There's still a big world outside the Internet, and yet ironically, we live in a world where some employers are so stupid that they won't hire someone without a Facebook, making the abuse and surveillance of Internet more relevant than it needs to be.
You know what's my thought towards such employers? A big fat FUCK YOU! Those are companies, where I rather collect unemployment benefits than ever working one day for such an outfit.
The same sentiment is extended to any service, which requires me to have a Facebook (or any other social media) account.
- angersock 13y agoRight, right, but for everyone that isn't a lean rockstar Node ninja programmer agile kanban expert--e.g., most of the population of the United States--it is far, far too easy to weigh going hungry against getting a "harmless" Facebook profile.
- tambourine_man 13y agoNo programmer is going hungry in the US.

- glesica 13y agoYep, for those of us who can read, the point of the comment was that not everyone has as many options as programmers.
- tambourine_man 13y agoReplying to myself as this could have been misunderstood: programmers are not going hungry in the US, and yet, comply with things they may consider unscrupulous. We shouldn't, even if we were starving, but that's a tall order for most human beings. I'm not intransigent, but I try not to redraw the line of how low I'll go according to context.
