Cyborganism

Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t know it had events,

Yeah, same. I tried getting people to switch, but it was like pulling teeth. It’s even worse now, even with all the Meta Zuckerberg Trump bullshit and the obvious privacy problems.

The circles feature was awesome. Could post stuff for specific groups of people. Sometimes your posts aren’t for all your friends to see.

At first Diaspora seemed to propose a good alternative to Facebook ang G+. It has “aspects” which work similarly to circles. And the interface is similar to Facebook’s. However, it didn’t take off as much as anyone would’ve expected.

Now there’s also Friendica which closely resembles Facebook, but it appears limited in functionality. It looks more like a Facebook-UI to the fediverse, like Mastodon is a Twitter-UI to the fediverse. It’s missing the whole “circles/aspects” feature, and we still don’t have the groups feature either, which I think is very useful and much appreciated by Facebook users.

EDIT: Actually I just double checked and it does have circles actually.

This is probably controversial, but Google Plus was better than Facebook in every way.

Don’t gaslight me. My comment was a joke and you reported it just to fuck with me. You’re just harassing me at this point. Stop.

Yeah, you’re right. The whole system in the U.S. seems to be set up to enable these kinds of events.

I think what they’re implying is that this kind of thing doesn’t really happen in France. At least not at the rate it’s happening in the U.S. So they don’t really need to worry about not having cell phones.

To an extent it’s the same with Canada. We’re pretty lucky school shootings aren’t a common occurrence. What’s the worst that can happen here? The school runs out of maple syrup? (Of course I’m joking!)

Uh… I’m actually French Canadian. My comment was meant as a joke.

Edit: I really didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. And if that happened, I apologize.

People associated that word too much with Schwarzenegger’s grunts. (Total Recall)

“Ripe for the picking!”

- ICE probably

That’s true. But maybe they transform them before shipping them? Like powdered eggs or things like that?

Woo! We’re getting eggs AND supporting Ukraine at the same time!

Baby steps.

This is just the start.

sans-taure (because I’m francophone)

I’m increasingly seeing ads about Canadian cloud hosting services. I just hope companies stat to look at local solutions seriously.

Ah ok. Thanks! :)

I wonder what messaging service they used.

Fuck Israel. Fucking rogue terrorist state.

I… I didn’t even know there were so many.
