Yo this sucks I just want the phone to make calls and not listen to my conversations for cues to do any goddamn thing
Google Phone team is working on a new feature that will make talking a lot more fun with your friends and family. Imagine saying something funny to your friend with a drumroll sound effect in the background, or expressing love and anger using screen effects with sounds.
plz no
I can see a lot of people using the drumroll thing, and that’s going to let it in the door for so much crap.
It’s one of those things that you can see slowly coming from a mile away, but there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop it.
This is going to be really funny. I’ll be discussing a shooting and we just hear active conflict sounds.
Why?
How about they focus on making sure pixels can receive calls without needing to be rebooted every fucking day.
this is what open source dialer app died for?
Yes, and there are probably other FOSS applications for that as well.
But it is a bit sad to see that Google considers the “phone” part of the “smartphone” be so obscure functionality that they left it’s development to community.
Maybe I should stop living in the past and just accept that the glowing rectangle that we carry around is actually a tiktok machine that can occasionally do some other stuff as well.
