A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

WhatsApp and the domestication of users (seirdy.one)

As Seirdy notes:

It just keeps getting more relevant. WhatsApp, GitHub, Twitter, Reddit…each disaster worse than the last. The companies in charge know that the users will just take it after having their autonomy taken first.

Wait, do you mean that your ff account share data with pocket, whether you ever signed into it or not?

Oh I have no idea about that, but isn't it the same account now? Because I remember receiving emails about accounts being merged. I don't use Pocket or FF anymore so I am probably out of the loop.
