Sunday-Morning Outage Strikes Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp (gizmodo.com)
"We were all free of Facebook's iron grip on the internet for a few hours," writes Gizmodo.
An anonymous reader quotes their report. Facebook and its subsidiaries Instagram and WhatsApp experienced widespread outages on Sunday for the second time in the past month (and the third time this year), with issues reported starting at around 6:30 a.m. ET and extending until around 9:00 a.m. ET. Per Bloomberg, Facebook and Instagram domains ceased to be accessible by users during that time period, while Messenger and WhatsApp were also non-functional... Users worldwide appeared to be impacted, with Bloomberg noting that Twitter users everywhere from the U.S. to Israel and Thailand were complaining about the outage.

Go outside! PUT THE DAMN PHONE DOWN. Walk around like a normal human being used to fucking do! SEE IF YOU IT KILLS YOU
Why bother mentioning a tiny irrelevant nation?
Isn't the magical 'cloud' supposed to prevent outages?
His ideas can really help!

You'd be a moron on either case.

Damn... Oh well. Maybe next time.
Wish it could continue indefinitely.
I don't get it. I am not a user on any of those web pages. And I did not see anything wrong with the internet. It is like the Joker said about people freaking out. In this case, it is applied to a few web pages. People do not give a shit about internet censoring, once it is in place. Yet shutting a few websites down, and people are running around in circles, scared and like headless chickens. My case point.... You do not need all then bullshit web sites. And people are saying "But I need them for contacting friends and families" and my answer to that is "The phone is invented, just make a call".
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work
Get off of social media and give praise to the Lord, America
Agreed. You'd be a moron in either case. Its fine to be Muslim or to be Christian or to be some other religion or no religion. Its not fine to be a jerk, there is no reason to be divisive. Whether the government can suppress your speech or not has nothing to do with how socially acceptable your speech may be. Say whatever you want and I will feel free to think whatever I want about that. Seems easy to apply Forrest Gump logic here, stupid is as stupid does.
Hey, hey, cool it down both sides, messages provoke angry replies from both groups.... Welcome respite.
sed -e 's/Chuck Norris/Rajnikant/g' joke > fact
So glad I lost that need for a Facebook addiction. I just can't believe how many act like its the end of the world when these sites go down. Geez I feel for you, because you might have to actually talk to someone face to face.

His theoretical has merit:
If as a Christian you insult a Muslim on youtube, you're a horrible privileged white male patriarch gun-loving homophobe hell bent on oppressing others, and you'll likely be banned / buried / demonetized.
If as a Muslim you insult a Christian on youtube you're a woke trans gay hoplohobe minority victim who is using your freedom of expression to try to help right a wrong, and you'll be promoted and become the next Youtube Sensation and run for Congress
Did I stereotype enough there to satisfy and piss off both camps at once? Yay?
Fucking thing is bollocks anyway. A social cancer that needs to be cut off. All of it. Facetwit, Youtube, Instadumb... burn them all and replace them with going outside and playing for a while. Ride a bike. Read a book under a tree. Or maybe even talk to people for realz.
The "Civilized World" jumped the shark ca. 1973.
See subject: It's Palm Sunday & I went to church to hear how God showed he loves us with His cross. I attended a cross lighting ceremony last night & helped burn a cross as a sign of Jesus' love burning for the world.
* I prayed to God this morning and He reminded me that I'm His gift to the world & that He wants me to continue developing my hosts file engine.
You ungrateful trolls impersonate & lie about me just like the Jews attacking & crucifying Jesus. I'm God's gift to /. but you reject me just like the Jews rejected Jesus.

Christians and Muslims DON'T Worship the Same God!
I have received quite a few letters recently from Muslims who are insistent that Islam and Christianity worship the same God. If fact, even George W. Bush, a professed "Christian," said the same thing to ABC news correspondent, Charles Gibson...
In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson, Bush said he believes that both Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
"I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty," Bush said. "But I want you to understand, I want your listeners to understand, I don't get to get decide who goes to heaven. The Almighty God decides who goes to heaven and I am on my personal walk," he said.
--ABC News, October 26, 2004
Do Muslims and Christians worship the SAME God? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Allah is a fictitious, fabricated, false god from the 9th century ... the moon god (which you will see later in this article). According to www.thetruereligion.org...
For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God" - and there is only One God. Let there be no doubt - Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all. -SOURCE
As proof that the above claim is a lie, we need only turn to the Koran itself, The Women, 4.171...
"...believe therefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one God; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficient for a Protector."
Clearly, the Koran (written about 600 A.D.) DENIES the Son of God, Jesus Christ! The Koran teaches that God has no Son. In contrast, the Word of God, the Bible, declares in John 3:16...
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
1st John 2:22 calls ALL Muslims "LIARS" because they deny that Jesus is the Christ...
"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."
According to the Word of God, you are a liar and an ANTI-Christ if you deny the Father AND THE SON. Clearly, the Koran and the Bible are completely INCOMPATIBLE. Islam is a big lie, totally contrary to the Word of God. The Koran is filled with demonic lies! There is no common ground, you either believe the Bible or the Koran. You MUST choose! George W. Bush is wrong. The above quote from www.thetruereligion.org is wrong! The Koran is wrong! Islam is a false religion!
Muslims Deny Jesus' Deity, Crucifixion, and Resurrection!
At www.islamworld.net, the following statement appears in large bold lettering at the top of the home page...
"THERE IS NO DEITY WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH, AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS MESSENGER "
In contrast, the Word of God proclaims in Revelation 4:11...
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and
You sure haven't understood the scientific method if you think evolution disproves creationism or that if one part of a book is false, everything else must be false also.
You should consider chilling a bit.

