Military isn't quite as aggressively catering to the people who historically have bullied techies as they used to.
Aside from that - there's a lot more people in tech now. It grew too fast too quick to maintain all the values it had back in the 00's and earlier.

- rockskon 7mo agoValues relating to mistrust of the military (as per the context of the post I responded to) as well as values relating to ownership of the tech you bought and of personal privacy. Get off your high horse and stop talking down to a person you don't know. Take your anger out on someone else.
- K0balt 7mo agoYeah, it wasn’t some kind of ethical utopia, but it sure as hell has gotten a lot less ethical in real terms. When you start Making things operate in ways that people dislike or are deceived by, it’s a very slippery slope, because everything from there all the way through eating babies is just a matter of degree. Trite as it may seem, don’t be evil is actually a very, very strong statement, as is do no harm. 70 percent of tech market cap these days is a a million tiny harms, a warm pool of diluted evil.

- saltyoldman 7mo agoI think you went off the rails to quickly potentially. He's referring to places like Google or Microsoft having to back out of deals regularly with countries and US agencies after employee backlash. It seems like now days the backlash is indeed smaller and the heads of said companies are willing to move forward anyway. That is a significant change from the past.
