Why spend time on privacy when he's so busy smoking meat! https://youtu.be/eBxTEoseZak

This is absurd. What the fuck are we paying for with our electrical bills? What a dumb argument to make. "stiff taxes on energy"... Jesus Christ. We can get electricity from any number of sources. Taxing the _energy_ itself is absurd. Tax dirty energy if you feel you have to.

LOL

People are like: "meh, they broke a contract" but if Apple did this, I bet there would be ravenous pearl clutching. The double standard is palpable.

Maybe the question should be: why aren't UI/UX designers donating time like developers are?

It's not punishment if it's self inflicted...

He's a designer, it kind of comes with the territory, necessarily - if you don't believe in your designs you're not really putting your effort into it.

How many of you keyboard warriors complaining about "people's feelings" were abused in high school? Do you remember that shit? This is about defining that bad behaviour and excising it to make a healthier community. You can still reject code. You can still reject changes. You just can't be an asshole/bully about it.

Well for one, I don't think this is a document saying they have to accept all changes that anyone makes. It's saying: be nice about rejecting their shit. For two, open source software is an inherently social thing. You're building something with people for people. There's merit in realizing that communication and fostering healthy social atmosphere will lead to better software and a better community. No-one complained with i18n or a11y, because it is a good thing. Likewise, it is good to not be a dick about stuff.

Language changes. There are plenty of words that describe something that we no longer use, in preference of other words. It is not offensive to change the terminology, so why bother keeping it? Tradition? Is that really a reason to keep something?

But the way this was all handled was utter bullshit.

This is exactly like if you stored cash at somebody else's house and they got robbed. Do they have insurance? Did they say they would cover any theft of your money? If not, you're probably SOL.

I wish all these people who liked working for facebook liked being ethical more. Facebook is doing some really fucking scummy sketchy shit when it comes to people's privacy. It's not cool.

What happens when everyone is an entrepreneur and the workforce is robots?

Or, you know, everyone working 80 hour work weeks could just not work 80 hour work weeks.
