I find Gemini has better communication and comprehension ability compared with assistant, but can do even less when it comes to controlling the phone. No reminders, no calendar events, no messages, no integration with anything. Just talking.

I would have preferred assistant talk and understand better, instead of a completly gimped alternative that does that and nothing more.

It’s still there for me, called Fediverse Forums. It’s a lens you can disable or reorder so maybe you did and forgot about it? It’s also different to Forums lens which doesn’t seem to include Fediverse for some reason.

Has had it for a while and can easily be toggled between normal search and lemmy search, forums, academic, pdfs, etc. It’s glorious.

I don’t know how they are now but a couple of years back Mazda was on the other extreme for me. I don’t want to fiddle with a dial when all I would need is one tap. I don’t want to squit at a tiny screen to descipher the map. I don’t want to jiggle the knob for half an hour to write in 3 words in a search bar.

Having both a decent infotainment and also physical buttons for the most important functions is possible and there have been others that have done it better.

The biggest forum style ones are https://forocoches.com/foro/forumdisplay.php?f=2 & https://www.meneame.net/ But also algorithm driven ones like Instagram and tiktok.

Spain had smaller presence on Reddit as well. They tend to keep to other spanish speaking forums, often shared with Latin America.

Basically because there are so many Spanish speakers in the world, spaniards don’t even bother to learn English or interact with the broader internet.

It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it’s gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.
