What's up with printing lame jokes every few seconds? The last thing I want from a tool like this is my eye to be drawn to the window all the time as if something had changed and needs my action. (Having a spinner is fine, having changing variable length text isn't.)



can disable it from accessibility setting. it does show model thinking instead of joke when that’s available.


Thanks, but where are those accessibility settings? /help shows nothing related to settings other than auth and theme, there's no related flags, and there's a ~/.gemini/settings.json that contains just the auth type.

No mention of accessibility in https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/0915bf7d677... either
