minus-squarebobdowl@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·1 year agoNo, it’s just that on Lemmy anything that isn’t open source or self hosted is basically the devil. Google Pixels are great phones, but they come loaded with Google Services and this is what this commenter complains about.

minus-squareGeneralVincent@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoDo you mean a pop up from accidentally summoning Google assistant from holding the home button? I’ve had that issue on a couple Android phones and have had good luck going into settings and disabling it.
