I have a new laptop, but what does that have to do with it?

I thought it was an old slow one, because it doesn't normally take that long. My bad!

So Facebook is recommending me some pages to like because other people liked them.
It's showing me music as I am on a music page.
Joy Division, Carcass, My Bloody Valentine, Check out more places in Paris.
Sorry, what? More places in Paris? What has that got anything to do with... Oh never mind
|
|
|
|
|
So ... Facebook?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
|
|
|
|

I've come to the conclusion that I'll never have to create a Facebook account, if only because I'm apparently already surrounded by more people who insist on telling me what they saw on Facebook than I'd ever care to know. Which is not at all.

It is quite useful to have an account ... in a false name, of course ... to sign in to various things on t'interwebs but there;s never any need to actually visit, I agree.

If a site requires me to sign in even just to view something in read-only mode, I can guarantee I will visit it exactly once.
So far nobody's convinced me I've been missing much.

Twice. The first and the last time.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I wouldn't want hundreds of friends on Facebook any more than I'd want that many IRL.

If you sign in using Facebook, they'll then be following everything you do on any site with a Facebook sign in or like button.

And then? Are they gonna tell my Mom!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

So... Bonamassa?
He's on Facebook too and I haven't liked his page, that'll teach him (and you)

Look, if a developer has decided that that's what you want, then that's what you want, OK!
All customers are idiots. They never know what they want.

Well alright, I'll book a trip to Paris...

Why the sad face? I'm sure she'll be waiting.

Did you just answer your own question?
|
|

Just remember, what happens in Paris better stay in Paris.

Suddenly your sig makes more sense.

It must be a quiet day for you if you need to post facebook updates on this site. Seriously who give a sh*t about facebook recommendations made to YOU. If you want to spend your time faffing around on social media that is fine but really we don't want to know.
And yes it is a quiet morning for me as well
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I don't want to know about half of the things (probably more) I find in the Lounge, but you don't see me bitching about it
Anyway, I thought it was funny that one of the biggest tech companies in the world maybe made a boo-boo in one of their recommender algorithms, but it seems the term "Facebook" on CP works like red to a bull

Facebook is a CIA honeypot, using other victims to lure eachother, as a positive feedback loop increasing elicitation strategy
ZUKERBERG was given 12.7 million in loans from InQTEL (CIA front company), but the documentary on facebook focuses only on his 500k investment
CHINA was 100% correct to ban facebook

I wonder how the CIA will use my music taste against me.
