Did Meta buy TikTok? Reports that, since coming back online, its interface and algorithm now resembles Facebook/Insta.

Look no further than the BurtReynolds account for an example.

Are social media sites considered SaaS? Not sure how SaaS erodes attention spans. But they do erode bank accounts. Paying subscriptions for my Adobe software blows.

Elon. Is that you
EU at the behest of Russia
explain this brainfart

Do you not read the news? Zuckerberg in particular and Musk and their companies are in all kinds of trouble with the EU and are fucked once the Digital Services act comes in. It will put an end to how they operate in a lot of ways and fine them or close them down if they don’t comply. Zuckerberg ranted about this only last week saying it was a ‘tarrif’ being imposed on meta. EU has already demanded musk hand over the keys so they can look under the hood and see how he’s set up the algorithims on twitter, this all coming to a collision course with EU rules on disinformation and hate speech.
This is why Suckerberg and Musk are sucking up to Trump all of a sudden hoping Trump will take some kind of retaliatory action against the eu.
Which Trump will do, as he’s putins bitch and Putin wants to break the eu apart and carry on his war on Ukraine and EU structures and solidarity.


Have you somehow missed all that? It’s been in the news for weeks now.
Shit. I forgot disinfo bots can’t read the news.
It seems that your drug-addled mind was trying to communicate that Facebook being fined by the EU was part of some master plan by Putin, through Trump, to start a cold war with the EU (which they are practically in a hot war with now). This still makes no sense, but was nearly incomprehensible in your initial post of fragments.

And no one outside of Ireland gives a shit about Ireland. You might as well be talking about Croatia, or Latveria.


You’re very angry lately burt. Butthurt burt.


Are you ok pal?

You goofy motherfucker. First of all, you stole "troglodyte" from me, dumbass. Second you routinely talk about 4chan and say shit like "redacted". I know you are trying to keep your identity secret, but I know you. You are one of us. You live online. You're here when I am. You can't hide what you are.

It's a spectrum between social media and SaaS; Slack sits right in the middle.
Slack is something I won't miss, though I guess it beats Outlook. I'd rather chop my hand off than write an email.

Please tell me you haven't called anyone else a troglodyte, Burt. And you think you introduced the word? Jesus christ, why are you so relentlessly cringey. Give your lil yam fingers a rest.

Inflicting these levels of second-hand embarrassment on anyone is cruel and unusual. It's unnatural. Please, just ease up for a bit.

Maybe open a thread in GD where you all can put your antiburtism?

Picturing Burt typing shit like "you stole troglodyte from me!" while rocking twin desk-mounted elbow supports is the funniest fucking thing. What a goober.

laugh all you want now, but when your back is destroyed from sitting at your desk all day playing Diablo, you won't be laughing later.
