WARNING: #GOOGLE IS TRYING TO TRICK YOU INTO USING GEMINI AI AND FEEDING GEMINI YOUR DATA IN GMAIL AND OTHER APPS!
What Google is now doing should be ILLEGAL. PERIOD. For the first time I can recall in history of using Gmail, it just now popped a modal dialogue box -- DEMANDING that I choose whether or not I wanted "Smart Features" turned on -- which when you read the verbiage mostly means goddamned Gemini AI AND if you enable this you're giving Google permission to use your data to "improve" this horrifically invasive, inept, and misinformation spewing tech that steals data from websites for its own use without permission of those sites. DON'T LET IT SUCK IN YOUR EMAIL AS WELL!
There was no way I could find to exit the modal window without choosing YES or NO, which means my existing selection to NOT use Gmail Smart Features (long my preference) was NOT being honored. After saying NO to this disgusting query by Google, I was pushed to ANOTHER page where I was forced to choose again about "smart features" in "other" Google apps. I chose NO again and finally was permitted to escape this trap.
Note that while you can fairly easily check to make sure "smart features" are turned off in Gmail settings, I offhand don't have a clue as to how to find the similar settings in other Google apps that may have been affected by this absolutely disrespectful forced dialogue, as Google keeps trying to ram Gemini AI down our throats.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Google has become a DISGRACE.

Due to the brilliance of the central quasar, the surrounding galaxy is outshone by it and hence is not visible from Earth. With an absolute magnitude of β30.7, it shines with a luminosity of 4Γ1040 watts, or as brilliantly as 140 trillion times that of the Sun, making it one of the brightest objects in the known Universe.[1]

They celebrate Israel bombing Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza, Iran and Iraq.
now they have woken up to reality of being US puppets. they have passed their usability and now they are being used for the next phase of the plan to build the greater Israel .
Arabs don't seem to learn a lesson from past mistake . their hate of the Shia and Iran as well as any other non wahhabi Muslim is deeper than their self preservation drive .
and Israel knows perfectly well how to play them. one by one they fall and then go on killing each other or become slaves of the Israeli regime .

New US Stealth Bombers Painted in Epsteinβs List, Making Them Disappear
"he US Air Force announced it would be painting its existing line of fighter jets and stealth bombers in a paint made from the Epstein List, which makes them impossible to see.
βThis huge military effort has taken countless peopleβs involvement to put together. Of course, weβd never reveal who those people are. Actually, I mean, there are no people. Yeah, no people,β said one Air Force General."

Since being entirely covered in the paint made from the Epstein List the stealth bombers are now 99% invisible, meaning that much like Epstein's own planes, only the most powerful 1% will have access to them.Lachlan Hodson (The Shovel)

Open, free, and completely ignored: The strange afterlife of Symbian
theregister.com/2025/07/17/symβ¦
It did get sourced, but nobody cared
<- by me on @theregister
: It did get sourced, but nobody caredLiam Proven (The Register)
Symbian. No T on the end.
All right, fair point. (Although my mum is nearly 90 and has an appless phone, so it's not one-size-fits-all.)
But the thing is that you said:
"A good OS incompatible with needed apps... isn't valid for an practical use."
I am guessing you mean "any". I gave you a valid use. OSes with no apps can be entirely useful, yes.
For instance, you also said "and security soft". If something can't run external apps then it can't run malware either, so no _security software_ is needed. I do not _want_ apps on my router, or on my storage server, or on my ebook reader!
The obsession with apps is a recent thing and it's everywhere. It's a red herring. Not everything needs apps, even including computing devices, and often, providing the ability to run external software is harmful and insecure.
@matrix, agree with this statement, as I said before, for a lot of people Symbian is a pretty good alternative, but not for all because mencioned reasons, eg. also profesionals which have to work with company or specific apps.
Luckily there are also pretty good FOSS alternatives out there which are also compatible with needed apps.
Compatibility is always an important reason for a lot of users.
Yes, in my case I also can try to make a call for an appointment, but it's often impossible due of the office hours, presence of the nurse, because heavy traffic in the hospital and others, apart the need to pass always all the ID data, security number and other, because of this the social security intriduced the app some years ago.
The app connect direct with the calendar of the doctor, selecting a free zone, marking day and hour 24/7 with your registred data, even putting an alarm in your calendar, thing of half a minute and few clicks and aliviate a lot the work of the hospital personal, which is hard enough.

Space weather βreporterβ Vigil will be the worldβs first space weather mission to be permanently positioned at Lagrange point 5, a unique vantage point that allows us to see solar activity days before it reaches Earth. ESAβs Vigil mission will be a dedicated operational space weather mission, sending data 24/7 from deep space.
Vigilβs tools as a space weather reporter at its unique location in deep space will drastically improve forecasting abilities. From there, Vigil can see βaround the cornerβ of the Sun and observe activity on the surface of the Sun days before it rotates into view from Earth. It can also watch the Sun-Earth line side-on, giving an earlier and clearer picture of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) heading toward Earth.
Radiation, plasma and particles flung towards Earth by the Sun can pose a very real risk to critical infrastructure our society relies on. This includes satellites for navigation, communications and banking services as well as power grids and radio communication on the ground.
A report by Lloydβs of London estimates that a severe space weather event, caused by such an outburst of solar activity, could cost the global economy 2.4 trillion dollars over five years.
ESAβs response to this growing threat is Vigil, a cornerstone mission of the Agencyβs Space Safety Programme, planned for launch in 2031. Vigilβs data will give us drastically improved early warnings and forecasts, which in turn help protect satellites, astronauts and critical infrastructure on the ground that we all depend on.

"The Houthis in Yemen are warning shippers that "any Israeli vessel" travelling through four locations will be targeted.
The statement follows a four-day deadline set by the group for Israel to resume aid shipments into Gaza.
The #Houthis added that the "ban will remain in effect until the crossings to the #Gaza Strip are reopened and humanitarian aid, including food and medical supplies, is allowed to enter".
Houthis had launched more than 100 attacks targeting shipping from November 2023, saying they were in solidarity with Palestinians over #Israel βs genocide in Gaza."
