       @aral I am vociferously opposed to the idea that developers and designers - especially the ones working on Open Source projects - apply the name user as a vehicle for patronization. People who interact with technology are users, them acting in that specific role in that specific context doesn't make them any less peopl-y. The same applies to employees, consumers, etc.Ranting against these context specific terminologies just looks like wilful antagonism.

       @pezmico We treat it as a rite of passage. We celebrate everything and drop some subtle hints about the implausibility of it all while playing along. If and when the small one asks explicitly whether Santa is real, she gets the real answer. I think it is actually part of growing up that they make the breakthrough realisation themselves, kinda like an inoculation against uncritically believing everything later in their life.

       @stux Let's be real. Profit is far from the most nefarious motive people can have on the internet. We should be wary about any corporations running instances but for that matter we should be wary of any large scale instance owner that we don't know. Drawing the line at corporate yes/no is so misleading that it is downright harmful.
