Yeah, same with my dad. Best thing that ever happened to him was a Nigerian scammer tried to hijack his account and FB suspended the account for 6 months.

But then a week later he had some new account with no friends just for the reels. ಥ_ಥ

Zuck just realized that his main FB user base is older conservative people that he can either lose even more to X and Gab, or he can let FB turn into the wild west the users want.

His IG user base is stable, young, and left-leaning. So he still has those users in another segment of the business until some mass exodus to pixelfed that won't every really happen.

I'm also not getting them.

Are....are we robots?

Or are we too human for the robots?

Just a civilian guess, but 2 or 3 Delta V or Falcon Heavy to put 1 payload into LEO with a command module and lander, then 1 booster with fuel. Short of using prototype lander, fabrication would take months at best. Then a Starship or SLS to get a crew, food, and water into orbit.

It's not even that.

The technology never, ever works as well as it's hyped. It's a sales ploy, not a feature.

The purpose is always data collection, and the data is always leaked.

Vulnerabilities and the progression of tech make these kinds of bells and whistles age out of practical use faster, costing the consumer more over the long run.

F this kind of noise in particular, this is not progress.

Globally, this is becoming a thing. Many states have digital IDs already.

Realistically, both paper with a chip or QR code should be valid for a while.
