So, what this seems to be saying, and what is reflected in the settings screens I can access on devices I have at hand, is that Gemini will still have (limited) functionality hooking jnto certain apps even if you've disabled "Gemini App history".

~~The app is being pushed through normal updates via Google Play (by your carrier or Google itself). In some cases the app can be uninstalled by the end user through the normal UI, and in other cases it installs as a system app and requires adb to be used to disable and/or uninstall it.~~

EDIT: FALSE, GOOGLE HAS NOT PUSHED THE APP OUT YET, JUST A SETTINGS PAGE

As always, the most secure way to use android is through a custom locked down ROM like Graphene OS.

Edit:

Fuck, I'm wrong, you’re right. I must have spot checked the Gemini fan club or something out of my end users. Still don't know how all our luddite inter-office mail couriers got it.

Looks like Google has added a Gemini options page to Android settings regardless of the app install, which is where my confusion on my own device came from.

Old postSo... it's only an issue for any phone still pulling normal updates through Google Play.

That would still be the majority buddy.

Old postShow proof then.

Then how did it end up on my phone, or on the over 1000 android phones my workplace oversees through mdm solutions?

It's being pushed with normal automatic app updates through Google Play.

I'm sure there's a combination out there that would get what I'm looking for. I just haven't found it yet, and a lot of the scene (especially what gets coverage by youtubers) seem to be focused on increasing difficulty by making individual zombies more threatening (night sprinters, randomizers, adding different "zany" zombie types) or adding environmental hazards (nuclear fallout, airborne virus, eternal winter).

You can adjust settings, and I do, but once you clear an area if you stay near the area the options are either "randomly spawn in zombies where you've cleared" (ignoring whether a zombie could actually path there or not, last I tested it) or "no more zombies". There's no built in way I know of to simulate a glob coming in from the edges of your safe zone if the edges are farther out than the limit of cells it simulates around you.

I could probably get something together with the horde night mod. Just haven't had time to tinker lately.

Respectfully: As I've already stated, none of this exists in a vacuum. You don't get to just declare shit irelevant. Regardless of your mental gymnastics, you are peacocking/gloating about having the right beliefs/voting policy in the aftermath of these children being dead.

Disrespectfully: Your belief that you can somehow claim any sort of moral highground here is absolutely ghoulish. I sincerely hope you never are denied compassion or help in your time of need by someone professing beliefs like yours.

The people? Or the husks in skinsuits we through mass delusion have decided to refer to as politicians?

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

Or maybe they're just upset that you're using the deaths of children to be smug.

There's a lot more going on in politics than "insert vote, recieve outcome voted for". Gerrymandering, simply being stuck in an area where you are the political minority, politicians campaigning on an entriely different platform than the actions they take later while in office... I could go on, but I expect my words would be wasted.

The dead girls weren't even old enough to vote.

In b4 you start running your mouth off about how it's okay to wish death on the bad people because of what they're doing to you/the good people. Two wrongs don't make a right, and even if it did, you're aimed at the wrong targets. Get your scope zeroed in properly.

Not really related, but it makes me sad that this isn't easily possible in Project Zomboid. It's the exact sort of feeling I want from it.

There will always be more content than anyone can keep up with in a single lifetime. I've long since lost the motivation to race along at the front edge of new shit.

I pick up new artists from shows, movies, youtube videos, and games. I also regularly let youtube music (revanced, so no ads) run past the end of my playlists and suggest new stuff. I used to use Pandora for this as well.

On super rare occasions (been over a year now) I'll check out you groove you lose threads on 4chan and discover a few more artists.

Yeah. Anthropic regularly releases these stories and they almost always boil down to "When we prompted the AI to be mean, it generated output in line with 'mean' responses! Oh my god we're all doomed!"

I love all these articles that frame the public's reaction to something as the problem, while ignoring or glossing over the cause of the reaction entirely.

"How dare you question the orphan grinder! No, the real problem is that you don't understand why the orphan grinder is necessary!"
