The irony of people defending apple because its "safe" and doesn't let you "shoot yourself in the foot" in a forumn named Hacker news.
What is happening to hacker culture? I think as influx of new programmers increase, awareness on the culture's ethos of freedom, liberty, anti-authoritarianism, anti corporatism has to be increased.
Or we will have people loving to be jailed by their benevolent overlords in "apple/google/facebook/etc"
- joemi 9y agoNot everyone shares your _exact_ ideals, even amidst those sharing the hacker ethos. In the same way that not everyone sharing the hacker ethos is as extreme as Stallman. In the same way that not everyone here uses linux distros exclusively. Clearly there's a spectrum of beliefs/ethos. Otherwise, you could pedantically point out something that's not purely hacker-focused about almost every single post on HN.
