That insane bug was reported many times, and every time the developers reply that they won't fix it, it's our workflow that's broken.

Are we sure GNOME developers aren't some kind of agents provocateurs working against free software?

I am fighting this. I was given requirements to implement fraud and I said no. They gave it to a contractor. I said roll it back. They said no. I reported it up. They constructively dismissed me. I continued to report it up to the most sr. lawyer in the organization. They retaliated.

So I reported it to government agencies and am waiting on a response.

We are the ones who are doing these things. Us. The engineers. We have a responsibility to the people.

We are derelict in our duty.

We have to stop writing the code that is destroying the world. We have to hold our employers accountable.

We are the only ones who can stop this.

Sit. on. your. hands.

Stop destroying people's minds and lives with your code.

YOU are doing it.

YOU. The people who work at facebook and google and ad networks and content farms and high frequency traders and weapons manufacturers and climate changing organizations.

It's us. We are the engineers. We are the ones with the power.

It's up to us. The world is dying because of us.

It's not the business people making the profits. They aren't doing it. WE are.

This is another way in which inequality is persisted. Private schools overwhelmingly tend to teach phonics while those who go to public school end up being taught the 3-cueing system.

Getting the schools to change approach requires political action against powerful lobbies. While a private school needs good outcomes to justify it's prices so gravitate to systems that produce that outcome.
