn't happen
We are constantly bombarded by
horror stories

I wait every day
for the big bang 💥

And when it comes
then we're all so screwed
and completely numb
we will just
stand there motionless
unable to react...

There could be a system
behind it

Well...
I'm just saying...

Volla, ein deutsche Hersteller von Smartphones, hat die öffentl. Beta-Version seines neuen Messengers „Volla Messages“ veröffentlicht. Die App ist u.a. für Android, Windows, Linux verfügbar. Die digitale Kommunikation erfolgt dezentral, sicher und unabhängig von klassischen Server-Infrastrukturen. Hat jemand von euch Erfahrungen mit den Produkten von Volla? Würde mich sehr interessieren, ob sie halten, was sie versprechen?

My cat walked on my iPad and somehow managed to mark all recent messages as unread. This was about 15 messages across numerous chats, both groups and individuals. I have no idea how she did this, but it could be a useful feature. I’ve asked the cat for an explanation but she refuses to talk. #iPad #Messages #CatsOfMastodon #Cats

I haven't used #SMS messages since like 5 years. Since today I remove #Whatsapp I decided to try it out again.

First thing after I opened the "#messages" app it shown me that it's actually #Samsung application and it's not default one on my phone. Default apparently was #Google one. So I opened it.

First it asked me to upload photo, then some description and the to suck it's dick or whatever.

Naturally I opened #FDroid and installed some #FOSS alternative but WHAT THE HELL.
