Ainda ando pelo Instagram limitando o tempo a 45 minutos por dia.
Em geral só dá tempo de ver o que me mandam por DM, mas essa semana vasculhei a TL umas 3x.
A Meta tá alagando a minha TL de posts de amigues às vésperas do segundo turno! Só agora mostrando argumentos pra votar contra o fascismo.
Pra mim é deboche! “Ah! Tá reclamando que não mostrei? Pois não mostrei mesmo!”
Que plataforma podre!
Alguém mais passando por isso?
Meta on tuonut alun perin mobiililaitteille kehitetyn Edits-videoeditorinsa tietokoneille. Ensimmäisenä jakoon on tullut macOS-versio, joka on nyt ladattavissa ilmaiseksi.

HOW TO KILL META!
=================
The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents against Meta's abusive behavior.
Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.
Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, and influenced the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.
I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.
People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )
Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.
Here's a plan of action:
1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of the #Fediverse
( https://Fediverse.info/ )
1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.
1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.
1.3) Based on Free Software, auditable by all.
2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.
3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right #Mastodon instance.
4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a semi random Mastodon instance for them.
5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.
6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.
7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️
Migration Details:
===============
1. Set up a website to facilitate the exodus out of Facebook/Twitter.
For example:
Facebook2Fedi.org / Twitter2Fedi.org
2. The websites can be publicized through word of mouth, or any number of other means, not just through ads on Facebook / Twitter / X
3. It's a week's worth of work for an experienced programmer. So the requirements break down as:
3.1 A programmer's pay for 1 week ( or volunteer hackers ).
3.2 Two internet domains.
3.3 managed web hosting costs for 1 year.
3.4 customer support hotline number.
A lot of these costs can probably be covered by existing Free Software projects, which may offer free hosting. We might find enough Fediverse volunteers to operate the hotlines.
Technical Details:
===============
1) The User clicks on a link to go to FB2Fedi.org ( working title )
2) The website guides them on how to get FB to release their data to them.
3) The user jumps through the FB hoops, and downloads an archive of their FB data. This might take a day or two.
4) The website ( FB2Fedi.org ) guides them through setting up a Fediverse account.
5) The website optionally helps them upload their contacts file to the registry hosted by the site ( infosec details to be hashed out ).
6) The website helps them upload their posts and photos etc to their Fediverse account. This might require some parsing scripts, for ETL ( Extract, Transform & Load ).
7) The user's data pretty much stays in their control. Their social network is mostly the data a user entrusts the migration registry with.
Using some cryptography primitives, it might be possible to limit this exposure, and mitigate the risk.

A Brazilian court has blocked #Meta from implementing its new terms of service that allow for the mass scraping of websites.
The court has set a daily fine of $1m reais ($182K) for non-compliance

Pretty sure I'm not the only one who sees a problem with this:
"The warrants are part of a growing use of equity incentives by chip and AI cloud companies to secure massive, long-term purchases from a small group of AI customers, and highlight the circular nature of the AI boom, where companies can simultaneously be customers, suppliers and investors in one another."
"The strategy also risks diluting AMD shareholders."

Not an expert, but this action appears to be dragging a long chain of troubles behind it, both in the U.S. and Europe.

🚨 "Darauf hatte die Polizei auf ihrem Whatsapp-Kanal hingewiesen."
Genau deshalb brauchen wir das #Plus1 Prinzip für öffentliche Kommunikation ✊
As others have pointed out, there could be an influx of newcomers to the #Fediverse from #Brazil who are tired of #Meta 's latest shenanigans while meddling with politics.
If you see them, be friendly and welcoming, and under no circumstances start with "You are using the Fediverse wrong!"
I mean it. We have a serious "Reply Guy" problem around here, and we've already lost our big chance with Black Twitter. Let's not screw _this_ opportunity up, okay?
And that's only the theft they know about.

Sadly - perhaps ironically - this failure of 'Media Institutions" is being discussed on a platform owned by one of the most #fascist examples of "Media Institutions".
Not sure what to make of that. Yes, they are discussing it, and thats great - but #Threads = #Meta = #Zuckerberg

Just as an FYI to all Beeper users, WhatsApp/Meta seem to be continually blocking the Beeper/WhatsApp bridge and immediately restricting accounts for five hours after sending a single message.
Upon trying to contact meta to try and find a resolution all you get is an AI bot who cannot escalate you to a human being, and after resolving fuck all says that they have resolved the issue.
Given how infested Meta products are with AI, this is just another good reason to ditch their products.
Fuck AI. It is utterly useless, dangerous to the environment and is eating our world and economy alive. It is an Orobouros eating its own tail.
Ik ga toch echt echt echt nooit een bril van Meta dragen. Ik vind een zonnebril opzetten al een drama. Denk dat ik dat ding de hele afgelopen zomer met moeite 2 x heb gebruikt. Ligt eigenlijk gewoon in de la te verstoffen.
Ze zeggen dat straks iedereen een slimme bril op heeft. Nou ik zal dan een van de weinigen zijn zonder slimme bril. Tenminste toch zolang ik goed zie.

these #ReverseWordle hints inspired by the hope that now that people may be finally awaking to meta's evils, they will start to leave (but i won't hold my breath waiting for people to do the right thing🙄)
#WhatsApp & #Meta : "Reducir la victoria de #Lula da Silva en #Brasil al uso de una aplicación digital, propiedad de la misma corporación que unas semanas antes buscó censurarlo, resulta tentador como explicación de una campaña histórica, pero es completamente erróneo desde el análisis político, puesto que confunde una parte del método con el conjunto de la estrategia."
