Obvious joke is obvious. I looked at the date immediately after reading the title. Now, if that was to be discussed for C++23, that could indeed be plausible... yet still unlikely.


> Another theory floated by multiple employees is that Facebook has been targeted by spies or state-level actors hoping to embarrass the company. “Keep in mind that leakers could be intentionally placed bad actors, not just employees making a one-off bad decision,” one wrote.

Who could they be? Democrats or Chinese?


I have used youtube-dl with video_entropyd on a newly created DO server. Could be a nice alternative for anyone who hasn't physical access to their server to install such a dongle.


The sudden push from journalists to detach their readership from facebook is remarkable. They media has been pushing the social media website very aggressively from 2007-2008 up until very recently.

Just a few days ago I used a chrome extension to delete all my likes/reactions, posts, and comments (I cringed multiple times while it was scrolling and deleting them). I left 3 or 4 of my photos, and decided against deleting the whole account only because it's an invaluable address book. Realistically, the inertia of people to leave it will keep me as a user for a long time.


What extension is that?



I can never understand how can Reddit's subs, such as girlsgonewild, not require proof that the participants are indeed adults who are not being exploited by others.

On the other hand it might be better a better deal for a number of people to perform webcam "modeling" instead of being constantly exploited as a sex slave.


The car driver was half the time not looking at the road! Who the hell drives like that.

Jaywalking or not, the victim was clearly a pedestrian (not riding her bike), the insurance of Uber (Uber itself?) should compensate the victim's relatives. If it doesn't I expect a huge backslash.


He wasn’t driving.


One can still find the id, even when a person has chosen a username that masks it. Right click the block option of a user you are not friends with, copy the link and voila, you've got the user id now.

I mostly use that to see public but normally inaccessible pictures of people I am not friends with (i.e. pictures they've been tagged in).

Try it yourself (for some reason this only works on desktop mode): https://www.facebook.com/search/{$PUT_THAT_ID_HERE}/photos-o...


It gives a partnership vibe, in contrast to the default "we are using you" one.


Just a note to anybody who wants to try their free tier, they add a tapatalk-like message in every e-mail you send ('this email was sent via protonmail' or something in that nature), unless you pay.

It's not like the e-mail receivers couldn't already see the host, but I was unaware of that when I was registering an account, so I'm calling that a dark pattern.

At least it was easy to self-delete it afterwards.


It is just a default email signature that you can see in your compose window and delete manually if you do not wish to pay.


No, it is not. It is not related to the signature settings anymore.


It is. They add it automatically on mobile but you can delete it. And it's never on desktop. Just tried to send from both clients and didn't have any extra added to the message.


When was your account created? Mine was created in the previous 30 days.

I even had brought up the browser's dev tools and tried to disable that setting but with no luck. It might had been a A/B test, or specific only to my country, but the point remains that it was a separate setting than the signature and it was impossible to disable it without paying. On desktop.


Are you still able to manually delete the added line from your email messages at compose time?


Thank you for sticking with me, I'll try to create a new account in a few days. I don't rule out the possibility I am wrong about this.


Indeed. I read a great comment somehow related to this on Quora [1].

How can possibly Spotify diversify its income though?

Video? I feel like they have a reputation for being good about paying artists, there's a need for a Youtube replacement that lets video creators act more like record labels for their own content instead of being passive participants in the Youtube ecosystem and subject to their whims.
