I haven't read a single positive comment here, which is to be expected in this community. But to be honest I kind of like the idea of an AI assistant that keeps track of my schedule, knows about my friends and what I am doing. Of cause I would not use gemini and am happy that i dont have to care about it with e/OS. But something that helps me keep track of things and can help me with stuff seems interesting. I'm interested to hear reviews of it

I am just using oneui but I'm not even signed into a google account surely Gemini won't be after me?

And how does this effect those of us that have completely disabled Gemini Assistant?

Seems like you'd fall under the "even if you say no" category

When they say WhatsApp I gotta think that would be the same for any third party conversation app right? I would never use whatsapp, and I would hope any security minded person wouldnt either. But I do rely on an opensource sms launcher and signal. I would assume the framework would make it mess with those too.

This sucks. Horribly sucks. I can't stand apple products, they cant do anything. I know that even having google play on my android device means I am fucked anyways, but this is a new low from google.

Feels weird to buy a google pixel, only to be able to expect it is the best way to not have google on it. (grapheneos or similar).

Is this also true about ChromeOS?
