  • Meh, no one should be on Facebook.

    Too many people say nothing when it’s mentioned, so tacit approval is assumed.

    I’ve blocked sites like Twitter and FB, etc, on all my devices and networks. My friends and family still send me links, after I’ve repeatedly told them my devices can’t go to those websites (I’ve never once in my life been on either one).

    So I think it’s appropriate to point out using FB is as problematic as Reddit (worse actually. It needs to be continually said.

    FB had the Cambridge Analytica scandal that exposed how bad it is, and people still use it 🤦🏼‍♂️. They had tracking pixels for years, and whole I’ve never even visited the FB website, those bastards have a profile on me.

    So no, fuck FB.



  • Everybody in my team gets to own something. What you own depends on your capability.

    This is a point I try to constantly make when people don’t understand why 2 people have the same title but don’t really have the same job, especially in technical fields.

    No two people have the same set of skills, so we all end up taking on the tasks we’re more capable of than the next person.









  • There’s a number of tags that could be useful, like politics, sports (or specific sports, though I’d filter all of them, just not my thing), or pick something.

    It would also be a useful way to setup different collections, like right now I want to see posts about cooking - I could have a view with just “cooking” tags (a category that could have further tags, eg “Cooking, veggies” or “Cooking, Pork”, etc).

    Of course this would require voluntary and consistent use of the tagging system, but I think over time most posters would embrace such a thing.

    A couple days ago I decided to just start blocking people who post political crap, especially where it doesn’t belong (particularly political tirades or rants). Such people provide no value, so no need to have them in my feed.
