That might be true for whatever moral principals you personally choose for yourself, however if I can't hold anyone accountable for immoral behaviour, because they might have just chosen another set of morals for themselves, that's nihilism.

That's just nihilism, if there are "other moralities" that are just as valid and that I can freely choose, there might as well be none.

The fact that Facebook as _a_ benefit, doesn't make Facebook _a good thing_ as a whole. Of course it's nice to stay in contact with your friends around the world for free, when just some 20 years ago this - if available to you at all - would have cost you loads of money.

Without defaulting to listing what bad Facebook does: Do those benefits really justify all the negative impacts? I hardly think so.

But is it malevolent or just a little lazy? I can't decide.

Here in Vienna there are three companies competing, with Bird having significantly reduced their radius of operation, it is practically unusable now. We have a few "startup-hubs" here and I don't think you can reach a single one by Bird, which seems like a bad strategy.

What I'm saying is, that "we have a choice" is a void argument if you have just been presented with a solid case that one choice is clearly better than the other.

You also have the choice to buy clothes stitched together by children in Southeast-Asia under horrible conditions, but we all know that a responsible consumer decision looks different.

That is a fair way of looking at this, but in the present situation, I would consider the decision about whether to include a Facebook share button on one's homepage (or more generally the question which third-party code you allow to run) as a fundamental question of operating a commercial web site. From an economical perspective, you can't blame anyone for doing it, but if you are, don't claim the moral highground either.

I love my CAT S41 because I don't have any of the issues in this thread and I expect this to stay true for another 10 years.

They will replicate the results, quietly implement a different protocol and never talk about it again for sure.

> lingua franca of coding

In my very bubble, it kind of already is though, not because Python is so good in and of itself, but because you can express general coding/programming ideas in a readable and concise manner. The syntax provides a general way to get your ideas across to programmers with all kinds of backgrounds and to proove they also actually work, anyone can open a shell and see for themselves and tweak and play with your idea.

I'm going to leave https://hashnode.com/ here, because I enjoy it.

You can't overcome behavourial addiction without a change in circumstances. Remove your TV, maybe even restructure all of your space to enable a habitual change. If you are really serious about this topic I would recommend the book "Irresistable" by Adam Alter to you, which is all about tech-related behavioural addiction.

I have de-googled my life completely (Chrome->Firefox, Gmail->ProtonMail, Search->DuckDuckGo, Keep->Simplenote, Passwords->Bitwarden), other than checking in on my old gmail-address every once in a while, which is a minor thing, but the big things are Android and the Google Calendar.

If the Librem 5 turns out to be amazing I'm going to get one, but until then I will just have to use Android for better or worse.

As for the calendar there is just nothing that compares to Google's. A cloud calendar that synchronizes fast and with other apps like Mindbody for example. To my knowledge, there is just no alternative that even comes close.

Well, I need a numpad for Blender though.

Can't be.

Same here. Have you found any viable alternative to the Google Calendar? I'm at the point where I'm thinking about hosting a calendar project from GitHub myself.

Which feature exactly contains the steroids?

I have a similar experience. I have developed a habit of attaching '-jquery' to every js-related search. DDG seems to respect this at all times while Google might just ignore this from time to time, leaving me with useless results.

How does a person get so much flak for hacking - on Hacker News?

Solid, useful work, very well executed (from what I can tell). Thank you!

I agree, and so is the built in data collection.

Yes please.

I have been waiting for something like this for months. This is inconceivably valuable to me. Thank you so much!

Haskell is my guilty pleasure language. I have no idea what I personally would ever use it for, but I admire it so much that learning it is higher up on my bucket list than many other (arguably more useful) things.

No, boneheaded impolite dick is fine dude.

I never had to moderate a community, but I that chronology makes perfect sense to me. I guess it is what it is then.

Fair enough, but can you imagine a CoC that suffices in any situation? You will have situations where someone is acting out and at the same time you didn't think of it in your CoC and you will still be able to identify the behaviour as unacceptable, in most cases rather quickly.

So if I say "well actually..." on your conference I might get escorted out even if nobody took offense, but if I race around on my skates and make people uncomfortable because they are afraid I might run into them, that's fine because it doesn't really fall under any point mentioned in your CoC?

That's obviously nonsense. Just don't be a dick. And if you are, be a dick somewhere else.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know this conference was aiming to "solve all social issues" with their code of conduct.

I really don't get how and - more importantly - why we moved from a common sense of "don't be a dick to other people" to the need to spell out pages and pages of behavioural guidelines.
