@shafik @regehr I have been telling people just how bad this is for a long time, specifically my family members and close friends and, well, no one seems to care. Because they are addicted to convenience.
They will get ads directly targeted at them in ways that really creeps them out. I tell them how it works and... they don't change at all. They complain about how creepy it is but change nothing in their behaviour and say nothing to those taking and selling their info like this.
I'm at the point where I'm ready to become a real asshole about it because frankly, nothing else seems to work. (Being an asshole won't either, but maybe I'll get somebody riled up.) It's either they don't care or they just think that having a computer do cool stuff they saw in science fiction as a kid makes everything worthwhile.
It's very frustrating and may be why no one really contacts me anymore.
sometimes you see a piece of code so beautiful you simply must commit it to physical media in the most elegant way you know
If not falling for corporate speak means you are better at your job, I guess I'd rate pretty well.

"I might not do 100% of the good I set out into the world to do, so I might as well actively cause harm" is not a winning moral argument. I do not understand why it's being advanced as a serious position worth considering.
That's the kind of troll response that I used to block replies over, not something that gets defended in multiple thousands of words long posts or OSS contribution policies.
What are we even doing here, people? Some of you need to touch Jesus and find grass or something wtf.

The sheer hypocrisy here is completely predictable. "Copyright protection for me, but not for thee."
The whole thing is predicated on theft. But when the thief drops their wares and others pick it up? Oops, sorry. I guess you'll be punished for noticing.
