My main use case for FB is a group related to reviewing restaurants in the area. I have no FB friends/connections. I use messenger for my one friend who insists on using it. It is mostly slop (and strangely I get posts from that same relationship account), I scroll for about 5 minutes at a time before I realize it is not worth looking at. And truthfully, that is what I want from social media: a few minutes worth of distraction followed by the feeling that I had just wasted my time and then on to something more meaningful.
I think it will be B&N gift cards for my just-about-to-be-teen daughters. It will encourage them to buy and use something physical whether drawing supplies or books. Fingers crossed.
Every environment is a copy of the data, I would imagine. I think you would want to limit spawning of copies of your data in an offshore outsourced environment for security reasons. That's my guess.
Having worked in HFT, we had contractual obligations imposed on us by our customers for this very reason. In our case it wasn’t the data but rather the source code that we sold on to a few large banks that they were concerned for.
Astigmatic and find it difficult to concentrate on dark mode. Light mode burns my eyes so I go with themes like Cobalt 2 on VS Code that are less harsh yet provide enough contrast to allow me to identify what I am scanning for.
I received a notification this week that YouTube is unable to verify my age and so will filter certain types of content. This account is 10 years old (or more) and I watch a very specific set of content types that haven't deviated and clearly point to an adult. I assume they are rolling out the final piece of the effort to remove anonymity from the internet as nothing else has changed.
They realized that dead internet theory poses an existential threat to their business. If more and more watch time is from bots, why would advertisers pay?
