Maybe it is time to cut down on the ridiculous salaries for actors and athletes? Unless of course, the remaining subscribers think that it is still a good deal.
It is ok! It not like they try to sell it as a premium product at a premium price.:P
(full disclosure: Recently, I made an impulse purchase and bought the cheapest iPad, a hospital patient needed a distraction and it seems fine for that use when there's proper WiFi)
We need all those animated GIFs back too. And.MID files that plays something that almost is recognizable, a page view counter with 12 digits so we know it got 000000000139 page refreshes from the author.
Everyone and their parents, and even grandparents now knows that Facebook is awful. But are there a real alternative? I am not going to join Facebook again.
I used to be sad about the decline of the "science" based channels on cable tv(back had cable TV) and their change into reality TV. But there is just so much on YouTube where I can learn new things that are far better than the shows on TV provided in terms of information.
I watch YouTube all the time and have no interest in the people in this rewind thing because I am an old fart.:D My favorite channel at the moment are a about a guy sailing up and down the canals in England in his narrowboat. Very relaxing.:D https://www.youtube.com/channe...
"I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too"
But my point is that there's plenty of stuff on YouTube that seems to (thankfully?) be off the hype radar and lives it own quiet happy life. A lot of people my age don't seem to know that, maybe because they are not logged in to google/YouTube when they get the front page. I tried that once, it's awful. Cheers.
YouTube's Content ID will flag their uploads if they don't alter the video and audio. Apparently, Patreon isn't as quick to shutdown accounts of pirates as they are to people that offends someone.:D
We set them up in either a RAID or EC configuration or other redundant configuration , so that the operations department can swap them out when they fail without downtime. Unless we start to see an unusual high number of failures, we don't care.
Every time I go through US immigration border control, I wish we had something similar instead here in the EU instead of just waving everyone through. (There's some "nice" stories about certain flight routes from African countries where there are virtually no check)
Look at the ESTA form that is part of the US Visa Waiver program. They even want a list of all your social media accounts. Last time I applied, it was still optional, but I bet it is only a matter of time. Of course there is a worry what they think of people who doesn't use Facebook or Twitter.
There are many reasons not to use Facebook. I realize that it has its uses as well. But I only need this old bit of news not to open an account on their site again.
Facebook reveals news feed experiment to control emotions Protests over secret study involving 689,000 users in which friends' postings were moved to influence moods https://www.theguardian.com/te... --- It has published details of a vast experiment in which it manipulated information posted on 689,000 users' home pages and found it could make people feel more positive or negative through a process of "emotional contagion". ---
I now avoid Twitter altogether, while the updates from people you follow could be useful and interesting, the following comments are guaranteed to make your day worse. Twitter seems perfect for people with no insight or talent to blare out their stupidity and get it amplified by other numbskulls. Worst of it all is that the panicking old news is latching on to that to create clickbait news in a failing attempt to stay alive. Self-destructive behavior. "Let's see what people say on Twitter", for the love of God, NO! You have lost all credibility as a serious source of information.
The sad thing is that the news media looks to Twitter to find "news", someone offended by something. The worst possible thing that the old media has done is "let's see what people say on Twitter".
"If I am outraged enough or offended enough, maybe I get to be in the news"

Twitter sucks, nothing but negativity, I found no joy in using it. It was worse than Facebook. :D
But is slow charge not still better for the battery?
Seems like Neato is more clever. I like the capability to mark areas as off limits in a map.
Some are using Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp for different groups of people. Like Facebook are for talking to your grandparents and don't mix them. :)
Hi Tesla.
Just get the money up front.
Best regards
The rest of the EU
It's a good thing that TV isn't that important to me anymore. :D

What they want is to swap commands into thoughts.
Obey.
Sounds great. I miss a good sci-fi.
Seems like “don’t be evil” would have filtered that out.

Twitter is full of twats. :)
For a happy life, avoid Twitter.
(At least, don’t read the comments to the people you follow. )
besides, can it see through my neck beard?

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

The only winning move is not to use twitter. :)
Because it is the perfect medium for twats.
