Is Twitter about to get more invasive than Facebook?
The company's latest acquisition gives it creepy powers that advertisers would die for.

@jameshjacksonjr Funny that article is 6+ years ago. Probably already long happened.
@pkimpton
That's what I mean they started taking back then and track even more now today
@jameshjacksonjr anyways, on my 10hr, 3 stop route. Been at work since 2pm
@pkimpton
Whoa long long day
@jameshjacksonjr 4hrs driving. An hour between each stop. Plus 30-40min at each stop. An hour home to unload. And whenever I squeeze in my 30min lunch.
@pkimpton
Wow 40 at each stop
@jameshjacksonjr from the one sticking out forward those are the broken ones. Now onto my 2nd stop...
@pkimpton
Must be tiring work
@jameshjacksonjr it can be. But it's why I don't pay for a gym. Now I'm heading to stop 2. Roughly an hour to get there.
@pkimpton
No gym gym needed doing all that
@jameshjacksonjr nope, this why I watch my carbs. No need to kill a large pizza on one sitting like I used to.
@pkimpton
Large pizza is good yummy
@jameshjacksonjr I've spent many a night asleep with fully loaded meatlover's pizza.. Can't do it anymore.
@pkimpton
Oh you can't eat a full large leftovers any more can't hang?
@jameshjacksonjr if I haven't eaten all day then yeah. But otherwise pizza for breakfast. Can't kill a full bottle of bourbon in one night either.
@pkimpton make it last long time
@jameshjacksonjr
I try. Side note.. Does the Fedilab app crash for you trying to access the camera?
@pkimpton I'm using librem social app now only briefly tested fedilab app then deleted it earlier today
@jameshjacksonjr The Librem Social app kept crashing for me in the notification bar. So I pretty much switched to keeping any Mastodon open in my browser with push notifications.
@pkimpton weird librem social app works perfectly for me
@jameshjacksonjr weird maybe I'll stick with the browser and keep tabs open like I was doing.
@pkimpton what operating system do you use
@jameshjacksonjr My phone is Android 8.0.0
@pkimpton @jameshjacksonjr I get the same behavior with Android 6, but I can open the app normally. I just close the notification and open the app.
@lwriemen @jameshjacksonjr Exactly... But I switched over to Fedilab but then I can't hit the camera button without the app crashing. No app is perfect apparently. Maybe I'll stick with the browser tabs for my instances.
@jameshjacksonjr @lwriemen Unless has literally turned to shit. lol
@pkimpton might be your device I'd try it on a friend's device if u can see if it still behaves like that.
@jameshjacksonjr I'm not worried about it... browser notifications work just fine for me. Plus one less app on my phone.
@pkimpton yeah your a browser guy vs app guy
@pkimpton u should see if you can totally get rid of apps and do it all from the browser!!
@jameshjacksonjr Been whittling away at doing so. Paypal was the first, Dunkin Donuts I only use the app to pay. I manage it from the browser. But may just switch back to using the card itself.
@pkimpton yeah turn phone on scroll to the app open it up open the pay section so they can scan it vs pull card out of wallet pay and go
@jameshjacksonjr Half the time the app has been shitty anyways, slow af refreshing funds on my DD card, etc. So I'll probably do that anyways just ditch the app.
@jameshjacksonjr just gave the proverbial ax to Flipboard among other newsletters over the weekend.
@jameshjacksonjr saves me from getting hooked on prescription pain meds and their side effects. Usually make a bottle last a few weeks.
