  Stadia was the last straw for me. I kept my pixel phone but I replaced and ripped so much Google out of my life.

  I replaced my nest cameras, and my Google wifi router. I ditched my Google home speakers and displays. Migrated everything from gmail except for Google related garbage. Unsubscribed from Google one. And no more books Google play. No movies or TV’s on Google play either.

  And lastly I use duck duck go as my primary search.

  A lot of time and money but my spite knows no bounds apparently.

  I feel like all these giant legal teams have such incredible capabilities to push lawsuits however and wherever they want - it’s honestly hard to just keep up with what is happening and why.

  This article does a good job of explaining as Ars typically does. But every lawsuit we read about these days is so convoluted that I can’t really understand it as much as I would like to.

  Can’t speak for the author as to their intentions, but that’s what I took from it.

  I would just add, it doesn’t matter if it’s for food or for a game or anything else, an animal died. And in this case it was cheaper to get meat and take an animals life than make a digital version.

  I’m not vegan, I’m not trying to speak for others, but it is my takeaway that the point is an animals life is worth less than a digital steak.

  The headline is click bait imo but the article makes a somewhat valid point about the larger use of animal products in everything. The article lists paper money in the UK as an example so a vegan is essentially unable to use paper money without conflicting with their ideals.

  I would say the point of articles like this is a reasonable way to bring awareness of how ubiquitous animal products are in everyday items.

  I think it’s a valid topic with a headline written by marketing and an article written by someone with a point to make.