Considering nothing of value was lost during the outage, that should tell you just how valuable the service actually is.
Or if not sunday then every other saturday or whatever. Just get the addicts off line. Not just for their own sake but for the sake of their freinds and family.
Facebook's pages don't even render here. No instagram, no whatsapp either. Whaddayamean, "iron grip"?
It's just one shitty website, and even the entire world-wide web consisting of millions of websites is not the whole of the internet.
The problem, m'dear, is in your own head.
Nothing of value was lost
I was wondering why there were so many people on in the forest. On the trail, I met other people on bikes, people on horses and even some were even walking. 2/3 around the trail however, people seemed to had vanished. I guess they got reconnected to the mothership. :)
Cheers.

MacOS model's not done (I keep telling everyone that when you pull this shit by YOU impersonating me AGAIN) So, pllease, moron - GROW UP, ok?? Thanks!

You sure haven't understood the scientific method if you think that it is necessary for anyone to prove that the book is false.

Facebook is out!
Zuckerberg can't steal information!!!!
Corporatism != Free Market
Is there some way to make this fix permanent?
I slept through it, or maybe I was awake. Either way I didn't notice it at all.
Just cruising through this digital world at 33 1/3 rpm...
As soon as I saw Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp I was primed to read 'outrage' rather than 'outage'.
So glad I quit that bad habit.
My God, it's Full of Source!

Wow, i never thought I'd see a post more tiring than the nazi flags to scroll through.
Well, at least it makes a change from the usual Trump vs. everything else lunacy that every thread eventually degenerates into.

Waaah. Wahhhh.
What utter bullshit. Just logout already. You can do it.
I did not wake up until 8:00am PDT, which is 11:00am EDT and after the outage was fixed. In any case, I do not participate in any social networking. So the outage (and the prior outages) had zero impact on me.
LOL! Speak for yourself - You tell ME to make something good? I already have - why don't YOU do something good for a change vs. trolling me & doubtless others!
* Please... lol!
HOWEVER - I will & DO AIM to create the MacOS version (then, @ last, I'll be done & probably be the LAST software I ever make - ever (@ least for "public consumption" & this one's done well (surprised me how much so in fact)).
APK
P.S.=> You "penguins" around here can BLAME Linux - yes, that's right - but in a GOOD way - I really, Really, REALLY LIKE LINUX (no joke) & haven't even "fired up" my NEW Mac-Mini because I like using it so much (Linux does all I need & it gets better ALL THE TIME - & inevitably, as a I told MS mgt. I met here on /.? Linux, imo, is going to RUN OVER the commercial OS given time (it's tough to innovate, imitation & playing 'catchup ball's EASY by comparison & the "innovation" I see @ MS & yes, even Apple to an extent, looks MORE like creating SPYING & ADVERTISING + TRACKING systems & yes, UBuntu does it BUT YOU CAN TURN IT OFF @ least)... apk
WRONG: "Attention" or "FAME" is bs - I see what happens to those who get those, they get SHOTS taken @ them, worse than I do - NO THANK YOU!
* Only reason I built this was it is the RIGHT THING TO DO & it's needed + IT WORKS https://yro.slashdot.org/comme...
That's all (& you can thanks pals of mine who tried it 1st who told me "it works, put it out there").
APK
P.S.=> Again, as I've done ALL WEEK (& perhaps you ALL should catch it on Netflix about Ted Williams per this quote from him he told his kids (which I agree 110% with): "We have an OBLIGATION to make something BETTER if you KNOW that YOU can...")... apk
IMPERSONATING me AGAIN? GROW UP! Please - IF only for YOUR OWN SAKE, ok?? Thanks.

P.S.=> You have SERIOUS mental issues by the way... apk
Considering how many people live and die by Fakebook, instagram and what not, I'm surprised the crisis hotlines haven't been flooded with calls!
You can see it on GOOD router's lights - constant 'transmit-receive' & that's what "clued me in" to it BUT as I said? KUbuntu's pretty honest on HOW to turn that shit off @ least.
* I don't know about others Linux variants though - or rather, distros I should say (right?).
See - I'd love to have time & machines enough to try them out & especially diff. desktop shells (like xfce, LXDE etc. (I don't like Gnome @ all personally though)) but there is only so much time in a day (above & beyond LIFE duties, the most important of course)).
You WISH you were me? Hey, be yourself & as far as what I do?
WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM MAKING A WHEEL too ala https://isc.sans.edu/forums/di...
(I've been doing THAT for decades but it was a GREAT "New Year's Resolution" on the same wavelength really - more people with SKILLS should be doing it too, make the WORLD a better place & in the SAME MOTION, yourself too... hard work ALWAYS pays off, somehow)).
NOTHING IS STOPPING YOU, but you....
APK
P.S.=> You DO sound like you're 'clued in' to it though & I do NOT get WHY devs would do it ("telemetry" bs - sure, maybe to IMPROVE the OS in some manner, seeing what diff. configs & machine setups gain vs. others by various tunings etc. but NOT when they DO NOT TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE SENDING/GETTING (M$))... apk
FB clearly has scaling issues.
Watching your species implode is the best entertainment this galaxy has seen in millenia. Keep up the good work!
it was a valiant attempt but your failure was imminent. Too parseable. The real apk can't engrish and is grokparsefailure.
See subject + can you show me where I post racist stuff allegedly? Thanks. We'll go from there as it does depend on what you call racist.
* I'd say "NO" but then again it all depends on what YOU call "racist" now then, doesn't it?
After all - Nowadays (& it makes me laugh), if you say "I want my walls of my home to be painted WHITE" it's "RACIS!!!" (lmao) - even though that isn't.
APK
P.S.=> "Onwards & UPWARDS"... apk
and nothing of consequence was lost.
You are a moron whenever you insult someone else. No matter if that's for the religion, the sports or the sex.
