Is it true that newer pixels have RAM dedicated to AI? And even if I turn of Gemini and delete the app I still won't able to use that RAM?
Is it counted within the usual 8-12gigs or is it seperate?
Just trying to find out incase I buy one for graphineOS

On Pixel 9 stock they mention you can disable AIcore in the settings, so I would assume GrapheneOS is unaffected.

it would be great to have a non-ml degoogle comm. but then i'm also not willing to put in the work to moderate right now so maybe i'm a whiny asshole

My phone won't let me uninstall it. And it shows it's off yet every now and then it rears it's ugly head.
Use Canta & Shizuku
You can uninstall pretty much everything -

- Install adb on your PC
- Enable developer options on your phone
- Enable USB Debugging inside the developer options
- Connect the phone to the PC using USB
- Open a console window of your choice
- Execute
adb devicesand allow USB debugging for this PC on your phone - Execute
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.gemini - Done
You can do that with any app you like, they can all be disabled that way. Beware though: if you disable critical system components (like e.g. your last launcher, keyboard or systemui) you might not have a great time using your phone afterwards.

If nobody whines, people think we are ok with how things are, whining is good, even if we can't do something about it

In Germany we say: "Gemini auf den Sack" and I think it's beautiful.

I don't have a Gemini app on my phone. The only way to somewhat disable it is through the settings app.

Ew, this article is an ad for another company. I feel icky when people try to monetize my basic human rights.
Here's a not for profit article alternative: https://oit.utk.edu/security/learning-library/article-archive/privacy-onboard-ai-google-gemini/

Alternatively:
- Install GrapheneOS
- Never concern yourself with invasive software again
I've never even seen Gemini on my phone.

Pixel 7a and Pixel Tablet since yesterday here.

nobody has to use an operating system made by an advertisement company.
Except for people with locked boot loaders. They really are trapped in some corporate hellscape. That stuff should just be illegal.

It says to turn it off you open the Gemini app on your Android phone and change some settings. I uninstalled the Gemini app completely. I wonder if it's still running on my account somehow.
As far as I know, on Pixel phones it’s integrated. Discovered that my work phone (Pixel 6) suddenly has it, I’ve never installed it, and I can’t remove it.

Yeah. If you never install software that is.
A C64 doesn't run invasive software either.

Yes. A GrapheneOS device and a Commodore 64 are basically the same thing.

My device's bootloader can be unlocked in 5 minutes, yet it's not on any of these lists you shared
