Sorry, this thread has devolved into philosophical BS. In the end, we all choose what tools we use to Get Shit Done. Unless you are a true zealot like RMS, using *only* Free software and services, you make compromises about these tools all the time.
So perhaps, in your opinion, google is OK and facebook is not. Perhaps using MS office is distasteful but necessary. Everybody makes these choices, but the truth is that they are just compromises, subjective reflections of our feelings. And that's fine! So long as you are honest about the fact that you are against using something because of a feeling. Me personally, I think that facebook is one of the best available solutions available for my problem, even if it isn't a *good* solution. While I recognize that there are some free-software "fundamentalists" -- or even just people for whom that principle has a higher weight than mine -- the reality is that no other tool really meets my needs quite as well right now. Right now, I'll get going with the tool that works to *get something off the ground*, as opposed to wasting time debating whether or not to paint this bikeshed orange. The fact remains that nobody cared deeply enough to write a good alternative, and that is why this is a bikeshed discussion. -I -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyWeb-IL" group.
