Putting politics aside, are any tech companies actually taking preventive steps in response to this new risk?

Meta has showed time and again, that they're not serious about anything including and not limited to customer privacy, security, and support. If you still use Meta products in 2026, you kinda deserve it.

I've been clean for about 2 years at this point, and I have not missed anything! Messaging apps like Signal are more than enough now a days to stay connected with the few people I need and want to stay in touch with.

I'd be interested in, 1. a SOME-TRUST model: a list of opt-outs for the known software that collect telemetry; so that I can just paste that into an env file and be done with it. 2. a ZERO-TRUST model [preferable]: where I control if a

Is Github losing any significant business from all these outages? Curious because for a long time we as an industry maintained that reliability and brand value are business critical; but seems like they are cared very little now a days. Hap

All the title is telling me is that [M|A]RR has been so abused, they stopped making any sense. A company selling dollar for cents would have infinite MRR, doesn't make it a "business", let alone a good business. Instead, tell

this is dodgy at best. Building a $10K MRR website is hard. Building multiple (assuming "multiple" here means >= 3) $10K MRR websites is extremely hard. I don't know which investors they pitched to, but most investors seei

I'd also ask what can we regular Joes and Janes do to avoid this disaster? I can't think of anything other than going out and standing on a street with a placard. can we do anything better than that?

Only (April) fools would trust Facebook's technology with anything as safety critical as construction work.

by hedayet 6mo ago
yes. Once some other company figures out how to build light cheap headsets, Meta can acquire or copy that tech - and scale. That's indeed Meta's strength area.

Facebook's strength has never been innovation, but adapting to the changes; mostly through acquisition. With the 20/20 hindsight - I'd say the VR bet was too early for Facebook. Instead of trying to build a future tech, they

you know what most of us end up doing on those other days? we start side tech projects that require even more effort for even little return. You can't trust us with self-care. There's just too many shiny toys out there!
