A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Voice assistants go unused by 17.8 percent.

Well, yeah. My options are fucking Gemini, Siri (but I have no iPhone), or Alexa. Fuck those all.

Yea, gemini is fucking useless compared to Google Assistant - it takes for fucking ever (god forbid you try to send a text message right before something interesting is on the radio) and it refuses to work if your signal isnt the best (I cant actually close it when it loses signal - super annoying).
