Missing things is another one I noticed yeah. In my case it's gigs from local places I actually follow. Why show an event that happened last Friday? They even know it's time sensitive because it's an event with a date and tim

Oh wow I actually forgot about this. I used to have a bookmark that took me directly to the friends feed but it would seem it just redirects to the homepage now, and the navigating to the feeds fresh just loads within the page rather than v

I thought it was being insulting for a while but I guess I did pause on it to screenshot and make a witty post but I'm constantly getting Dull Men's Club, and more recently the knockoff versions haha Facebook, I'm not into th

Ooh speaking of birthday reminders - if Facebook is browsing this thread looking for things to fix: bring back the birthday iCal feed! You literally had notifications via my calendar bringing me back to your site every few days/weeks t

If we're going to nitpick that far they'd need to start an ISP and lay their own fibre too Personally I feel if you can quickly pull out of a provider and host elsewhere with maybe just a config change - aye the data is fully owne

All these voices are too good these days. I want my home assistant to sound like Auto from Wall-E, dammit! Anyone out there doing any nice robotic robot voices? Best I've got so far is a blend of Ralph and Zarvox from MacOS' `say`

Used to be able to add friends birthdays and events you'd rsvp'd "Going" to your calendar via iCal URLs too. That was so damn useful.

Yeah but the IT bod looking into it would see the rest of the site as context If they check on a site and it's heavy on the NSFW maybe things get looked into with a bit more of a "... is this person browsing porn at work?" at
