I bought an Oculus Go a few months ago and since then Facebook have discontinued it and are now phasing in Facebook accounts as the only way to login.

I’m so pleased to hear about Microsoft’s planned acquisition of TikTok. I can’t wait for TikTok for Business* and the seamless integration it promises with LinkedIn for sharing office japes like photocopying your arse.
* Not compatible with regular TikTok.
Climate Change
I don’t know why, but I found this article speculating on what life will look like in a few million years after we’ve killed ourselves as a species really positive!

Just a reminder to my fellow scholar.social folks: hope y'all are taking care of yourselves. Cuz academia sure as hell won't.
It's OK to be 'unproductive' sometimes. Tell that guilt to shut its yap.
Also, thanks for making this a cool place to hang.

#WorthReading - Good take on the coronavirus pandemic, and it's place in the wider contexts of neoliberalism and ecological destruction from Kim Stanley Robinson:

Good 20 minute talk on where subscriptions models seem to be leading us. Learned a lot of new terms, including 'Service as a Software Substitute':

Angry Sweary Rant
Seriously, can Microsoft just go and fucking die already? I’ve just signed back into OneNote on my home computer and suddenly I don’t have any notebooks anymore. Whatever. Weird Microsoft bullshit. Signed in online, and I have my notebook. Except, randomly, for the one fucking section I fucking need. I hate fucking hate fucking Microsoft. Everything they touch turns to fucking shit. More fucking fool me for trying to use their fucking shite again.
