It wasn't intentional. It got a reputation score from somewhere, and the mix of jobs, downloads, and discussion probably flagged it. Some Cisco app that the proxy directs to at my current client is blocking even reaching the home page.

Not paying or submitting pii(or both) for every little thing you do is worse than being a terrorist to Facebook. They only walk it back when they get caught.

Funny thing is that Facebook wouldn't exist without Linux. Most every big corporation runs their machines on Linux servers.

Android is nothing but Linux with some Google add-ons.

iOS is based on Unix (specifically FreeBSD).

Linux users were going to log on to argue their case against Facebook, but they are fighting with their wifi drivers at the moment.

I disabled wlan in the bios for my little Debian NUC. I’m guessing it would just work if I enabled it though. I wouldn’t know.
