  • Sorry, kid. Mom and Dad pimped you for internet points.

    But in your parents' defense, many of them were completely clueless about the internet and Facebook exploited this without shame. Facebook told them to share their lives and they did, because it was novel and easy, and because the vast majority lacked the experience (what some zoomers now have) or technical knowledge (what some older geeks had) to understand the ramifications of what they were doing.

    I have a one year old son (yes I'm a pretty old dad) and y'all are never gonna see him (too bad, he's adorable.) I -- or rather, my wife -- has friends who post pictures of their kids on Facebook. Inevitably they ask why they don't see our son on Facebook and we tell them were keeping him off social media until we think he's mature enough to decide those things for himself. There usually follows an uncomfortable moment, then responses have ranged from "hmm, that's probably a good idea" to "well gosh, I just put EVERYTHING up there! My kids gonna totally hate me when they get older LOL" We'll see how well that LOL ages.

    Of course, most are in the middle ground where they post nice pictures while being cognizant of not posting anything embarrassing. That's still too much for our tastes, but those kids probably won't be traumatized by a pic of them in their lacrosse outfit or blowing out candles on their birthday cake.

  • "Trust has no place in computing" is a concept that we are still quite distant from, in practical terms.

    But yeah, definitely don't hand your personal information over to a corporation, even if they're offering to take a lot of your money, too!

  • Did you fabricate that CPU? Did you write that compiler? You gotta trust someone at some point. You can either trust someone because you give them money and it's theoretically not in their interest to screw you (lol) or because they make an effort to be transparent and others (maybe you, maybe not) can verify their claims about what the software is.

    • Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important

  • I'll probably keep a presence on a non-threads-federated instance and one on a threads-federated instance, just to compare and to talk to grandma. I doubt I'll spend much time scrolling through whatever it is Instagram users write about but you never know.
