"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

She had babies though

mine didn't, she just posts everything she eats, not sure why fb thinks I am interested as I scroll past all of them in a hopeless search for the posts from my actual friends, which it refuses to show me.

Idk anything about this fellow but there’s some interesting history if nothing else.

The only people I know who use WhatsApp are South and Central American immigrants who talk to their relatives at home that way. They'd be really screwed if it went away.

I think we just need to be able to “poke” other ilx’ors here and we might never need Facebook again

How long has Apple been able to sustain their death spiral?

Its death spiral of making very popular things that cost a lot of money and selling them?

Apple is pretty much an old school traditional business compared to FB, Google etc

Apple has much more in common with Nintendo than FB or Google

otm, also they have actual stores you can go to if you have issues

Sammy the Bull with the inside scoop

The only people I know who use WhatsApp are South and Central American immigrants who talk to their relatives at home that way. They'd be really screwed if it went away.

the only people I know who DON'T use WhatsApp are North Americans. entire governments in Asia and Africa are run on WhatsApp.

this morning, govt ministries here in Malaysia were scrambling to set up alternative chat groups on Telegram in case there's another outage.

i used it when I was in the Philippines, it was basically how i kept in contact with the local partner site there and arranged pick-ups.

Camaraderie, there's this thing where you click on three dots next to someone's name, and three of the options are literally:

- see fewer posts like this
- temporarily stop seeing posts
- stop seeing posts but stay friends

but if I actually engage with it then the battle is lost.

I wish insta had a fewer posts option. Some people post waaay too much. Only option is to mute them and then they’re kind of lost forever!

In the last two weeks, I've had three friend requests on my dormant account from girls I knew in junior high school. Keep in mind it was a small school, so we're talking about a pool of only 20-30 people.

I guess one of them friend-requested me first, and that made me pop up on the others? It's weird though. I would've been flattered 35 years ago, but now, no way. Not going to be a part of whatever algorhythm they've got buzzing up there.

Besides, they can find me on Twitter.

Faced with a similar sitch, I’d probably accept. Junior high was a special time

a time I'd never like to relive

Sorry brah

Accepting them would put Sarah Huckabee Sanders into my timeline faster than a heartbeat.

Thread name change request.

Don't think the site's name is changing? Kind of like Google brands now being under "Alphabet"?

change the thread title to "Illegal Money Laundering Scheme discussion thread"

o i c

xpost

I vote for YouFace

can i say you launder my money on Facebook?

can I say you're my bookfriend on Facegirl?

dude, meta

never meta bookfriend I didn't like

i think of it as The Birthday Site

There's no I in Meta

Meta = Eat M

So close

But there is a "me"!

".. a lot of us will be creating and inhabiting worlds that are just as detailed and convincing as this one, on a daily basis."

So while you're actually working graveyard on a poultry processing line, your Meta-Me can be soaking in a crowded hot tub in Monaco

How did I miss that Facebook has a tech guru avatar called Boz?

1.) everyone will keep calling the company "Facebook", just like everyone still calls Alphabet "Google"

2.) i take it this is just so if lawmakers try to make them divest Instagram (which really should have triggered antitrust issues when they bought it IMO) they can pretend "oh it's all just another service that Meta provides, it can't really be separated"

Yeah, he's probably going to announce an exciting new strategic partnership with the Cayman Islands as well

it would only take a tiny bit of effort for zuck to achieve mark davis hair

he wants us plugged into vr machines all the time right?

seems very ominous.

This is hell.

who wants this?

Rebooting Second Life after less than 20 years is a bold move.

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR POOR DOG DICKHEADS

That animation looks like a Nickelodeon show from 2003

People announcing bullshit (also looking at you Apple keynote presenters) need to put their hands down

Oh wait. I remember this video.

People announcing bullshit (also looking at you Apple keynote presenters) need to put their hands down

There are local TV ads featuring some NY state health official encouraging people to get vaccinated (and get flu shots) and I can't fucking stand to watch them because the guy giving the spiel a) only says about two words at a time before pausing for dramatic effect, and it never follows natural speech rhythms, it's like if Christopher Walken had aphasia and b) has clearly stolen all of his hand gestures from obsessively watching YouTube videos of Obama from 2008.
