After well over a decade of research and amassing billions of dollars, Mark Zuckerberg has concluded that there is no way that Facebook is ever going to help him get laid.
So he shut it down.
(It really is down.)
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
And nothing of value was lost.

Best thing would have been for it to stay down.
Eck!
Productivity probably soared
ReplyDeleteArs Technica has an explanation (geeky) of what happened:
ReplyDeletehttps://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/10/facebook-instagram-whatsapp-and-oculus-are-down-heres-what-we-know/
Basically, they fell off the internet because the name facebook.com couldn't be translated into a numeric address. This is done by DNS (Domain Name service), a sort of address book for the internet.
But the delight comes in the comments: FB is carpet-bombed with napalm by everyone. These are mostly tech & science people and they not only rejoice at the outage ("can we just not fix the "problem"?) but detail how badly FB stepped on its dick with cleated golf shoes. It appears that FB, in paranoid isolation, didn't even have any backup DNSoutside of FB, which is normal, sensible precaution. And their staff couldn't get in remotely to fix it because they couldn't reach their servers over the internet. Finally, they couldn't even get into the buildings with their ID swipe cards because the internal data communication that runs building entry security was also hosed.
Wild applause, LOL, ROTF from the tech community which shows how deeply FB is despised in the community that made its creation possible. Zuck the fuck is loathed.
If Facebook is shut down how am I going to complete my medical and political science studies? No degree for me. I guess I will have to interact with another human being almost face to face ( 6 feet away).
ReplyDeleteI've never had a Facebook account, but that doesn't stop them from sending me emails every damn day. My favorite one says "a lot has happened since you last logged onto Facebook" which is true, as everything that has ever happened has happened since I last logged onto Facebook because, and I can't stress this enough I HAVE NEVER LOGGED ONTO FACEBOOK.
