I actively boycott Zuckerberg’s offerings bar WhatsApp coz the bastard bought it out from under us. Fuck him, fuck Meta

These looked completely different in Europe.

WhatsApp is ubiquitous in Ireland, if only it was as easy to get away from it. Everything from clubs, schools, kids sport is done via group chats on WhatsApp. Absolutely hate Meta as a company, WhatsApp is the only app I use of theirs and only because they bought it from under us. If we could get proper interoperability, we could use a non WhatsApp app, but it’s not looking good so far.

So it looks like the problems are on the WhatsApp side. The EU should force them to get the finger out and come up with a proper solution.

Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it’s called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?

Signal is great. Think I read that WhatsApp will be forced to allow interoperability with other apps. Would be great if you could use Signal to access chats that started on WhatsApp. Fuck Zuckerberg. Whatsapp the only Meta app I use and only because the bastards bought it

Watching the IT crowd for the 1st time with the wife. So, so funny.

As soon as they’re forced to allow interoperability with other apps, I’ll be deleting WhatsApp. Had a Facebook from the beginning but deleted it when the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened. Have never had an Instagram. Fuck Meta and its horrible owner.

A cup of Rosy

I don’t get it 👀

Google and other companies are being covered by it, as they are headquartered in Ireland for their EU activity. So what’s dumb about that? And what are you on about sensoring? Did you even read the article?

I’ve read your sentence multiple times and I’ve no idea what it means.

Address is Ireland. No location set in the location section (under name in profile section), but my address is clearly set.

Ireland here, so EU, and both were turned on.

Excel web app can’t do pivot tables and a number of other things that the desktop version can do. Been a while since I looked though.

The web app is nowhere near as powerful as the desktop app. I need the desktop app for about 25% of my work.

I’ve never tried. Does it handle random applications or would they need to be on a list?

As a small business, I need MS office & 2 other pieces of software that have no Linux versions. Rightly pissed off that I’ll have to upgrade my main machines to Win 11 by Oct 25.
