Meta appoints anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor
-
My struggle for years has been quitting WhatsApp…
I never started using it. It's the cancer version of messaging.
I sometimes get weird looks from people when I tell them I refuse to use it.
Signal is the way to go.

If there's only one time line, and you assert that it is the dumbest time line, it follows that it is also the smartest time line. Thereby rendering the statement null. Its not unproven, but neither does it matter.
That is a good example of talking to say nothing imo

I just had the opportunity to purchase "AI" eyeglasses. They do recording, pictures, capture audio, supposedly let you talk to them, etc. IIRC the frames were by Ray Ban, they didn't look awful.
They were powered by Meta. That was an instant hard pass for me.
TBF I'd probably have skipped them anyway, but if they'd been some other company I'd have at least been intrigued and given them another look.

I guess it's all about choosing what each of us deems worse. "Do I want a saner life even if it means not having some convenience, or is this change going to mess with my life for little benefit?".
7 years ago I told everyone I was leaving WhatsApp and moving to Signal on day X. Some installed signal and we started using that exclusive, some others didn't, and we stopped chatting, just did phone calls.
Fast forward to today, most of the people in my life use Signal, some of them exclusively to use it with me, and the rest, I haven't missed (they call every now and then though).
It is a scary move, 100%, but well worth it, in my opinion.
Yeah in my experience I've been able to use regular texts, discord or signal instead. People will accept at least one most of the time

Well, it depends on what you do with it. Right?
Yes. And all of my experiences so far have been a waste of my time. I don't want to look up information and then have to check the information for accuracy. I'm just gonna find the info myself.

Meta seems to really want to overcorrect... they demanded Meta remove their diversity policies, so Meta said that they'd do one better and just start stringing people up in the office.

You can put videos in a text thread. I’m on a 31-person thread that has been active for about 15 years. I promise there’s no shortage of videos.
Do your text messages allow for decent res video of any running time longer than a few seconds?
Mine don't.

From the way American mega-corporations are going all-in on this, it seems like a long-term choice; so I think it’s one of two things: the shareholders are demanding that they go full republican (which isn’t happening AFAIK), or they’re trying to survive because they know something you don’t.
Disclaimer: not a US citizen/resident, but sad to see this happening tbh.
Edit: or it’s short-term and caused by Trump pressuring everybody to do controversial stuff in order to distract the public from the Epstein files.

The exact same way you have "straight" gay/bi people.

I really wish I could delete my Facebook and Instagram, but my late brother's account is on both and I really miss him. I try to do my part by not making content for the machine nor interact with the platform and only go on when I really miss my brother
Backup the account webpage, then delete the account. There exists software that freezes web pages as is, as downloadable archives.
