"Google issued a stern warning to its employees, with the company’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, saying, “If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again,” according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC."

Well on the bright side, getting fired from one of the largest mega corps in the world for complaining about the company’s providing resources to kill civilians is a hell of a thing to be able to put on your resume.

On the not so bright side, I don’t like being a background character in a cyberpunk story.

From what I've seen, being a main character in one would suck way worse though.

Probably, but I would much rather be a background character in the intro to a space opera instead.

You mean those who are on a huge space station that gets blown to bits during the intro sequence?

Yay, space opera! 🥰

Highly recommend almost everything by Peter F. Hamilton if you haven't read them, arguably top 3 space opera authors ❤️

Edit ...: and Boo! Google!

Where's the best place to start?
