and my BROTHER IN LAW JUST GIFTED ME BALDUR'S GATE 3

i don't really practice any religion, but i really just want to wish blessings and good fortune on him and his whole house

i teared up

i appreciate the candor in the stance nostr:npub15c0uz3l55klsrq6l9zlvmtkvxwv2wy7q0rm7y249qkmzxpaj5gks5thxke took on google's recent #WebEnvironmentIntegrity #WEI commits and proposed future actions. however, if i can't trust a company to draw a line in the sand to refuse subscribing to user-hostile practices by monopolies in the industry, i can't user that company's products. this lukewarm response is very telling
