(title added by lemmy community mod). Original text:
last month when my car and I were smashed to bits by a drunk driver, just as the fire department was pulling my broken body through the crumpled door, the dashboard started flashing GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE and I did not need that. I did not.

Image description: Meme titled "All robots and computers must shut the hell up" and goes on to state that all machines should not speak unless spoken to and that "I will never speak to you"

Oooh … Google Assistant has almost single-handedly convinced me to figure out how to install LineageOS. I’m trying to do something and it insists on inserting itself into my business. I loathe how persistent it is too. I’d be fine if I could uninstall it. You know, I’d cut a PERSON out of my life for so consistently refusing to respect my boundaries.

You can mostly shut the assistant up by going to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Digital Assistant App > Select ‘None’

I don’t know other Android skins change this flow but it should work on most running close-to-stock Android

So much yes.

I’ve got an older phone I use purely for GPS navigation. I’m planning on loading it with Graphene as an experiment
