In Project Ghostbusters, #Facebook acquired a #VPN company so they could pay teenagers to use it and then spy on their network activity. We would say the bar for #bigtech is low, but let’s not forget they made enough money in the first week of 2024 to pay all its 2023 fines.…

Never stop trying to learn something interesting.

Never be totally right. Being right means you're done learning. You're closed off from ideas. It means you're satisfied with where you are and not focused on where you're going. Never allow yourself to be totally right.

I always love how @JamesClear just cuts to the heart of a matter. This is another gem. Knowing this is one thing. Doing is another.
