HEYO!

[Nabubrush]

Still rocking the new job. Thus far: not as brutally stressful, and more sleep is available. Negative: Waking up more in the middler of the night.

...have to go undo the settings override Facebook applied so that everything sends me email. you might should check your own settings if'n you don't like your inbox all cluttered with what you'd see anyway.

The More You Know

[wombat]

Yeah, WTF was that about?

I am more and more sure that Facebook is a big psychological experiment about how much they can piss people off before they stop using it.

[smick]

I have a friend here who is a software developer, putting together apps for Facebook for companies.

He is continually surprised that Facebook isn't down more often than it is.   From the sounds of it, they're kind of a joke, development-wise.

try not to roll my eyes every time some assclown talks about celebrating "420".

[wombat]

Facebook isn't completely down that often, but there are almost always little things not working correctly, so really, it's hard to tell which changes are due to evil and which are due to incompetence. I find it perfectly plausible that this email updates thing was a screwup and not deliberate. Unless of course I'm right that it's all a deliberate mind game.

I'm just pissed because I just checked my email settings YESTERDAY MORNING, because I got added as an admin to one of my clients' pages, and of course it defaulted to emailing me for that site all the time. So I went in and fixed my settings, and checked to make sure the ones on my personal account hadn't been changed, and then, less than 12 hours later, I started getting emails for my personal account again and had to go uncheck all 50 or so opt-out boxes. Fuck you, Facebook, for resetting my preferences, and fuck you in the EAR for not having an "uncheck all" box.

I, on the other hand, rely on the emails to track my comments and postings.  Meanwhile Facebook decided that it wouldn't email me if I only "liked" something.  Sometimes I want to track a post even if I have nothing to say on the matter.  Facebook has taken that away.  I could probably go to the settings and check or uncheck a box somewhere, but I'm too apathetic to care about it.

There's another issue that I am having with Facebook these days.  If I watch a video (Facebook allows fullscreen now, btw) and then later click on a picture it starts to play the video again.  That's what it does on my desktop computer.  On my laptop, if I click on a picture, when I click away from it it scrolls my news feed all the way back to the top.

I'm grateful in a way, because it usually makes me go 'fuck it' and go do something productive instead.

This has been bugging me, too. For a while clicking Like acting like "subscribing" to an item. Do they still do the thing where if you comment on something they notify you of the next 4 or 5 responses then assume you've lost interest? Why does FB want to default to only showing me certain things? It constantly makes me reclick "most recent" every day. Why can't they understand that I want to see everything from everybody in chronological order? Show me everything I haven't specifically blocked (like games and horoscopes and crap).

[theinevitable]

the only thing that pisses me off about Facebook is that I am having a stupid problem, and their own FAQ says that the only way to get it fixed is to contact them, and I spent a ridiculous amount of time figuring out how to contact them, and it still isn't fixed.

then they sent me a survey about how my facebook customer-service experience has been, and I answered every question with a pissed-off rant... still not fixed.

[jaydub]

I get a lot of use out of FB's friend list tool (y'all are TOUAMB, no surprise), but I wish they had a way to use the lists to filter out posts.  I like some of the games on there, and I want the posts that other game players put into my newsfeed - but I'd like to be able to specifically remove them when I want a view of what all my non-gaming friends are up to.  Yes, I have told FB this.

Facebook really is taking over the world

[greenkoolayd]

So far FB has resulted in me pissing off my mother, father, both brothers, sis-in-law and a couple of cousins.

Gawd, I love facebook!
