I mentioned this on another thread. I tried my best to avoid FB, but then they acquire products like WhatsApp to then hoover up personal data again. This shouldn't be allowed. PII and personal data should be bound to the original terms on which the product launched.
Zuck should find a quiet part of the internet or the metaverse to curl up and fade away. The guy just doesn't have any redeeming qualities.
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoMy local DNS rules (PiHole) block all Google & Facebook products. It's actually kind of fun seeking/using less-global alternatives, even if just for the different perspectives. e.g. Bing maps is my favorite way to explore cities (yes, I know they're a MSFT product, their code/login doesn't permeate across my internets).
- righthand 1y agoWhy MS Bing maps? The UI is nice or are there extra features that make it great for exploration? And by exploration do you mean physical or digital?
- ProllyInfamous 1y ago>Why Bing? I first saught out Bing Maps because the aerial views can be set askew from cardinal directions, which allows you to (sometimes) discover objects beneath tree-cover (hidden in top-down views). I've continued using Bing for digital explorations because the physical printouts have more contrast (i.e. are easier to read; however, alltrails has the best printouts). Bing seems to list more businesses than other platforms, and presents the information with less clutter. But ultimately, I use Bing because I can use it while still blocking all other tracking products of its parent company (which is very difficult to do with e.g. Google products — which I just ban entirely).
