Who would need to press the power button to actually turn off or restart the device, right?

The setting to change this is also pretty much buried under Settings -> Special Features -> Gestures.

(Yes, I have no idea why the Assistant is in German when the phone is set to English either 🫠)

    Google and languages is its own clusterfuck anyway. To this day, I don’t think it properly supports using multiple languages.

    First, English YouTube titles were (often badly) auto-translated to German and I found no other option to disable it but to set my entire profile’s first language to English. Then it began translating German stuff into English instead.

    Is it so hart to implement an option to say “I speak both English and German perfectly well, please stop trying to accommodate some primary language”?

    Bonus: Technical terms being translated one way or the other, usually without awareness of the technical, semantic context that would require a specific translation (or none at all).

    Anyway, that’s tangential.

      I agree, the forced auto-translation is really annoying. There’s a browser extension called “YouTube No Translation” that fetches the original titles and descriptions from the YouTube API and replaces them.

      It’s ridiculous, I already need three extensions to make YouTube useable again. YouTube Row Fixer, YouTube No Translation and YouTube Enhancer. And it’s still garbage in some places.

        Plus SponsorBlock, but that’s not a Google issue. I just can’t stand hearing people say “without further ado” before “but first”. Also, skipping the extra bit at the end of music videos where you get treated to five-second-bits of other songs you didn’t ask for.

        I currently don’t have the patience and spare energy to degoogle, but I admire anyone who does.
