I was surprised I could just delete the Gemini conversation they force on you from the Messages app. Fuck off Google no one wants this.

Have they considered turning it off and never turning it on again? It should solve a lot of problems.

Google sounding like the Fossil Fuel industry. It's not complex or difficult to predict, the more power and clean water you use to run these pointless centers, the more fucked we are.
