[00:52:49] <Bytram> chromas: like I said, "I dunno if the editor interface allows that to go through". Just meant as a heads-up that <cite> *might* not work, not that I thought it would not work. ISTM that in editing a story, things are far less restrictive compared to, say, submitting a comment or a journal entry.
[00:54:11] <Bytram> Actually, I expect there is a very strong chance it *will* go through.

[00:56:44] <chromas> <cite> works. I've put it in manually a few times :)
[00:57:05] <Bytram> Ahhh! Good to know! Thanks a bunch!
[00:57:08] <chromas> it does get eaten when there's nothing inside though, which the bot does sometimes
[00:57:25] <Bytram> now, whether or not everybody's browser supports it or not...

[20:49:07] <chromas> Muh valuable shitposts being stolen?
[20:59:32] <carny> this time it's employee data
[21:00:34] <carny> but they sell your data to everyone they can so what's the difference?
[21:01:02] <chromas> money
[21:01:26] <chromas> Also, to be faiirrrrr, they don't sell my data; they sell my demographic
[21:01:50] <carny> they sell everything they can
[21:02:32] <carny> go apply for a loan at a big bank and see how they ask you to confirm your facebook id
[21:02:54] <carny> they're running your facebook profile just like they run your credit score now
[21:04:34] <chromas> Coca Cola doesn't need to know I'm a six-foot trannysauraus who's into mariachi metal; they just need to know that six-foot trannysaurauses who're into mariachi metal also drink their swill
[21:05:37] <carny> no but if they had a business reason to target you all the way down to a demographic of 1 facebook would let them do it
[21:06:01] <carny> they say that they only sell aggregated data but that's a lie
[21:06:39] <carny> you can't use social graph data to calculate interest rates on personal loans without targeting the individual
[21:12:45] <chromas> well that's different. pulling your profile directly isn't what they sell. that's free
[21:13:49] <chromas> and they only started pretending to care about that after people got butthurt over Trump's campaign doing a smaller scale version of what Obama's did
[21:19:13] <carny> i'm not talking about banks looking at your facebook page and seeing that you made a post about mariachi metal
[21:19:38] <carny> i'm talking about access to whatever data facebook has on you
[21:19:49] <carny> the more they pay the more they get
[21:21:08] <carny> facebook ai has a pretty good idea if you're drinking beer in that photo
[21:21:09] <chromas> Hm. Haven't heard about that
[21:21:40] <carny> and if you're doing a kegstand that will definitely affect your credit worthiness
