If you ever feel useless just remember somebody designed and implemented the share-to-facebook feature on porn sites.

That isn’t there so people use it. That is there so that Facebook can track where you go

Course they only need a 1px by 1px image for that right?

Shoutout Facebook Container for Firefox, or Firefox if you’re still using a browser that’s killing the open web 😉

You don't need to use that extension anymore, Total Cookie Protection already does the job and is enabled by default on Firefox and Firefox Mobile. Could be useful if you use more than one account, tho.

Ah neat!

Neither FB Container & First Party Isolation no longer relevant for the average user then. Forward!

At this point both of these guys are saying "I have seen horrible things"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

They're both the same guy, just one's wearing a hat

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

No man. That is a brilliant feature that has caught out many "anti-gay" politician's.

Wanted to prove people used those buttons, but maybe not (need to use better/unblocked terms I suppose):

Low Stakes Conspiracies: that share button is there to get users banned. Activist admins or funded by Musk himself?

(Yeah, they pulled a permanent Twitter Taylor Swift on Pornhub.)

I didn't believe you but can confirm this blank search within the Facebook app. Instagram, by the same parent company, has lots of results though. Guess all the puritanical boomers are on Facebook not Insta

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of "shadow ban" style component to this. I think Tumblr does something like that where postsand tags that are marked as sexually explicit can't be found by searching for them, but if you're following the person, you can see them.

If you're ever depressed about building useless software just remember - leveraged buyouts are a thing. You could buy your company for nothing by just putting massive debt in the company account and actually manage it right.

Well, in theory, in actuality this piece of accounting bullshit is reserved for vulture capitalists that will destroy the value of the company and asshats (see: Elon Musk) that will destroy the value of the company.

Capitalism destroys everything that we build!

Well unless you somehow able to liquidate more money than the debt, the lender is the fool. The original founder practically got an exit that all startups wanted, you get the cheated money, but the lender gets nothing. You have to be able to fool someone into this position first.

Oh certainly. I'm sure Elon Musk is totally going to pay that loan back. It's impossible that he bought out Twitter just to be able to ban people who pointed out how much of an asshat he is. Also, Trump somehow keeps getting loans and he's loses more money every month than most of us make in a decade - that's the sort of savvy businessman you can trust.
