  This isn’t just about losing your Facebook account. It’s about what else you can’t do because much of our society relies on Facebook. This is the real problem. From TFA:

  This article is not a complaint about Meta; it’s a wider discussion on how we as a society have allowed platforms like Facebook to become borderline necessary to participate in society. It’s about how a company is allowed to be the sole decision maker in whether you can participate in those areas of society.

  Through network effects, Facebook, Google, and friends have created a centralized version of the Internet, only accessible through them.

  We’re in a situation where companies have managed to embed themselves so far into society, that they’re acting like providers of social services.

  MyRadarPro has a travel mode and works with CarPlay. You can give it your destination and it will correlate travel time to future forecast. It will tell you things like, it will be raining when you reach this point along your route.

  Came looking for zombo.com. Was not disappointed.

  But then, zombo.com is the old Internet.
