#Facebook is always hungry for all of your data.
The ecosystem maintained by #Meta will always try to scoop as much data as possible about you.
And they also love to spy on you while you’re not even using their services.
The “Meta pixel” has so far been adopted by ~20% of most visited websites.
It’s an invisible element rendered on all those webpages whose purpose is to spy on you. It’s thanks to these pixels that Meta probably has details about your tax returns and medical records.
But that isn’t enough for the espionage company better known as Meta.
After rolling out the tracking pixels about 10 years ago, many browsers and extensions have learned how to block them.
If you use Firefox in Strict mode, and/or the Facebook Container extension, and/or Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin, then chances are that your browser is blocking Meta’s creepy eyes.
Probably there aren’t a lot of people out there who take these measures, as they usually involve some degree of tech-savvyness. But the fact that there are still some people on planet earth that are trying to block their creepy eyes, some people whose tax returns, health records or sexual habits aren’t known to them, makes Meta uneasy. After all, it’s a company explicitly designed to know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE!
So what have they done?
Well, they basically opened a local backdoor on all Android phones that have some of their apps installed.
Usually a mobile app with INTERNET permissions can bind to any non-privileged TCP port on the local interface.
And that’s exactly what their mobile apps are doing.
They open a localhost socket, and then whenever you open your mobile browser on a website that has one of their trackers the JavaScript code tries to connect to that port to push scraped data from your browsing history to their apps.
They basically abuse the localhost sandbox, usually used by developers and less subject to the scrutiny of tracker-blocking software, to funnel private data scooped up from your usage of other websites, unencrypted, to their own apps, which in turn pushes it to their servers.
To be clear, this isn’t something new. Yandex has been doing it since 2017. And by now you probably shouldn’t trust any large-scale apps that come out of the US, Russia or China because they are all funded by State-sponsored programs whose aim is collective espionage and data collection.
If you want to protect yourself:
- Never use Chrome for browsing. Only use Firefox or one of its forks. And, since Firefox is the only mobile browser that supports extensions, don’t forget to install Facebook Container (which limits all activities related to known Meta domains in their own sandbox), Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin on it. And I would also recommend NoScript - better to explicitly whitelist all JavaScript content that you want to run on your devices than risking your data leaking to unintended actors. The way Meta exploits these loopholes in the browser to violate people’s privacy shows that it’s no longer tolerable to have browsers that don’t actively provide users ways to block trackers. Google acknowledged Meta’s abuse, allegedly provided a patch to close the localhost loophole, but still doesn’t provide privacy-focused features in their browser because they have a strong conflict of interests - because they also profit from violating people’s privacy. Ditching their products has now become a civic duty.
- Uninstall the Facebook and Instagram apps. Use the website instead. Webpages run in the browser’s sandbox and can’t just arbitrarily access the storage or start TCP services. I know that Facebook and Instagram in a browser suck, and that’s deliberate - it’s all part of Meta’s plan to force people to use their apps instead. But maybe it’s a good way to limit your usage of this crap.
- Avoid using WhatsApp through their app directly too if you can (sure, individual messages are E2E encrypted, but there’s plenty of juicy metadata that they can still scoop up from your app usage). I personally use Matrix with a WhatsApp bridge, so I can interact with my conversations directly from my Element app instead of using WhatsApp directly on the phone.
- Use Meta’s services as little as possible. If there’s some data point that they can harvest and sell about you, then rest assure that they will do. Moving to privacy-aware decentralized solutions like the Fediverse is now a civic duty. The more people move over their content, the more Meta’s services lose their value, the less people will be inclined to use them even if they hate them just because “everyone else is there”.

PSA: if your country can afford to give your money away to other countries, then you pay way too much in taxes! 😂
U.S. Spending on Foreign Wars and Foreign Aid Since 1917
Since the introduction of the federal income tax in 1917, the United States has spent vast sums on foreign wars and foreign aid. Below is a breakdown of major expenditures, adjusted to 2024 dollars, followed by a total.
### Major U.S. War Expenditures (1917–2024)
| War/Conflict | Estimated Cost (Trillions, 2024 USD) |
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| **World War I (1917–1918)** | $0.47 |
| **World War II (1941–1945)** | $5.74 |
| **Korean War (1950–1953)** | $0.48 |
| **Vietnam War (1962–1973)** | $1.03 |
| **Post-9/11 Wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)** | $8.00 |
- The post-9/11 wars include direct appropriations, obligations, and long-term veterans’ care[1][2].
### U.S. Foreign Aid Since World War II
- **Foreign Aid (since WWII):** $3.8 trillion
[3]Foreign aid includes economic, military, and humanitarian assistance to countries worldwide, with major recipients including Israel, Egypt, South Vietnam, Afghanistan, and South Korea[3].
### Grand Total
| Category | Total (Trillions, 2024 USD) |
|-------------------------|-----------------------------|
| **All Major Wars** | $15.72 |
| **Foreign Aid** | $3.80 |
| **Combined Total** | **$19.52** |
### Key Points
- The U.S. has spent **over $19.5 trillion** (in today’s dollars) on foreign wars and foreign aid since 1917.
- The largest single expenditure was World War II, followed by the post-9/11 wars.
- Foreign aid, while smaller than war spending, still represents a significant outflow of taxpayer money[1][3][2].

When I complain that some software (or its dependencies) doesn't work on *BSD but requires Linux, I'm not criticizing Linux. For me, it's not an OS battle, but a matter of freedom and avoiding a dangerous and rampant computing monoculture. And when people reply to me with "well, just use it on Linux" - while they're giving me sensible advice - they're missing the crucial point: if it ONLY runs on Linux, it's not Linux's fault, but we are, precisely, creating a dangerous monoculture.

I got let go at my job, I only worked there for over a month. I got let go due to my job performance. I didn’t get any feedback on how I could’ve improved for future jobs.
I saw how last week they hired a guy immediately and I saw that my position was already crowded. Then there was my mistake on not picking up an entire order due to not taking into account what I was picking up, the guy giving me the items also didn’t want to look at the paperwork when I gave it to him.
Just feels unfair.
The United States violates its own laws regarding transfer of weapons to nations committing atrocities, and now it sends people to countries they are not from.
The US government is literally and arms trafficking and human trafficking cartel.

Sectarian, genocidal incitement targets Christians in Safita, Syria
—
Residents of Safita, a city in Syria’s coastal mountain region, discovered inflammatory flyers distributed by HTS offshoot Saraya Ansar al-Sunnah.
The leaflets, posted on churches and storefronts, called on the “people of the Levant” to "purify the land" by murdering infidel Christians and to “spare neither their infants nor their newborns.”
The flyers call for the killing of children, enslavement of women, and destruction of churches.
Ansar al-Sunnah, who claimed responsibility for the Mar Elias Church suicide bombing, has allegedly denied involvement.

i learned today that, woman will go out of their way, to make men look like fools... how? misdirection, misinformation or worse, making you do shit, you don't know what to do.
its like forcing a teenager to do open heart surgery and then shamed them cuz they killed the patient...
but i know you know that, if you do that to woman, it's a criminal offence.
