Unless you're someone who gets really anxious/paranoid about being tracked by a BigCo, I can't imagine it making an outsized impact. The weirdest thing might be how that activity tracking is used to try and sell stuff to you,

We actually went with knex/objection specifically because there was a planned migration to postgres that it would simplify, and we'd be able to migrate different databases in stages. Plus it was integrated into feathers, and knex

Well the argument for that at the time was that the only people who really received any halfway decent education were wealthy white landowning men. The idea being that education's important for comparing policy and making a good decisi
