Facebook, whistleblower 

Facebook's internal research: "We estimate that we may action as little as 3-5% of hate and about [0.6%] of V & I [violence and incitement]… We have evidence [that] Facebook and the family of apps are affecting societies around the world."

Frances Haugen, whistleblower: "Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site, they'll click on less ads, they'll make less money."

Here's a thread from Chise that explains just how well vaccines work, and why we shouldn't be pushing narratives that suggest they don't.

ed(1) doesn't have anything remotely like an auto-save feature. Instead, during a marathon editing session, type these three lines every few minutes, like just before you drink water or get up to stretch.

Looks like iOS 15 has a very serious data loss bug that can result in photos being deleted.

TLDR: Until this is fixed, if you saved photos from the Messages app, do NOT delete the threads the photos are in.

Feature request standard in Web 1.0 but impossible to implement in Web 2.0 thanks to infinite scrolling & friends: Make the "Back" button show me the thing you just showed me a moment ago. xkcd.com/1309/

Micro SF/F stories by O Westin

"... and now I'm forgotten," he said matter-of-factly.
"There must be books written about you."
"Being recorded is not the same as being remembered."
He emptied his cup and extended a hand.
"It was nice talking."
We shook, and he left.
I sat flexing my fingers, free of arthritis.

I think capitalism made us take a wrong turn when this is how a pack of just small towels is marketed.

Computer Fairies folks, we're not rushing the turnover. We will have to schedule some outages in order for me to take over the hosting and bill-paying responsibility, but I'll be sure to let you know over on @admin when and for how long.

We are very happy to announce that the instance will now no longer be shutting down at the end of the year and will instead keep running, helmed by our very own @arielmt!
