    most of google’s money comes from ads that everyone already blocks, giving black people away to the gestapo, and blowing up brown people; the upper bound of slacktivism was when stadia failed, i don’t expect gamers to suddenly firebomb AI data centres

          It is? I have a pixel and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad pushed by the os.

              wtyp you can remove that by switching to a FOSS launcher like lawnchair or neolauncher

      ads that everyone already blocks

      30% of internet users use adblockers[1]

      giving black people away to the gestapo, and blowing up brown people

      This is a very small part of alphabet revenue. At the end of the day, Google is still a search company above all else.
