@Gregozor2121 It's FAANG. Short for "Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix or Google". You know, the kind of word people with little pricks use to make themselves feel bigger and nobody else does.

@cprn Oh, the mass surveillance companies! You learn something new every day, I guess :)
So, I’m a software engineer at one of the FANG companies, and a “friend” from college that I haven’t talked to in years suddenly messages me, asking for my work email. I’m like, why would you ever need that? And he replies, “I’m gonna send you an email with a link, can you open it from your work computer? I’ll pay you for doing that, and it’s totally legal.”
Yeah... how about fuck no.
He blocked me after I refused.
