Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now?
  • I personally fucking hate it. But my whole friends group use it for events (bad, birthdays), and messenger chat.

    How do you convince ~30 people to switch to something else?

    What app do they switch to?

    Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative?
  • Same. I've been attempting to de-Google and stick with FOSS where possible, but only Lawnchair has come close to Nova Launcher, but it's not without its limitations like setting a primary home screen, and better widget padding and removing round corners.

    I'm still experimenting with others, but many are no longer under active development either.

    Young girls are using anti-aging products they see on social media. The harm is more than skin deep
  • Because they risk being bullied or left out. Denying their kid a phone only works if all the parents do it.

    Edit: I don't have a solution; maybe an anti-bullshit law that punishes people from spouting bullshit? (Good luck religious folks!)

    But denying a phone may just replace one problem with another.

    Let's have a moment of silence for those who may soon be meeting the Great Koala.
  • I don't doubt there are some hardcore trekkies who named their kid after Bell back in 87.

    There's going to be thousands of James T Kirk's named on 22nd March 2233.

    The 10 largest GDPR fines on Big Tech
  • Did they pay them though?

    Did they make more money than they were penalised? If so, nothing changes. Cost of doing business.

    So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?
  • I tried it and was underwhelmed, but also overwhelmed.

    I love the idea of choosing everything I want, but Arch also meant the pain of learning to install everything I actually need first.

    Is there a minimalistic distro that installs all just the essentials (drivers, services like DHCP, a package manager, desktop GUI), and then I choose from there?

    How paranoid are you?
  • I started moving from Firefox to LibreWolf and found a few too many convenient features broke.

    I think password and bookmark syncing was too difficult to move away from, as I use them across devices/phone.

    Haven't had time to research alternative methods or practices.
