Well, for me at least, his advocacy for Free Software is irrelevant to his assertion that his open source project should not require a ToS and login to contribute to. It might explain his motivations, but it doesn't invalidate his pos

"Github is proprietary communications tool which requires users to accept a terms of service and login." Is that not a practical reason? Why should OSS be behind a ToS?

Another one I found is that advocating for privacy is a quick way for downvotes. Lots of users here run businesses that thrive on user-generated data so it makes sense they would prefer more control and liberty with the data in their servi

I usually just used something like Lync or another instant messenger that allows statuses. That way you can set online/busy/away/out-to-lunch and so on as well as custom statuses. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

There is an anti-privacy demographic on HN, ex - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8111288 It makes sense though, so many people run companies that sell, exploit, mismanage, abuse user data, or outright ignore privacy is

He is actively saying that privacy is a bad habit, but yet he won't demonstrate that he believes what he says by posting his history. Heck, all he has to do is screenshot (or copy/paste) everything from https://history

Not only that, but why is it reasonable to remove the choice of privacy? That's the part that concerns me the most about these discussions, is the way "the internet" should either be all one way, or the complete opposite. T

So how do you feel about internet privacy as a whole? I see a post like this and my reaction is, "I don't want everything I do to be public, intended or not" and in that case, I do want privacy. I know if I post a comment o
