While we're at 4chan: LulzSec is back ...  :D

That said, the only social network you can trust in is one you administer on your own servers. (Like installing Diaspora or whatever.)

No, basically you just need yourself. Anyway, in the decades before Facebook no one dared to say "I can only have contact with my friends via ..".

Most people in my favorite social network (called "real life") say that they "need Facebook to stay in contact with their real friends. Now I wonder what makes a "real friend" if the whole friendship is only maintained via Facebook or something similar?

When I was young, I did not have the internet, but I had real friends in cities I could not easily reach every day. Wondering how I managed that...

Yeh, if there only was some way to stay in contact with them (like ICQ/AIM/MSN/Y!IM/Jabber/... or e-mail or, hmm, ever heard of a phone or something?) ... sooo glad that we all have Facebook!  :D

I recently found TinyShark, free Grooveshark for Android. You don't even need a Grooveshark account. Very, very great.  :-*

I decided to create a wholly new "real identity" for everything related to Google. I even created a fake Google Mail real name account. No, it's not "Tyler Durden".  :P
Because some of my subscribed mailing lists are hosted on Google Groups, I had to reconsider boycotting Google completely...

The "feature" that you can make any panel "floating" is a side-effect of making them draggable. AFAIR AC Browser Plus doen't let you disable all that overlapping - x² does. :)

Well, it works against spammers; and the main thing about "social networks" is to stay in touch with people who know you in real life. Anyway, it is dangerous to let Google know too much about you.

At least the rumor that you need a Google Mail account has been proven wrong.

According to a couple of German websites, some profiles with an obviously faked name were removed. Oh, and online magazines are deleted anyway because "no business allowed yet". Sigh.

Circles are just a copy of Diaspora's "aspects", so if they are the reason to use Google+, you might prefer Diaspora instead...

Google is trying to copy Facebook now. Deleting profiles without a real name and stuff. So that's about the "alternative", huh?

Mini-Reviews by Members / xplorer² 2.0: First beta versions around - Here comes the news.
« Last post by Tuxman on July 07, 2011, 06:50 AM »
I was asked to give the new x² beta versions a short review. Here it comes!
xplorer² has already been discussed here in the past, so I will focus on the actual news in this version.

First, x² v2.0 is still a beta version, meant to find and squash bugs before release.



The majority of planned changes is already implemented though, the most significant one is docking.
You can drag every single panel around, make it even floating, which is especially nice for people who use the two-panel mode.

Screenshot-2011-07-07_12.53.40.png Spa__C__Programme_und_Funktionen_-_xplorer-2011-07-07_13.41.42.png

As you might see, the preview panel has also been improved a lot. Its "native" view uses Windows' own preview handlers for all known file types, so buggy third-party preview handlers won't crash x² anymore. Also, there's automatic resizing now.

xplorer² has been my primary file manager for a while. With v2.0 it makes another long step compared to its competitors.
The only thing that has still not been improved is the handling of Windows' namespaces, so assigning x² to folders like the Control Panel (via registry) does not always work, "Windows Update", for example, will show up as an empty folder. But that is rather common among file managers, so doing that is not recommended anyway.  :D

A pity I only own one license. On the other hand, there's still XYplorer.  8)

Hmm, it uses standard preview handlers, so... average, I'd say.  ;D
Why don't you grab the beta and try it yourself?
