Apparently Facebook doesn't know what to do when you upload a GIF that is not animated -- just a single image.

Animation wasn't even added until GIF89a! The main Discord channel I haunt also disallows GIFs wholesale -- to avoid animated GIFs any *.GIF file is trashed.

Is this what the human race has come to?

Another Reason #Mastodon is the Place to Go!

Heather Cox Richardson Repports Facebook taking down her posts.

She notes that they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information).

"I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?”

When I was getting punched in the face during the nineties, my anxiety would often vanish simply because my “enemy” wasn’t in the room with me when I got home. Today, kids get beaten up or humiliated and are sent a video afterward, posted for the whole world to see.

Türkiye'den Meta'ya İmamoğlu cezası: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp'ın bağlı olduğu sosyal medya şirketi Meta, İBB Başkanı Ekrem İmamoğlu'nun tutuklanmasıyla başlayan protestolarla bağlantılı hesapların engellenmesi yönünde hükümetten gelen talebi yerine getirmediği için, Türkiye'de "yüklü miktarda" para cezasına çarptırıldığını açıkladı. Ancak Meta, cezanın miktarı hakkında bilgi vermedi.

Ganz wichtig und elementar:

"Meta hat begonnen, KI-Assistenten in #WhatsApp, #Instagram und den #Facebook #Messenger zu integrieren – ohne den Nutzern eine Möglichkeit zur Deaktivierung zu geben. Besonders problematisch ist dabei, dass jede Interaktion mit der KI nicht nur die eigenen Nachrichten offenlegt, sondern Meta auch erlaubt, diese Daten zu speichern und für das Training der KI zu nutzen. Die Beta-Version treibt dies noch weiter: Sobald der Assistent geöffnet wird, beginnt er automatisch mitzuhören, verarbeitet die Sprachdaten in der Cloud und überträgt sie auf die Meta-Server. Damit unterliegt die Datenverarbeitung nicht mehr der Kontrolle der Nutzer, sondern den Zugriffsmöglichkeiten von Meta – und letztlich auch der US-Regierung.

Das zentrale Problem dabei: Die oft angeführte Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung, mit der WhatsApp vermeintlichen Datenschutz suggeriert, greift in diesen Fällen nicht mehr. (...)" kuketz-blog.de/ki-der-elefant-

@skribe Conversely, the cost of printing, distribution, and storage puts up a barrier to spamming people on other continents with mass quantities of low value slop.

Just think through the logistics of a hostile Eurasian state sending a mass quantity of printed materials to Australia or North America.

Or, for that matter, a hostile North American state sending a mass quantity of printed materials to Europe or Asia.

You would either need:–

a) At least one printing press on each continent;
b) You could try shipping the magazines, but they'd be a month out of date when they arrive; or
c) You could try flying them overseas, but that would be very expensive very quickly.

That's before you worry about things like delivery drivers (or postage), and warehouses.

These are less of an issue for books than they are for newspapers or magazines.

And if a particular newspaper or magazine is known to be reliable, written by humans, researched offline, and the articles are not available online, then there's potentially value in people buying a physical copy.

Big news flying around on Facebook the afternoon and into the late evening of April 1st is that Facebook appears to be taking down/disappearing Heather Cox Richardson's political newsletters and posts.

If you don't know who she is, it's an easy search.

I've got multiple people people saying this is happening for them personally - they can no longer see the posts - including some definitely Not Left people.

We've been expecting this out of Meta since Fuckerberg ripped off the mask and went full MAGA, so I guess here we are.
