If you asked me 10 years ago I would tell you that I really like Microsoft. I just can't anymore. Same story with Google and basically any other "Big tech" company. It's all gone.

I went fishing in the USA couple of times and never caught a bass but I did catch a humuhumunukunukuapua'a.

Let it be all you hope for

Remember the human.
