Mouse-based design. Not ideal for me on a mobile phone where I have no mouse!

Flickr is the only part of Yahoo that is worth anything. The question is how much.

I think the idea that flickr is worth anything is still in question.

I find flickr with Creative Commons search incredibly valuable.

> Yahoo finance and Fantasy and Sports are MUCH bigger then Flickr.

The also own Tumblr, you know, the site that pretty much killed deviantArt in the first place.

How did Tumblr kill DA? They're incredibly different, though used mostly by the same demographic.

You mean real estate agent. Landlords generally get the cheapest shit because otherwise it cuts into the bottom line.

Depends on what you're renting. Also they usually splurge on things that look fancy like microwaves, and cheap out on hidden things like recessed lighting that is "secured" with aluminum screws.

80% of the world's Muslims were still permitted in during the ban.

That's what "no it wasn't a Muslim ban" is saying. You can not have a rational discussion on the topic without first agreeing to the context of the words. I hope you understand the other side of the argument is just as correct and valid. Any subset of a group (5% of Muslims, a single McDonalds store) can still be referred to by the group moniker (Muslims, McDonalds) without it being a false statement. Hence "yes it was a ban on Muslims".

Both groups think the other side is being intentionally pedantic by refusing to accept their interpretation of "Muslim ban" which keeps every discussion on the topic in a permanent circle jerk instead of becoming a discussion on the merits, faults, and legality of the executive order.

You might be interested in mbasic.facebook.com.

Surprised it has not been mentioned yet, but mbasic.facebook.com would solve the issue in both articles. I don't even have a facebook account and I'm constantly referring people to the slimmer version. I guess they must not advertise it.

Thanks. This is what i needed. FB on mobile browsers is usable again. They have intentionally crippled the mobile site if you want to chat, to have you install messenger, which is probably the worst app(/malware) i have seen.

There's something weird happenning here with that subdomain. I've just tried using that domain to access facebook on my android phone a couple of times, it was redirecting me to https://mobile.facebook.com/?_rdr every time.

Until I've decided to try it in the Chrome Incognito Mode. It worked correctly, without redirecting to the normal facebook's mobile site.

But after coming back from Incognito, it started working as intended on normal browsing mode too.

I noticed something similar when I was travelling in either Hong Kong or Thailand. The network operators in that country offered free access to Facebook and so when accessing mbasic... it would ask you if you wanted to use Facebook for free, and if not then it would forcefully redirect you to the regular Facebook interface - no option to use the lightweight one.

Thank you so much :) It's like old Facebook... and quite the reminder of how quickly our world changes.

Thanks! mbasic.facebook.com loads fast, and better yet, doesn't seem to suffer from random filtering. I saw several useful things there that were inexplicably hidden on the normal site. I can only assume FB will break it soon...

there's also quite a few open-source apps on F-DROID which are merely wrappers around the mobile site. I've been using "FaceSlim" for a while.

You can also enable "show desktop site" on Chrome android to get messenger to work again.

That looks nice. I wonder if there is a way to set it as the preferred mobile site (for incoming links). That being said the mobile site is quite good anyways, so it's not a big issue for me.

This approach doesn't work anymore (at least for me). I always get redirected to a page that prompts me to install Messenger.

mbasic is different from the normal Facebook mobile site. It doesn't even seem to have any JS as far as I can tell. More designed for WAP etc

Upvoting for the correct use of all caps.

What planet are you living on where this is true? Do you work for Segway's marketing department or something?

I think the post makes more sense if you replace 'Millennial' with 'Exaggerated caricature of a Hipster'.

Come now. Everybody knows the fixie is the hipster ride of choice.

are unicycles out now?

Perhaps he meant those hoverboards that don't actually hover.

The BC Liberal goverment has been in power too long, but people really like to play Real Estate Casino so the legacy lives on for now.

Six months ago people knew this was coming. If they bought at that time they were just ignoring the writing on the wall because they wanted to play real estate casino. No sympathy for sad house flippers, sorry!
