Say what you want about Google products, but they’re all built to be functional without touchscreens or mice. I fucking love that.
I’ve been daily driving firefox since the early 2000s, but Mozilla is just about the worst offender, because keyboard options exist, but are obviously programing afterthoughts. In firefox settings, there are some “alt” letters (underlined letters that you can select by pressing alt+that letter) But some of those letters are capitalized, so now, you have to press shift+alt+letter. PAIN
Carrot browsing (navigate websites with the keyboard) can be activated with F7. A dialogue box pops up to confirm and it has the option “do not show this again”, but that option is a checkbox only the mouse can check. (no tab over). RAGE
It wasn’t removed, it’s still in the employee handbook

I mean even “do the right thing” raises some eyebrows. It’s easily interpretable as “do the right thing… For the company”
I agree, but it also leaves room for “even when it hurts the company”, too
If they can take advantage of the vagueness, then so can I
It’s still in the handbook. I was working there after any of those articles were written.
Doesn’t mean anything if it’s in there or not - all big companies are evil.
But it is in the handbook. Prominently.
