I'm sure the support from MongoDB Atlas is the worst in the market. It's really messed up that they could flip a switch and kill your production, even after you specifically told them not to. PostgreSQL is a far better database than MongoDB.

That’s for now. Look at what they did in Brazil—they banned the use of VPNs and threatened anyone using one with jail time.

No! we should trust the government and the corporations to guide us to the truth.

Informed individuals prefer not to have corporations shield them from potential misinformation.

The foolish move by the German government to close down all the nuclear reactors. The German government is weird.

My main issue with Firefox is the unavailability of a decent profile switching. I know there's some hacky way to get the profile system done, but it is not comparable with Chrome's current profile-switching

Greta is not pro-nukes. Most of the environment activists are not.

NPR cheered when conservative media got targeted and when they came after them they're crying violation of freedom of press. You can't have the cake and eat it too.

A customer who has Amazon's smart devices in his home got locked out of his account. The reason given was that amazon's delivery driver misheard the automated answer of the doorbell for a racist comment. He was locked out of using all his 'smart home' features for days until Amazon gave him access back to his account without an apology or anything of that sort. Basically, if he didn't have proof of the interaction he would've lost access indefinitely.

Same for most of the protests out there. You should not support surveillance even if you're against cause of protest. The government will come for you sooner or later.

So apparently Bill Gates hit up @elonmusk to discuss “philanthropy on climate change” but Elon asked if he still had a half billion dollar short position on $TSLA.

Bill said he hasn’t closed it out, so Elon told him to get lost.
