Unrelated: If I could do a Yesterday scenario, I would choose to be the only one who remembers The Offspring, and then I would record and copyright all of their songs and never release them to spare the world that crappy garbage.

What a cool project. That’s on the way to being what I need, but it still can’t do reminders. Honestly, reminders are the only thing I want because of absentmindedness. I think I’ll just schedule send text messages to myself going forward. Not as simple as saying it out loud, but sending a text is pretty muscle memory at this point.

You realize your solutions are much more cumbersome and different than saying “hey phone, remind me that my football game starts tomorrow at 1pm”, right?

It’s all moot because I’ve disabled gemini on my phone because it is bad at the tasks I used Google Assistant for. So in the end, I just don’t have an assistant app anymore.

It was nice for the last many years to be able to say “hey Google, remind me in one month to give the dogs their flea meds” and then sure as shit, one month later, it told me like magic with a ding and a notification.

I wonder what happened to all the scheduled reminders I had already for months to a year from now … Gone, I guess.
