Gross.
It's bad enough seeing the sheeple who are content with their task bar icons in the center. We don't need more en-Mac-ification.

They are dismantling the sleeping middle class. More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.

Maybe they can swarm and suggest some Linux distros to move to.

Submission + - Systemd creator launches Amutable for Linux integrity.
An anonymous reader writes: Systemd Creator Launches Amutable for Linux Integrity.
Lennart Poettering, the creator of systemd, and Christian Brauner, a Linux kernel maintainer, just left Microsoft to launch Amutable. The company announced today it will “deliver verifiable integrity to Linux workloads everywhere” by replacing heuristic-based security with deterministic verification.
All three founders—Poettering, Brauner, and CEO Chris Kühl—came from Microsoft’s Linux infrastructure team, raising immediate questions about timing, IP ownership, and whether they’re building a Microsoft competitor or spinout.

You're right, ads are so ingrained into Facebook that I don't think they can be extricated from the product. People are signing up for the privilege to view ads and have their responses tracked (whether they realize it or not). Facebook is an advertising machine and you are the product. If they can trick someone into paying money for it, even better, but it won't materially change the system except improve the quality of ads by verifying your identity.

For a while I would use an adblocker on Facebook and I actually would reach the end. However, I think this was because the adblocker would break the page after a while. It was nice.

Yeah I don't understand this recent backlash against Steam. They provide an amazing service. They're #1 because all competitors were horrible. I still remember when services like EA Downloader and Direct2Drive would try to charge you an additional fee for "download insurance," otherwise you couldn't re-download your game. Valve never pulled stuff like that, just consistently gives a great customer experience. Is all this just paid-for FUD from Epic?
