individually we need to stop working for unethical companies
we are the ones building these tools, reading these articles / comments sections, and talking with our colleagues and friends working on developing these products
we just have to accept that our takehome might not be as large at the end of the pay-cycle. feels better spending it tho :)

The more we delegate the less we see. I don't like to transfer web to real world but a more peer to peer life could help. Sorry for the fuzzy comment but with the advent of advanced robotics and ubiquitous computing, we'll probably have no choice but to rethink daily lives.

- ClumsyPilot 5y ago"individually we need to stop working for unethical companies" Has there been a single case in history where this worked? has this been an issue for drug gangs, mafia, loan sharks, tobacco, alcohol or gun companies or any kind of evil organisation, ever? If not, maybe we should stop parroting it?
- jareklupinski 5y ago> drug gangs, mafia, loan sharks, tobacco, alcohol or gun companies or any kind of evil organisation it is easier to come up with manageable solutions when you don't try to conflate the mafia with a search engine, or Beretta with a social network don't search for a one-size-fits-all solution or it will seem impossible; focus on one at a time
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoThe solution proposed fits nothing, as far as I can tell you might as well try exorcism.
