Your Android Phones Aren’t ‘Google’ Anymore, They’re All ‘Gemini’

I don't think I've found a single use for Gemini it either refuses any questions I ask or just can't do the task. I think everytime I've tried something I've resorted to using a different llm. Google has really lost its tech edge imo.

I only use Google Assistant to set timers and alarms. I tried it on Gemini and it said it couldn't do that.

I don't see Linux phones being viable for the average person for a long time
Which is really so sad isn't it? The whole thing is so modular it would really just take one dev team a few months to at least get the ball rolling if they had the investment but... It's just not instantly profitable enough for anyone to bother putting the initial money in
Well the thing is, for it to be viable for the average person it would need to be able to suit a lot of different use cases. A lot of systems and infrastructure would need to be built up as well, likely to the point where it starts to resemble currently available typical phone OSs. There would need to be consistency and some amount of stability in terms of APIs and such for app developers to use. Having fragmentation of the ecosystem (different distros), with low level differences (compared to just a manufacturer or carrier skin+apps), means that it will be more difficult for app developers to target all platforms.
So to some extent, I guess it is partly due to a lack of momentum, however it is impossible to ignore the extent to which the Linux way of doing things is going to hinder adoption.
And don't forget that the Linux ecosystem has a habit of competing against itself for the little marketshare it does have. The fragmentation of the ecosystem also leads to work being done many times over for each distro. It makes it very hard for Linux to catch up and keep pace with the likes of Android and IOS.
I am not hating on Linux by any means, just being realistic about the situation.

My life for Eier.
Wie viel kosten die Eier?

Yes, please this. Current phones like the PinePhone just need a bit of polish and then I'm ready to go.
The thing is, how do we bring that about?
I'm not sure Pine64 has a goal of bringing a product to retail readiness; the PinePhone was getting there, then they released the PinePhone Pro which broke a lot of the work done...

Idk. I don't have the expertise to do low level work like battery tuning or fixing audio with any kind of efficiency, but once that work is done, I'd like to help get apps ported/created.
I'm not sure who to throw money at or whatever.

I recently used Gemini just for fun, to help me find an old Android game that's not on Google Play anymore. It was literally useless even though I described the game with a lot of details.
DuckDuckGo'd some details and 10 seconds later I was playing the game.

I asked it a question about PETG settings for a 3d printer and it told me to RTFM, but way wordier

The way things seem to be going these days, they'd rather have your compliance.
They can have my ass.

The best features of my phone are AI... in that they are already installed and now called something new. Google on tap is now some AI bullshit.

I’m ready for Linux Phone. No more of this big tech bullshit.
Its never coming to mass market in a user friendly package

Also not so ridiculously expensive for what you are getting. I understand that economies of scale are a thing but asking me to pay >500$ for specs significantly lower than a 200$ Samsung is a really tough sell when it is worse at everything in the first place.

Personally it doesn't need to be user friendly for me to use it, just have decent specs. Like at least a flagship phone from 2019 kind of specs. All the Linux phones are unbearably slow and have crap cameras and battery life.

Oh man! What was the game?

Yeah but it needs to be user friendly in order get adoption and support. How many tech pieces are lost because they cant find a market.
Im in agreeemnt that I just need a camera, phone text and browser mainly.
