Mastodon and Meta’s Threads in a common social media “fediverse” – impressive!

my rather unnecessary new Facebook Page
In order to get my WordPress2Facebook bridge to function again, there is now a rather unnecessary new Facebook “Page”. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Denis Komnenovic, the guy who started a silly and immature German bashing on the Perl Jobs facebook group
I really wonder, why nowadays Serbs prefer writing in Croatian over writing in Serbian. (Just a silly joke, never mind – I am quite able to grasp the reason). Just that it looks like rather bad Croatian, as Google Translate has serious problems translating it to English.

now I understand, why Facebook urged me to name my “close friends” – they started buzzing me for every single post of my “close friends”
It hurts a little, but in Facebook terms I now drastically reduced the set of my “close friends”. I do need my silence.

Facebook: videos on my News Feed auto-play without my confirmation
For Android and iOS they (Facebook) allow to restrict this to “Auto-play videos on Wi-Fi only” but even with my MacBook I am rather often only “on the Internet” through a 3G/4G modem, and “my data plan” is just as much concerned as a smartphone or tablet owner’s one. I also want to be able to unallow auto-started videos. It’s not covered by the article referred to above, but it looks like (currently) through “Videos > Video Settings > Auto-Play Videos” they also allow regular visitors through browsers to unallow auto-started videos. I find it rather suspicious, that they did not mention it within that article.

I just looked at the HTML source of a Facebook friend’s “about”
This HTML + Javascript source code is gigantic. You should see, how much you get transferred for so little information. One of the impacts of web 2.0.
Would be rather interesting to extract all Facebook friends’ details like birthday into my personal / “private” addressbook.

The Social Network (2010) – IMDb
The Social Network (2010) – IMDb
That’s the movie on Mark Zuckerberg, the “inventor” and creator of Facebook.
From Trivia:
- The opening breakup scene with Jesse Eisenberg and Rooney Mara ran eight script pages and took 99 takes. (link)
- “Who was the movie star?” – “Does it matter?” – the movie star was, in fact, Natalie Portman (Born: Natalie Hershlag), who was enrolled at Harvard from 1999 to 2003 and helped screenwriter Aaron Sorkin by providing him insider information about goings-on at Harvard at the time Facebook first appeared there.
- The Winklevoss twins were both played by actor Armie Hammer. However, Ralph Lauren model Josh Pence played one of them strictly from the neck down. His face was digitally replaced with Hammer’s to make them appear identical, as the two men are unrelated and look nothing alike. The two spent 10 months in twin boot camp to match one another’s subtle movements and rapport.
From Quotes:
- “As if every thought that tumbles through your head was so clever it would be a crime for it not to be shared.”
- “You’re not an asshole, Mark. You’re just trying so hard to be one.”
Update after watching the movie:
I think the Winklevoss twins should not have gotten any money.
My impression is, that they just discussed a business idea with Zuckerberg, and discussing such an idea a without non-disclosure agreement isn’t really worth anything.
They should not have gotten money or shares from Zuckerberg or Facebook, that was wrong.I think, it’s very sad, how the friendship between Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin evolved, but then that’s how it goes with “business partnerships”. You have to make sure to stay in very, very close contact with your partners, otherwise you run the risk to get catapulted out of the game. Of course it’s esp. very sad to see, that “Zuckerberg dropped Saverin’s 30% ownership share of Facebook down to 0.03%” (from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin#Personal_life_and_Facebook).
Justin Timberlake … plays Napster creator Shawn Fanning as a slightly delusional, paranoid entrepreneur (from technofunkie‘s review (on IMDb) on this movie).
I am very, very grateful to my supporter friend, who allowed me to watch this movie.
