I actively boycott Zuckerberg’s offerings bar WhatsApp coz the bastard bought it out from under us. Fuck him, fuck Meta

These looked completely different in Europe.

WhatsApp is ubiquitous in Ireland, if only it was as easy to get away from it. Everything from clubs, schools, kids sport is done via group chats on WhatsApp. Absolutely hate Meta as a company, WhatsApp is the only app I use of theirs and only because they bought it from under us. If we could get proper interoperability, we could use a non WhatsApp app, but it’s not looking good so far.

So it looks like the problems are on the WhatsApp side. The EU should force them to get the finger out and come up with a proper solution.

Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it’s called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?

Signal is great. Think I read that WhatsApp will be forced to allow interoperability with other apps. Would be great if you could use Signal to access chats that started on WhatsApp. Fuck Zuckerberg. Whatsapp the only Meta app I use and only because the bastards bought it

Watching the IT crowd for the 1st time with the wife. So, so funny.

As soon as they’re forced to allow interoperability with other apps, I’ll be deleting WhatsApp. Had a Facebook from the beginning but deleted it when the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened. Have never had an Instagram. Fuck Facebook and their horrible owner.

Thank fuck I deleted my Facebook when I did (around the time of the Cambrige Analytica scandal). Never had an Instagram.

For anyone reading, delete them all. Load of shite, you won’t miss them.

This type of stuff will get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

A cup of Rosy

Problematic for who, the tech companies? They’re practically printing money. Let them spend it on actual solutions to issues that are causing problems for the World.

I don’t get it 👀

Google and other companies are being covered by it, as they are headquartered in Ireland for their EU activity. So what’s dumb about that? And what are you on about sensoring? Did you even read the article?

I’ve read your sentence multiple times and I’ve no idea what it means.

Wow, I’d forgotten about that. Didn’t he try to burn it in the end 🤢

** cowing intensifies

I have a good spec computer so no issues with it struggling. The alternatives might be better, but Teams coming with Office 365 makes it so cheap it’s worth it.

I have a small business and we all work from home. Teams is amazing for remote working. Great for chatting, sharing screens and remote controlling another computer. Don’t know why it’s getting so much hate.

She was excellent in the first season of White Lotus on Sky too. Great show.
