TL;DR
META is crap, and has always been

In his 2024 financial disclosure, filed a year ago, #Trump reported earning >$600 million in total income.

In addition to the income from #coin sales & other ventures, Trump reported receiving $86.5 million from “ #settlements “ in 5 separate [& pure #extortion] lawsuits against #ABC, #CBS, #YouTube, #Meta & #X.

as long as it is under a few pounds, Walmart will deliver you a drone ... by drone.

(it takes about 15 minutes from placing an order, until a stupid-loud drone places it at a garage door)

* drones delivering drones ranks up there with robots building robots, and asking genies for 3 more wishes

Same as the Alberta ‘separatist’ groups. Mainly foreign rage-farmers making bank of people’s gullibility—and of course Meta gets their cut.

Fait.
Depuis une vingtaine d'années.
Et c'est pas si difficile même, pour des non techniciens.

Ici, 0% #Microsoft, 0% #Apple, 0% #Google, ni #Amazon, ni #Meta ...

Liberté totale avec, #Linux, #Firefox, #DuckDuckGo, #eOS, #Lineage, #LibreOffice, #Thunderbird, #Freetube, ...

Et pourtant une utilisation intensive personnelle et professionnelle sur plusieurs PC et téléphones.

TT le monde peut le faire.

If you missed this, the pending legislation "would increase legal penalties in child-harm cases." The person approached by Meta is Senate Judiciary Chair and Santa Ana Democrat Tom Umberg.

"The people, granted anonymity to discuss private negotiations, told POLITICO that lobbyists for Meta have approached Senate Judiciary Chair and Santa Ana Democrat Tom Umberg with draft amendments that would create a pathway for social media companies to gain an exemption from the legislation."

Es wäre schön, wenn die Musikszene in die Föderation kommt. Irgendwie schwerer als gedacht. Wir benötigen OpenMySpace. Sonst hören wir bald nur noch KI-Musik. Wahrscheinlich hat es die Welt auch nicht anders verdient.

What do you think of this. Still want to use Big Tech?

Friday Night … 😄 Be good! #meta

Don’t use #Meta products anymore, but I have in the past. Today, I got an email from the company, and this was the first sentence: “The setting to disconnect your off-Meta activity is going away.” Because…of course it is. This continued #enshittification of the #internet in general and social media specifically is predatory corporate BS - and #TechBros are making it harder and harder to opt out - without taking drastic steps. #SurveillanceCapitalism is predicated on collecting our data to use against us in the marketplace, and lately…to use against us in the political arena as well. It didn’t have to be this way. Thank goodness for the #fediverse, for #FOSS and for those hardy souls who continue to resist #CorporateGreed and #CorporateTerrorism.

Entschädigung von 5000 Euro : Dem Gericht zufolge ist durch die Business-Tools jeder Nutzer für #Meta “zu jeder Zeit individuell erkennbar, sobald er sich auf den Dritt-#Webseiten bewegt oder eine #App benutzt hat, auch wenn er sich nicht über den Account von #Instagram und #Facebook angemeldet hat”. Die Daten sendet Meta Ireland “ausnahmslos weltweit in Drittstaaten, insbesondere in die USA”, wo Meta die Daten “in für den Nutzer unbekanntem Maß” auswertet https://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgaben/2025/09/recht/

🤯 Instagram is testing new iOS push notifications that include a profile photo. Each time the notification is shown on your screen, it triggers a GET request to fetch that image, letting Meta track every on-screen impression.

The app still misuses push notifications to send detailed device analytics about the device (uptime, battery, volume, locale, timezone, memory, CPU, etc.)
