Calling smartphone equipped teenagers 'digital natives' is a mistake because a smartphone makes you a consumer rather than a native of anything.

For those wondering if it’s worth impeaching @realDonaldTrump@twitter.com, it means he:
1) loses his 200k+ pension for the rest of his life
2) loses his 1 million dollar/year travel allowance
3) loses lifetime full secret service detail
4) loses his ability to run in 2024

That’s not what I thought the FSFE stands for.

You know the European Cloud to enable sovereign data infrastructures is on an incredible path to miss its main objective when a company founded by Peter Thiel and invested into by the CIA is there to build it since Day 1! 🤦‍♀️ https://twitter.com/PalantirTech/status/1339903435672580098
