"1. You cannot call it bad just because of content."
You don't get to dictate my reasons for liking or not liking a thing. If I want to dislike it because of content, that's my privilege. Maybe I think FB's bad content is more annoying than CP's bad content. Maybe I'm tired of clueless political rants interspersed with photos of someone's dinner. Maybe I just like my privacy. Either way, that's my decision.
Why are you so eager to de-legitimize and downplay other people's reasons for disliking Facebook? It sounds like you asked this question to start an argument, not because you actually wanted to learn something.

I hate the way the feed is managed, especially in their mobile app. I see something funny, walk across the room to show it to my daughter, and suddenly it's jumped position and when I scroll down to where the thing was that I wanted to show her it's no longer there, and even if I got to the wall of the person who posted it it's pretty much a coin flip whether I can find it there.
In fact, just the other day I was looking for something I'd posted myself a few months ago. Turns out the two weeks around the date I posted it are just gone, but I spent quite a few minutes scrolling through everything I'd ever clicked "like" on to figure that out. It's like they created an algorithm specifically to preserve the history I care least about.
And then there's the "10+ New Stories" thing, which aren't actually new stories, but rather there's maybe one new story and the rest are things that I've already seen and didn't like, but someone I know liked it so obviously I need to see it again so I can have another chance to like it.

I don't dislike it, I just find it pointless for anything that is not cheap gossip or sell you something.

I hate it because:
1. I didn't invent it
2. My parents keep reminding me that I didn't invent it

Two weeks touring the whisky distilleries on Isla and Jura, and now my liver needs a rest. 
Did I miss anything? Has OG reached 2 million yet? Has everyone found love using a box of chocolates made by Rowntree Mackintosh[^], or have the spammers found a new topic? Have we all finally agreed that VB6 is the best language ever invented?

With the amount of email I've had to wade through today, I'm not sure I ever went! The Paps[^] seem like a dim and distant memory.

Back obviously yes (he's posting after all); sobered up apparently not. (At least I hope he's still drunk, and not that he drank himself to the point of brain damage.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The question is, would anyone be able to tell?

No, yes, yes, no, no.
Probably. But not in that order.

@KornfeldEliyahuPeter
I managed to write down the business classes for my Syslog Project, aka Springlog - (Pic[^]).
Doesn't look spectacular, does it?
Well, there was a lot of work behind it so far, especially making everything compatible to possible later Syslog versions was a more work than you'd expect (Solution Explorer[^]). I'm gonna add all the serialization and deserialization stuff later this week and then give the article a shot. And a more intelligent API would be great...

Your project was mentioned by CM this morning as one of the most interesting ::Workspace projects, not without reason...
You just made me waste more time - I will fork your project and look into it ASAP... 
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

The latest changes are not pushed, and what is in the Workspace isn't really as interesting as what I got on my HDD right now.

Has anyone else found side-by-side errors that are seemingly unpossible to fix, while attempting to run this excellent software on a Win7 box? I'm out of my mind with the misery of it.
I too dabbled in pacifism once.

Yes, that's what I did. It has been two days and I and my internet usage has already reduced. I will go back to it in a while but for now, I do not really miss it.
So, if I post any crap apart from that in my previous posts and this one, you know you can blame FB.

I did that about twenty minutes after I signed up for it...and I haven't been back, though I keep getting "friend requests" from people I've never heard of...

Oh that's no problem - they come through on an email I don't use anyway.
But if you were the one who signed me up for the Gentleman's Enlargement Services spammers on my "real" email...
