when I was growing up and my parents kind of told me, “Okay, go do your homework and then you can play with your friends.” I actually think in retrospect, those friendships were probably more important than the homework
careful dude you might strain yourself thinking these deep thoughts.

When I was a kid and I'd visit my grandma in Chicago I remember her taking me to some pier mall thingy by the lake, forget what it was called but it was like a souped up entertainment mall that had mini golf. They also had this VR thing called Battletech, which was a mech war. I would always get really hyped up to play, and then it would feel like this huge buildup, but then it was just kind of an awkward and hard to control
I remember the first iteration of this called Virtual World. So. much. money spent on the place...

just in case you needed another reason to delete your facebook...
FB paying one of the largest Republican consulting firms in the U.S. to orchestrate a campaign seeking to turn the public against TikTok, including opposition-research tactics, smear campaigns, sending fake letters to newspapers pretending to be "concerned parents" tying TikTok to dangerous teen trends that actually started on Facebook, targeting of new outlets trying to get headlines like “From dances to danger: how TikTok has become the most harmful social media space for kids", and other similarly ethical tactics you'd expect from a firm that's one of the biggest recipients of GOP campaign spending (over $237m in 2020), the biggest payments coming from national GOP congressional committees and a pro-Trump super-PAC.

is Meta going to have to change their name again when this gets out? (I mean, it IS out but there's not much of a buzz about it)

My account has been hacked and because Facebook sucks, I can’t get back in. My email has been changed and ph number erased - so the only way to get in is to be sent a code, but only through the email it’s been changed to

No - Facebook will only send a recovery code to the new email that’s been added to my account
― just1n3, Saturday, 20 May 2023 17:05 (eleven months ago) link
That's really dumb. I had thought they'd give an alternate way to authenticate if you report being hacked.
I had a friend of a friend get locked out by a hackers and get back in, I'll ask what they did

In the last few days I've noticed my feed seems to be almost entirely suggested posts with the odd meme from groups I follow. Hardly any content from my friends. Not sure exactly when this encroachment truly started but it's lousy

You can curate this somewhat with the show more / show less buttons. Whenever I see a post from a friend I tell it to show me more like this. Whenever I see a suggested post I tell it to show me less like this. It seems to be working, at least for me.

If you view FB in a browser rather then app you can install Facebook Purity which gets rid of all that shit.
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 6 September 2023 17:55 (seven months ago) link
lol Purity has been amazing. sadly I tend to use it more on my phone these days but it gets all the keywords you wanna avoid out, plus that stuff too
