You do have the option to use non-Google messaging and dialer/phone apps that are not controlled by or otherwise interact with Gemini.

Kinda ridiculous that you need them, but the option is still there.

    I use an old-school messaging app, QKSMS. No frills. I'll probably switch back to Should I Answer for phone, but I barely use my phone as a phone.

    I mean, Google has been sued and lost for antitrust violations over far less egregious behavior than blocking third-party apps in favor of their own.

    In a nation that, in a delirium for the illusion, that they "elected" a "president" that didn't count at least a million black voters. Who is in a "fight" (don't believe the "show") with cracker who cracked the election counter and bragged about it in the "inauguration" speech (53min in).

    But, yeah! I'll believe some pedophilic asshole who literally stole every software he stole then issued it closed source so that I can't see what it really does.

    Then I'll FUCKIN BELEVE some book with more edits than it has letters.

    Sucker. The literal reward of sugar with zero true value for every child in the grocery store who won't STFU.
