Welp. Google's AI horseshit has arrived. And I'm not complying. They can pry my ID out of my cold dead hands. I will simply go elsewhere. Remember folks, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR IDs. Do not comply. Resist, fight it, use other browsers or sources beyond youtube and google controlled services. Call them. Email them. Make noise. Fight back.

Samsung is discontinuing its texting app, tells impacted users to switch to Google Messages

Samsung is saying goodbye its namesake texting app, at least for United States customers. According to an end of service announcement publis

So let's talk about this bullshit.

Woke up to this message yesterday, but with the whole "he might push the button" insanity, I did not have the bandwidth to deal about this. But now it turns out that my Android phone has decided to make it the default to try and force me and all their other customers to utilized Google messages instead of continuing to provide a BASIC service of a phone.

Phones in the modern age are for 2 basic tasks: calling & texting. And you're telling me you can't manage that second basic function?

What's next? Gunna try and make me channel all my phone calls through Google calling? It'll be a cold day in hell before I allow that.

I'm already in the process of transfering all my e-mails & drive storage to Proton, for my business too. It's going to be messy and awful, but I'm not giving Google one more inch of my data than I have to and I'm certainly not going to subject myself to more of their FUCKING AI.

I have genuinely loved my 3 Galaxy Note phones. But I will never purchase another Samsung device if this decision is not reversed.

@samsungmobile if you cannot perform a basic service, then you are no longer a functional option.

EDIT: Check out the linked thread, OP made some clarifications. It seems he added what he thought was a bookmark inside Google Search app, but it was a collection instead.

This makes it a problem of "confusing UI" and also whether collections that are not shared with anyone should be subject to moderation too. Which is still a problem, but of a lesser magnitude. --END OF EDIT
