last month when my car and I were smashed to bits by a drunk driver, just as the fire department was pulling my broken body through the crumpled door, the dashboard started flashing GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE and I did not need that. I did not.

    Oooh … Google Assistant has almost single-handedly convinced me to figure out how to install LineageOS. I’m trying to do something and it insists on inserting itself into my business. I loathe how persistent it is too. I’d be fine if I could uninstall it. You know, I’d cut a PERSON out of my life for so consistently refusing to respect my boundaries.

      You can mostly shut the assistant up by going to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Digital Assistant App > Select ‘None’

      I don’t know other Android skins change this flow but it should work on most running close-to-stock Android

      So much yes.

      I’ve got an older phone I use purely for GPS navigation. I’m planning on loading it with Graphene as an experiment
