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
I don't drink at alli never have in my life
@jameshjacksonjr saves me from getting hooked on prescription pain meds and their side effects. Usually make a bottle last a few weeks.
@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 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 just gave the proverbial ax to Flipboard among other newsletters over the weekend.
@jameshjacksonjr about the hack. Nah. I didn't care to use it anymore.
@pkimpton
Yeah was just coincidence u deleted it on the hack day
@jameshjacksonjr I never got an email saying I was hacked. I didn't even see the article that Flipboard until after I killed my account. lol Odd though.
@pkimpton most people I know gave up flipboard at the same time most forgot they had an account till they got the email from them my friend said he got an email saying they were hacked but he forgot he even had a account with them till then is that what reminded u to delete it that email?
