You see, but you do not observe.

i have a very common last name email and it's amazing how many people send sensitive information by mistake

loans, training documents for big corps, bank statements, purchases at Walmart, school notifications about how their child might be recruited by some coach

people are dumb and lots of systems should require email confirmation before sending me that they're buying contraceptive pills and Vaseline at Podunk Ohio

cool, none of those things have happened to me in 9 years of using facebook. but since i've started using it less, the facebook app on my phone now lies to me that there are X notifications and Y messages for me, when there are 0 of either.

its not lying you really have those notifications and messages

theyre not unread though

those notifications show that facebook is making GBS threads themselves thinking of the day they tell wall street their engagement metrics are down

unfortunately while the AR view allows perspective, it isn't aware of the viewer's relation to the viewport. I.e., you have to be looking straight "through" the device. which is perfect if you're wearing it on your face but otherwise not so great. what you really want is to keep your device still and move your head around. and then the combination of both would be pure loving magic.

i can't wrap my head around people refusing to have Facebook

if you are really worried about the privacy thing just set everything to "only me" and never check in anywhere. it's very easy.

some things I've received due to having a Facebook account: me finding the owner of a dog I found, me finding the owner of 3 different cats I've found, a random friend I hadn't seen since high school messaging me "you were always really nice to me and I know you like old video games and I just found all mine so I have my old collection you can pickup for free", being notified of events that friends are having, reading posts about interesting events in my area, being able to publicly besmirch a company when calling customer service does nothing and then finally getting help, a guy in my neighborhood getting rid of an NBA Jam arcade cabinet for FREE because he "needs to get this loving thing out of my house, just come get it", the list goes on and on

im not sure that getting rid of things like that just so Fuckerberg makes 4 less dollars a year on advertising would really be sticking it to anybody but myself.

facebook is literally designed to overcome your defenses and waste as much of your time as possible. i can 100% understand people who want no part of that
