Well, this is new and doesn’t at all smell like finger printing
For context: I’m already logged in on my phone (and this PC has logged into FB before also). So, how does that work, exactly? Log out, try to log in from phone…same issue, as now BOTH devices are logged out?
Hmm. Near as I can tell, this is due to clearing cookies recently / history. Having said that, I’ve cleared cookies thousands of times before and been able to log in just fine. Which therefore suggests…what… policy change server-side, not a coincidence? I’m on the same hardware, same browser, same IP. FB appears to have changed what counts as “trusted.”
PS: Yeah, I hate FB too. It’s the only way I have to communicate with some folks. Believe me, given the option, I’d make em all use Signal or XMPP.
People don’t tolerate change.
After Windows 10 stopped getting updates, Auntie Dear finally consented to Linux Mint. Guess what, after installing unattended-upgrades, she complained that the computer stopped pestering for updates.
In the end, I explained that being Linux, it’s perfect and thus doesn’t need fixes.
She complained about not being pestered for updates constantly?
Wow, some people are just… wow.
It went something like “The old one did, this one does not. Why not? Is it broken? Computers are supposed to update software, y’know.” - everything about this reasoning is correct, except that there’s the wonderful unattended-upgrades thingamajig in Debian derivatives that takes care of it.
