It’s so weird that we have to go through hoops and loops to get rid of this stuff! I was sick of my Android responding to a long press of the power button, meant to shut it down, with a Gemini prompt. Took me an hour to figure out I can’t get rid of the function, but I can switch back (for now) to old style Google Assistant.

If you have to force functionality down your users’ throat despite them not wanting it, you already lost. Gemini is Google’s Clippy, just less iconic and more also-ran.

I feel with you. The product idea is awesome, the implementation is so-so, and progress is backwards. It’s heart-breaking, really, and so sad nobody has a real alternative.

The funniest thing is that even some of Google’s own products don’t accept Webp, like Google Voice.

Until we get actual sales figures, it’s a little early to tell if people crave the Pebble. I do want one, but it’s mostly because I saw the potential for app development and imagined the amazing things people would write for it. Definitely not because it’s unique.
