I think this would warrant to get all websites using the facebook pixel on safe browsing lists and AV databases as infected with malware.
Maybe then the pressure on meta would be big enough to stop this shit, if all websites stopped to not use that anymore.
Btw, does anyone know if the localhost tracking is implemented in Whatsapp as well, or just FB and Instagram?
It doesn’t really make it any better, but at least they let you opt out of data collection after creating the account (you know, when they have already collected your email, first and last name as well as camera serial no.) 🙄
While I love the content on Youtube, I’d like to pay for no ads and I’d like to support the creators, I just can’t bring myself to pay for a service where the UX is so catastrophically bad.
Search is basically non functional at this point. Video quality has to be adjusted manually for each video to not get pixelated mess. Even at 1080p the quality is barely better than DVD. The app caches so little ahead that the slightest network interruption pauses playback. Forced auto rotation makes you grab the device each time you return from full screen to the video list. Subtitles have completely gone to shit and it’s wild that in the age of forcing AI on everyone, that auto generated subtitles are still as bad as they are.
To name just a few…
Sorry for the rant
Oof, that is new, the camera connect app used to work without an account before.
Too bad, it makes me think “wow this is horrible, if they are this bad at developing a simple app I don’t want to find out how bad they would be at developing and maintaining a whole OS…”
How hard can it be to produce a simple battery pack, for a company that is in the business of designing and producing battery packs no less…
Also, spare parts are still available for decades old models and they are built with easy repairability in mind.
I really hope this sale won’t change the company too much, but I fear it will.
