The return of ‘OG Facebook’ is a big Meta priority this year

Jump

  • I know they would follow Fortnite.

    • Having a movie weekend with son. What would you add?

    Jump
    • Dunkirk : An excellent take on a war movie. Just amazing. A writer-director in command of his craft. Chef's kiss
    • The Gentlemen: Guy Ritchie delivers snappy camera angles and a story full of plot twists. So entertaining. Love British gangster movies.
    • Full Metal Jacket: Classic Kubrick. My all time favorite. Core memories, this movie.
    • Good Will Hunting: Predictable plot but the path taken is truly marvellous. One of Matt Damon's masterpieces and it has Robin Williams in it.
    • The green mile: I wasn't crying, my eyes were sweating.
    • The Grand Budapest Hotel: Stylish, intelligent, entertaining. A must see.
    • Inception: I don't know. I don't understand what happened.
    • Dolomite is my name: Eddy Murphy delivers. Over the top as he can be.
    • Batman, The Dark Knight: Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger. Need I say more?
    • Inglourious Basterds: Tarantino made Christopher Waltz to go all in and my god, he delivered one of the best evil characters in a movie.
    • Reservoir Dogs: iconic Tarantino.
    • From Dusk Till Dawn: Some more Tarantino.
    • Hamilton: I hate musicals. My daughter made me watch. Was awesome.

    I'm going through some movie weekends with my children (17 and 15) and I've noticed that some movies that I loved back in the days just don't work anymore.

    • The official way to chat with the European Union is with.... Facebook

    Jump

  • Mastodon isn't chat. Their Messenger chat is manned with people that answer your questions.

    • The Powerful AI Tool That Cops (or Stalkers) Can Use to Geolocate Photos in Seconds

    Jump

  • I was searching for the title of that movie a while ago. Thanks.

    • Fascist App Exodus, where to flock to?

    Jump

  • Discoverability is the issue. It is one of the main reasons Signal sticks with phone numbers.

    Everyone in my contact list is a potential Signal contact. That's useful. Chat is still private.

    If I want secret chats, I use Simplex.

    • Someone pulled the trashcan into the stall and shat in it!

    Jump

  • Legend

    • Is it possible to launch a nuke at Apophis asteroid, when it is visiting earth, in such a way that it directs the asteroid towards earth?

    Jump

  • Get it out of your head, son.

    • Google’s Fingerprinting Returns In 8 Weeks And It Will Track Your Devices

    Jump

  • Also in the EU?

    • There's a new toll I'll have to pay to drive anywhere.

    Jump

  • Mass transit is necessary here because the city has an old layout not designed for cars and so it wouldn't be able to function if everyone had to drive.

    Cities shouldn't be designed for cars. They should be designed for people. I get it. They've added a tax and that's inconvenient. I agree.

    I live in a European city with a medieval layout. I'm happy they started banning cars. Our city is more liveable without than with cars.

    • Indigenous Tours of Lisbon

    Jump

  • Ah yes, the privacy related indigenous tours of Lisbon. I'll be selfhosting them.

    • China Demands Withdrawal of US Missile System from the Philippines, Calls it a Threat to Regional Peace and Security

    Jump

  • I never knew. Wild story.

    Apparently:

    • 19 UN member states recognize Taiwan (Republic of China) as an independent country
    • 57 countries recognise the Taiwanese government as representative of the Chinese people but not as an independent entity
    • The holy seat (Vatican city) recognizes them as a sovereign state
    • There are 10countries that don't recognize China nor Taiwan
    • Vatican city was the first country to give recognition (1942)

    This is all new to me.

    • China Demands Withdrawal of US Missile System from the Philippines, Calls it a Threat to Regional Peace and Security

    Jump

  • How can they do an independence campaign if they're independent? Real question, not trolling. I'm not well informed on the geopolitics.

    • TIL Mozilla has a senior director of gift planning

    Jump

  • The Mozilla foundation does gift funds...

    • Apple pulls remaining Lightning-based devices from European stores

    Jump

  • I'm still using my flat OnePlus usb-c cable that I received with my oneplus 3t in 2017.

    Somehow the flat cables seem to last longer overall.

    • Why are the freemasons often the target of conspiracy theories?

    Jump

  • I'm from Belgium. We were occupied and freemasons were deported.

    A few years ago they tried to make MP's who were freemasons to make it public and lots of MP's objected.

    I know about the freemasons halls in my surroundings they are listed in the internet, indeed.

    To be fair, I was kind of joking but I see how you don't find it funny. I didn't mean to troll.

    • Any advice for people who have recently started playing the acoustic guitar?

    • Any advice for people who have recently started playing the acoustic guitar?

    Jump

  • :-) It was a genuine joke. It's the forbidden song, right?

    • Apple pulls remaining Lightning-based devices from European stores

    Jump

  • Now you get shitty USB c cables.

    • Why are the freemasons often the target of conspiracy theories?

    Jump

  • I suppose you're based in the US? In most EU countries it's all more secretive. But yeah, Freemasons got murdered during WWII so they aren't to blame.

    • Is road or rail more expensive?

    Jump

  • Yeah... You're not speaking generally, are you? Because in most EU countries, rail ise is subsidised.
