Google's business model put succinctly.
"The friction with degoogled users is not a bug; it is a feature of a system designed to maximize data extraction. When a user refuses to participate in that extraction, the system treats them as a threat to the revenue stream."
Nietzsche write:
"Google is Dead! To remove oneself from monopolistic, centralised digital systems is to be freed from corporatocratic constraints, making transcendence possible through FOSS development and overcoming trackers and ads. One must embrace eudaimonism to cultivate discipline, creativity and responsibility that utilises true user-centric, privacy-respecting, data-sovereign software without reverting back to centralised corporate networks."
Inside my phone there are 2 or 3 people.
1 of them is having a freak out because I disabled and/or deleted a bunch of their programs. It's is Google.
As I remove core components of Googles system, and replace them with FOSS (eg Fossify Messenger) or privacy and data secure software (eg Protonmail).
Gotta say the freak out is a little annoying. I can't block their pop up notifications occur every 20 seconds.

Oh the funniness of this closing of the Android system.
This marketing capitalist gives us insight into how other capitalists see googles sweeping changes as they close Android. Google has all the power
He does make Android closing sound pretty darn good.
But don't forget this centralises all your data to be only google controlled and owned.
Also, it means that Graphene had to G.O. some-place-else. Luckily, Motorola decided for 2027.
I hope Google gets a €50,000,000.01 fine per device they've forcefully installed malware (Googles Gemini AI) on.
"Hanff has formally accused Google of violating European privacy regulations by compelling users to download a significant volume of data without their knowledge or consent."
"Given Chrome's billions of users, the total number of [infected] devices.. [...]. ..hundreds of millions or billions of devices.."
End of Google!🙏

Just checking out the Helium Browser.
It matches what you'd expect from a Chrome Browser derivative, feelingwise.
As I understand it, the evolution is:
Chrome→Brave→Helium

@scriptkiddie I don't know why people continue to purchase from Amazon.
Absolutely immoral, unethical & totally abhorent.
Human value? Zilch
Care? Zip
Held accountable? Nope
Deplorable? 210%
@ricardo @EUCommission Do we already know what Meta's former lobbyist has trashed in the GDPR? I haven't seen anything as yet.
My suspicion is she will scrape everything, and write into law, "All user data is here-there-of 110% owned by Google, Microsoft, Meta, Twit, [etc.,]"

Downloaded and installed Fossify Contacts, to replace my google contacts manager on my main.
Should have done this last long ago.
