I'm sensing a new trend: short videos in the backgrounds. Other similar site with the same trend https://letshum.com/
Anyone have any links to any good tutorials to embed background videos like this?
Great initiative, but it doesn't actually say what they're doing towards it.
It's terrible to be cynical, but can't help feeling like this is just a reaction to project loon. Basically a banding together of companies who might see Loon as a threat, to offer some kind of alternative that they are in control of instead of Google.
However unlike Loon, reading the entire page I can't see anything solid they will actually do - develop better compression algorithms? Introduce "business models"? That's it? It sounds suspiciously weak.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
facebook is literally an infinite well of data. I don't see how we could eradicate it without a truly terrible abuse of power coming to light from within the company.
Facebook isn't giving me useful implementations of my data. It's holding relationships hostage. It being the de facto source for internet services for large populations is only going to make things worse.
I've spent several months studying how to create tools that get around walled gardens (unfortunately they aren't mine and I can't open source them) but this is definitely a problem I wouldn't mind working on next. There are ways to get your information out of Facebook that would be extremely hard for them to counter, but it's a fulltime job to create something robust enough and maintaining it in the face of changes Facebook makes.
Now can we fix the problems before we ship it?
I start hating on this scrolling design stuff. Specially with bright pink.
It is just my computer... or are they not using any CSS styling?
1 - they dont have jobs and lack of money
2 - they are still strugling for food security
3 - their village or city have no energy
4 - they are maybe even without water
5 - they maybe have a low level education
so if they are so good and passionate about helping people all over the world, and they are insanelly wealthy people why they also dont make a bigger plan..
Thats one of the reasons i really admire bill gates right now.. he spend his fortune for a real common good..
while what facebook and others are doing is not bad at all, on the contrary can be a good thing.. what piss me off is that sort of marketing bullshit, like if we are stupid people that would buy that is "all for the common good, rainbows and unicorns"
Do it, show the good side of it, but also show the real reasoning behind it
A human being asking himself, about what he could do to help improve the life of others.. would get a lot of answers to start with but in none of those cases it would start with "extend the internet to the people that can barelly read so they can share their plate without any food in it for lunch time"
