 surprising...

(I am eternally grateful to meta for open sourcing, however)

 Sounds like he’s chasing trends. 
 🤙🏻⚡︎ 
 Loll... His "meteverse" wasn't going to work... 😩 
 Une idée n'avait non plus marché à l'époque de Canal + qui avait tenté le Meta vers je pense que lorsque universal s'est introduit dans leur capital.. Nous ne sommes pas  encore prêts pour ce Monde. Durant la pandémie MZ en a profité pour faire son marché et de grands groupes de l'industrie alimentaire ont été appâtes ... Heureusement pour nous.. Ces groupes de centres commerciaux me dégoûtent surtout au niveau exigence auprès des producteurs et coopératifs pour in fine des produits transformés  pas très sains pour la santé . Je m'y fournis point en termes de nourritures.. J'ai hâte qu'on revienne aux circuits courts..  
 @jack could you please check your DM, Jack? 
 Respectfully, he does not have time to talk to every stranger that DMs him 
 Tout dépend  
 not surprising at all. literally, meta owns nothing outright; it's a stake company. raw dogging the nets since forever has its perks if someone knows you well enough to recognize your legacy and the trust recognition is mutual. 🫡 
 N'est pas le seul..  
 yep. 
 Is it really surprising? Metaverse failed miserably and he didn’t want to take the time to make it work so he jumps on the next big thing to make headlines. 
 Are they going to change their name to something like ArTel or Artingence ? 
 this felt kinda predictable. I imagine meta and roblox are probably most dependent on AI in order to achieve their goal. Building a metaverse probably can't happen with AI the same way discovering the universe won't be possible without robots/energy 
 I saw too ♥️ So informative 
 Character speaks for itself - I ain’t surprise all you just no word can emphasize how I feel  
 It’s a safe space 
 So there’s a few concerns I have, one is the algorithmic feeds - people miss posts - one is them taking over email (people had their email addresses on their profile replaced with a fb.com email), and then another one is the censorship (though apparently zuck is pretty anti censorship but it’s hard to tell, his product doesn’t act like it) and also their anti companies business practices 

With all that being said it apparently turns out that they actually weren’t responsible for the 2016 election/russia story
