Everything I’ve read says Gemini is like 10x worse than Google Assistant.

LOL they can’t even reliably turn the lights on, WTF are you talking about?

Multi-billion dollar companies like Google and Apple can’t even figure this shit out, doubt some nerd is gonna do it for free.

If I ask or tell them anything at all, they just get annoyed because they don’t care.

I don’t have any kids. But I’ve been in similar situations. My previous employment place used Facebook for company comms. I spoke out about it many times. I’ve volunteered for multiple orgs and asked them to move to Nextcloud several times and they just refused. I’ve even turned down volunteer opportunities because they refused to communicate over anything other than Google Chat. No one cares.

So long Facebook, see you never, until one day I inexplicably need to use your platform to get updates from my kid’s school.

This makes me so fucking angry.

Did they actually “hack” it though or is it just clickbait

The only way to outlaw Meta’s dangerous and egregious behavior is to pass legislation

Or we could just exercise existing legislation? Like perjury?

Something something defending the billionaires! /s

I’ll never get it because first-party ads are only a small part of the problem. Shitty rec algos, Shorts absolutely rammed the fuck down your throat, third-party ads, dislike counters, gaslighting you about the resolution, clickbait blockers, cross platform feed, etc. These are all solved with third party clients.
