Now that Meta released its Muse Spark model, more people are downloading the Meta AI app. And if you join the app, your friends will probably get an Instagram notification about it.

      I am in my 50s and have never had a facebook account. I never will - but honestly I have been tempted to recently because apparently Craigslist is all scammers now and Facebook Marketplace is the go-to for local used buy/sell.

      If I could make a “marketplace only” account I would because I like to buy/sell used. But I can’t so oh well.

        Marketplace is very alive and kicking, it’s shocking how much more active it is since COVID.

        I will also say that FB has sucked a lot of attention away from traditional forum spaces - Australia’s Netrider for example. It’s much better to seek answers and ask questions in the motorcycle Facebook page for your model. Sadly. The introduction of anonymous group posting is a good thing though.

    It’s not embarrassing to still be using any Meta product?

    It’s like being worried because you recognized the guy in front of you at the checkout line at the dildo emporium as your priest…

    It would be awkward if he turns around, but he’s got a shopping cart of dildos too, how is he gonna judge?

      It’s not embarrassing to still be using any Meta product?

      I mean, they’re some of the most used tech products in the world, so they clearly do have people that like using them. The only sites/apps that are used more are Google and YouTube.

      I guess it’s like Nestlé. There’s some people that avoid their products and might be embarrassed to use them, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re still the largest food company in the world, and the vast majority of customers like their products and aren’t embarrassed to consume them.

      I was just imagining that situation and thought to myself that if only people were both cool and smooth enough to make casual unjudgemental conversation with the preacherman in the checkout line in that moment…

      What a world we could live in, if only everyone could stop being shitty to one another.

        In that situation, I kinda have to say the priest is the architect of their own awkward judgement. They would be labeled a hypocrite because they aren’t practicing what they preach. If I’m in Willie Jane’s Dildo Emporium and I see my buddy Steve, I’m just gonna be like, “Bro, what’d you get? I’m tired of the Ass-assin 2000, and I was thinking of going to the Hole Shebang Turbo EX Plus Alpha. Any thoughts?”

        The world would be a lot more fun without the clergy.
