[dba-Tech] Facebook

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Gustav:

That seems to be the name of the game for all major and most minor companies. Apparently, nothing is free...greed is good. But Facebook  has really gone over the top.

Hi Jim

Yes. Basically, Facebook was a good idea, in fact a very good idea, but turned into a greedy monster.

Like Google, which started with "don't be evil" and has ended up exactly being evil and greedy - even more sneaky than Facebook, as they present a lot of good offerings and inventions, though all with the unspoken agenda - to get your data, preferable all of them.

Draconian...Are we now in an era where 1984 is cerebral and not physically brutal?

I guess anyone who runs these apps will have to run them in a virtual drive or it will mess with everything else. (I am sorry to say it but Windows10 is not far behind (or ahead) but what are you going to do?). :-(

Aside: A good friend has a heavy duty hyper-V server with 170plus GB of RAM and he runs all his desktops on virtual drives.

It too bad really as I have been keeping track of all the relatives on FB for years.

Hi all

If you haven't already signed off Facebook, now is the time:

Facebook Turned Its Two-Factor Security 'Feature' Into the Worst Kind of Spam

Scaring. I'm glad, I've never joined this evil virus.
