Hot take: big tech exists only as a failure to create small (human-scale) tech. Facebook & twitter represents a failure to create & publicize p2p alternatives.

The shady data-gathering tactics used by Cambridge Analytica were an open secret to online marketers. I know, because I was one - The Verge https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/25/17161726/facebook-cambridge-analytica-data-online-marketers

Hot take: the web never ‘belonged to the people’ – the moment a centralized client-server model with hostnames embedded in the addressed was decided upon, the seeds of Facebook & Google were sown.

Rather than sending advertisements into outer space, it would be really nice if we made it so that Facebook and Twitter would run reasonably on six month old mid-market desktop computers. These JS timeouts are annoying.

Bad idea of the day: Adversarial social graphs. 99% similar to your actual graph, but friending one guy makes Facebook think you’re actually Al Gore.

Non-Social
Almost over two years ago I left Facebook. A few months ago I left LinkedIn and Twitter. Two weeks ago I left Google+. I also left Groupon (I don’t even know why I ever sign up for that junk!). Next is to leave here. I guess this is my way to pursuit happiness.

As Mark weblog is gone1 —perhaps step 9 was, “ Get rid of the weblog“— I enumerate what he wrote:

1. Stop buying stuff you don’t need.

Another Facebook rant
This one will be short, Twitter style… almost. A while ago I wrote about how Facebook has cached my OpenID credentials (wrong ones) and it was refusing to clear them after a few days. Well, twenty five (that is 25) days after, Facebook is still insisting on going to the wrong place, when I enter /bits/ as my OpenID on my “Settings → Account Settings → Linked Accounts → OpenID…”.

Now isn’t tha … ⌘ Read more

Facebook and OpenID caching
When I first read that Facebook was going to allow OpenID logins, I was happy. OpenID means less usernames and passwords to remember. So I merrily went to setup mine, just to find out that their support was exclusively for OpenID version 2.0, and my implementation was 1.1. No graceful fall back, Facebook demands OpenID 2.0. So I decided it was time for me to upgrade my implementation for one capable to handle 1.1 and 2.0.

Of course, the first one I tried I did not like it … ⌘ Read more
