I could be mistaken, but since it's a Mozilla base code and F-Droid distribution chain, I'm not sure where Google can stick it's thumb in the pie.

I thought her insights were practical and grounded. Do you disagree about the factual nature of their anecdote about engagement with cameras off? Or that the anecdote isn't indicative of general audiences? Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by "what actual people are actually like"?

It's worse then that. They're actively profiting from that discount rate, meaning they're ludicrously profiting from everyone who doesn't spend half their life getting discount codes (the cost of convenience)

Nah. I've been advocating for Linux for decades. For decades I've been trying to convince people to switch on its own merits, but none of that has been effective.
