Could it be as simple as boys want sex, girls want love???

the future scares the shit out of me. I can envision a society where people become mindless idiots, that go to work to earn just enough money to go home to their 300sqft studio apartments and plug into a virtual, alternate world where they will spend the rest of their lives pretending their actual society doesn’t exist. People will value their avatar more than their own life.

I keep having these images of people sitting in an opium den for days on end doing nothing but “existing” in a dreamworld, but they’re just “plugged in”. I feel like that was a scene from a movie I’ve watched before but cannot remember the title. not the Matrix, but that does also draw some parallels.

Good for reminding people that there are other much more important things happening around them.

just the FB-owned stuff. Twitter is still active but FB/Insta/WhatsApp all down

Apparently, so is Oculus Quest. (Yup, bad idea to have VR tied up with anything FB).

In the meantime, several different domain registration companies listed the domain Facebook.com as up for sale. There’s no reason to believe this domain will actually be sold as a result, but it’s fun to consider how many billions of dollars it could fetch on the open market.

Well given TAN has not been disrupted I think we all know which is the best social media platform :wink:

probably see an uptick in interaction for a little while.

I think it’s fantastic that a whole bunch of “influencers” aren’t influencing shit. LOL

Been seeing that there’s some tribunal taking place tomorrow and there’s a Facebook whistle-blower. Conviniet time to go dark was it?

Damn it, why won’t it stay down?!

The outage lasted more than six hours, taking down Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Oculus. It also wreaked havoc on the company internally, with employees reportedly unable to access emails, Workplace and other tools. The New York Times reported that employees were also physically locked out of offices as workers’ badges stopped working.

Probably someone pulled the plug on purpose after 60 Minutes aired last night and wanted to stay away from work for a least a day.

Heard it said that if you ever want to give away half of your money…
Then get married :0)

That’s equivalent to me launching a new line of dildos under the brand name Chode.
