Well, stupid people want it and they do use it when its shoved in their face. Like how samsung updated and BLATANTLY made their peice of shit AI button TAKE OVER THR POWER BUTTON so when you try to turn off your phone little old granny gets confused that an ai agent pops up and starts recording you. Absolutely infuriating and I wish torture on whoever implemented that shit.

Was that part of OneUI 7? I'm so glad I never installed that downgrade.

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

It was. I'm struggling to find anything that was an actual improvement in the UI. Most of the changes were trivial and change for change's sake; but some were awful, and none are clearly better.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, it was forced on me. I have updates disabled too. Pieces of shit.

It's not their AI (Bixby). It's Gemini. But yes.

Pretty sure this goes back to the second to last Note. It's been a thing for years now

Power button became the bixby or google assistant button. It's annoying as hell

Holy shit I had no idea until I read your comment. I thought "surely they will have respected all of my opt outs". I guess this is my last samsung phone lol

You can rebind it

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

The kinds of people who want that switched to Google Chrome years ago. Only people who care more about software freedom than convenience are still using Firefox today.

It's not a new updated it's been that way for years.

No my s23 has no bixby buttons. Just power and 2 volume. Samsung DELIBERATELY updated so the POWER BUTTON activated their shitty agent. Only software shutdown was avilable until I changed.

Getting a linux phone when this dies. Fuck samsung.
