No it's a very good phone, but I prefer to leave assistant off, and damned if it doesn't pop up about once a day to ask if I'm it really really sure I don't want to turn it on. Gets annoying
Do you mean a pop up from accidentally summoning Google assistant from holding the home button? I’ve had that issue on a couple Android phones and have had good luck going into settings and disabling it.
No I disabled the assistant. I tend to always do that, because in the past I've found them to be nuisances. This is the first phone where I'll fart and it pops up "want to turn Google Assistant on?"
Wish I had heard of fairphone before I bought a pixel. I have to decline Google assistant popups every fucking day
Is google pixel so bad? I thought those are solid phones…
No, it’s just that on Lemmy anything that isn’t open source or self hosted is basically the devil.
Google Pixels are great phones, but they come loaded with Google Services and this is what this commenter complains about.

Pixels are the best phones to use for Graphene OS. You could also install some other degoogled Android distro, like LineageOS.

Pain in the ass.
You can put a rom on it. Like grafino West, or calix OS. That’ll get rid of the assistant pop-ups.
I realize the names are wrong, but this is Google voice to text. I’m going to stand by Google’s decision. This is clearly how they should be spelled
