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 −30.7, it shines with a luminosity of 4×1040 watts, or as brilliantly as 140 trillion times that of the Sun, making it one of the brightest objects in the known Universe.[1]

Ugh why am I awake this early 😤
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 Epstein’s 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.
“This huge military effort has taken countless people’s involvement to put together. Of course, we’d never reveal who those people are. Actually, I mean, there are no people. Yeah, no people,” said one Air Force General."
theshovel.com.au/2025/07/17/ne…
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/sym…
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.
Es ist mal wieder Zeit für eine unser #Quiz zum Thema #Menschenrechte!
Heute möchten wir wissen:
Welches dieser UN-Menschenrechtsabkommen wurde zuerst verabschiedet?
Fun fact: die ICERD ist die, gegen die Israel — wie vom IGH höchstgerichtlich bestätigt — mit seiner offiziellen institutionalisierten Rassendiskrimierung systematisch verstößt.
Das entsprechende Detail aus der ICJ Advisory Opinion:
"The Court observes that Israel’s legislation and measures impose and serve to maintain a
near-complete separation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem between the settler and Palestinian
communities. For this reason, the Court considers that Israel’s legislation and measures constitute a
breach of Article 3 of CERD." (page 65)
