A lot of you probably didn't notice, but Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp
went down yesterday because the dsn a and AAA records were attacked.
I
don't have a full understanding of what that means, but given that the
domains became available for purchase, I can make context clues based on
the information I already have with my short time as a self-proclaimed
internet historian.
I'm also the type of person that is more
interested in why this happened because what happened is a lot simpler
to explain. What's not going to be so simple to explain but the media is
going to try to explain anyway are the Pandora papers. The long records
of a former employee recording all of Facebook's wrongdoings. I was one
of the many watching the highlights of Facebook's hearing, but I wasn't
watching them in full like many others. If you weren't involved at all,
but you're getting involved now, you're about to learn a lot from the
summaries of the Pandora papers.
For those of you who aren't
trying to keep up with this because you know you can't keep up with all
this shit for whatever reason, the least to be understood is that
Facebook Inc and its products going down like that is on some v for
vendetta shit.
If you're considering moving yourself around on
your internet presence and deleting Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp here
are some suggestions:
Replacement for Facebook
Friendica
Meetup
Twitter
Google probably has something coming down the pipe that will hopefully have a better introduction than Google plus.
Replacement for Instagram
Snapchat
(contrary to popular belief, Facebook does not own snapchat. They made
an offer in 2011 and the offer was declined. Google also made an offer
and was also declined.)
Twitter
Mastondon
Replacement for WhatsApp
Telegram
Signal
WeChat
A quick review of another attack item from Aldi What's really cool about these foldable keyboards is that they have four color options! It magnet shuts close but it doesn't have magnets on the other side to make it stay open so you have to use it on a flat surface. It has a hard time connecting/staying connected with cell phones, but it works fine with my Linux mint laptop. I initially bought it to see if it would connect with my KiaOS flip phone and unfortunately it didn't, but I'm going to keep it because it connects to my laptop. For it to connect to my Samsung Android, I have to unpair it and repair it and do the connection settings every time. I can't suggest buying this, But if you want something cheap for your laptop that comes in different colors, go for it.
