Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp

 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

Cast change 2022 for Sonic and Keanu Reeves as Shadow the hedgehog

I'm just now finding out they did a full recast on Sonic the Hedgehog again. Kurt Thornton is no longer Shadow and Roger Craig Smith is no longer Sonic. I had some very strong opinions more about Kurt Thornton and I'm kind of glad they did a recast. I'm more disappointed that they recasted for people who sound similar instead of just shaking the whole thing up. If you're gonna recast the voice actors why not just go ahead and change the voices to make them sound different and distinguish them from the previous actors? The only one that I could actually tell had been recast was Doctor Eggman because he only sounds slightly different at first, but then he sounded more like his previous voice actor. I also have very strong opinions about how they unceremoniously change voice actors with Sonic the hedgehog. Unceremoniously changing an entire cast is pretty rare throughout the entire industry, but very common when it comes to Sonic the hedgehog. I don't think it's ri

TikTok paid a lot of money to make sure you never hear about these other apps

If you're black, brown, disabled/ disfigured, trans, or talk about any form of progressive politics or human rights you probably have a lot of issues with TikTok. A lot of us have five accounts to try to get around tiktok banning us, but what if we didn't have to live like that? What if we embraced the apps that tiktok paid all those millions of billions and advertising to make sure we never know about?  BIGO (little blue dinosaur logo) and Live. Me+ is where TikTok ripped a lot of its framework for their livestreaming setup from - and then paid billions of dollars in advertising to make sure you never hear about those apps.  And since these apps aren't popular, there are less white people. Not to say that these are designated black and brown spaces, but there are marginally less white people. And in my experience, when I first went on to bigo and live.me - for the few North American white people there were on the suggestions page, most of them were sex workers.  In my opi

Takoda Institute and adult education program REVIEW

The video: https://youtu.be/Uxcfu9c28YM this is a review of The takoda Institute adult education on Franklin avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota! Availability - they have reasonable daytime hours, 8 - 3 and 4. Accessibility - as someone who admittedly isn't disabled, I would say that the building is easy to navigate with wide hallways and a lot of movable furniture. The doorways do seem kind of narrow to me, so I don't know how someone with wheelchair would get into some of the rooms. But if someone who isn't wheelchair-bound I don't know what the necessary with is. But they feel narrow to me is an able-bodied person. Location - the main office in a lot of the adult education programs in a right on cedar and Franklin. These are bus routes blue Line, 22, 2, 67, and a 9 mainly. I would say that's a great location with high Public transportation traffic. cedar avenue and Franklin avenue are not so great during rush hour for personal vehicles. they do have their own parking
