“Do no harm”, that’s the Hippocratic Oath.

Here is Google showing blatant malicious compliance to their own standards. “You want security notifications for payments made through your account? Have a side of ads with that”. They’ve fallen real low since the days of “do no harm” 😞

“Do no harm to the stockholders” would be the contemporary take.

More like the Hippocratic Option amirite? 🤜🤛

Close, but it was “don’t be evil”.
KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 years ago
“openly evil”

Which is still in the google code of conduct.

It is there but almost as a quote… It’s at the end and it just says “and remember, don’t be evil!”. It’s not part of the actual code, so I guess it’s just for show and nostalgia.

It’s literally there as it was previously. They removed it at the start to say “do the right thing” instead, but don’t be evil is there too. It was a drummed up controversy over nothing.

That was always sarcastic.

True, thanks 😏
