This reminds me of the Silo series, where every level thinks they keep the Silo running.

I use bullshit answers for these, and save them in the notes section of my password manager.

I refuse to use Meta, and I block their various URLs in my home. Friends and family complain and give me grief about it. It’s astonishing how much of a creep Zuck is, and yet he’s got his hooks in deep, and some people are still addicted to his garbage.

Many of my friends use it. I’m old school and just keep a collection of mp3s on multiple devices for backup.
