Re:What Is MetaScreenshotCapture API? on Thursday December 04, 2025 @07:50AM (#46147086)
When clicking on an external link in my Facebook feed, the link opens in an in-app browser with a Debug menu in the top left and an FPS indicator in the top right of the page. When I click on the Debug menu I see logs about MetaScreenshotCapture API, IABScreenshotJS module, and IABScreenshotCaptureJSController. When I Google these terms I don’t find anything.

Does anyone know what this is? Should I be concerned?

I am using the Facebook iOS app on an iPhone 14 Pro Max with iOS 26.0. The Facebook app version is “Version 1.0\n531.0.0.35.77 (792629356)”.

Is it known how Rippling obtained information about D.S.' Slack activity? Does Slack provide this information or did Rippling obtain this information by running third party monitoring software on D.S.' machine?
You used to be able to hide the red notification with uBlock Origin. I don’t know if it still works though.

It worked for Arthur Anderson -> Accenture although they also restructured the business. E.g. Accenture is only the consulting part of the business.
Does anyone have any thoughts on date formats? E.g. d/m/y vs. m/d/y?
Looks like a zero to me. Unless it was supposed to be Ø?
