It's the tyranny of the cloud. You trust Facebook with your personal contacts, Gmail with your mail, and YouTube with your videos until the day a nameless admin script decides you crossed an unwritten threshold and dumps your account into the bit bucket. I don't trust anything of importance to someone else's service, especially Facebook.
- c1sc0 18y agoWhy especially Facebook? Because of the code leak (and abysmal code quality) a while back?
- unalone 18y agoThe code must not be that abysmal, considering how much it handles. When you make a separate load request just to poke somebody, when Chat is constantly making requests, then you've got to have code that's handling itself pretty well. And the end results are gorgeous compared to most any other site. Perhaps especially Facebook because of that silly "Facebook is run by the CIA" video a while back?
