smotched··on Problems with AWS Amplify and its use of DynamoDB
Supabase will never be a realistic option for any company thats heard of mobile.

smotched··on DuckDuckGo email protection beta now open
Its not the results I'm worried about with DDG, after all you just use bing behind the scenes although I think there's some shenanigans there too.

It's your deep financial ties to Microsoft that's worrying. And it seems you're willing to turn your back on privacy/tracking for your friends when Microsoft asks.

smotched··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
The answer to "massive corporations" isn't another massive corporation. These unions operate in the same manner as corporations but produce nothing. The ones at the top get massive bonuses and get filthy rich from your paycheck.

Also the amount of corruption within these organization is insane. They also lobby like corporations (just ask biden) They ARE "corporations" masquerading as a good cause, does that remind you of any tech giants?

Mail or Email? If its email every company does that, including DDG.
smotched··on Bing contract prohibits DuckDuckGo from completely blocking Microsoft tracking
So you're okay with a company promising you privacy (core of their marketing) is in fact willing to instantly change for a Microsoft paycheck?

What you're actually upset about is that someone pointed out their hypocrisy?
