I'm reminded of this:

The king himself rode a horse and shot arrows at a deer. However, the horse stumbled, causing him to fall off, but he was not injured. Looking around, he said, "Do not let the historians know about this."

Seriously. If everything I said leaked to billions of people, I'd be a comedic phenomenon, a trendsetter, and a terrorist.

Mark Zuckerberg did not address Meta’s $25 million settlement with Donald Trump that will see the company paying $22 million for the eventual establishment of the Trump Presidential Library.

My biggest surprise is that trump wants to establish a presidential library. Probably has some plan to steal the money from there.

I want to be able to be able to talk about stuff openly, but I am also trying to like, well, we’re trying to build stuff and create value in the world

PFFFFFFFHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

zuck the fuck is worth approx 229billion.

a 25mil fine is 0.01% of his net worth.

If your average yearly salary is 30,000, thats like paying a fine of 3 ~~00~~.

edit math hard thank you @[email protected]

300 would be 1% wouldn't it? It'd be like paying a fine of 3

ZuckFuck doesn't make his net worth each year. So let's compare it against US citizen net worth. I have stats from 2022

Average American new worth is ~$1,050,000 Median American net worth is ~$192,000

I hate zuck as much as you but it's important to be accurate and fair as possible when comparing statistics.

So it's like a fine of $19 if using median and $105 if using average. Still peanuts for a fine

One way to avoid recurrent leaks is to foster a culture of trust and not be a ginormous dickwad.

One cool thing about these leaks is: if you weren't saying batshit crazy stuff, no one would care.

I'm a pacifist hippy tech worker, and I would gladly draw a paycheck from Raytheon long before I even consider applying to Facebook or Twitter.

Raytheon is putting "more value into the world" than these shitheads.

I hate Facebook and that they will ban people, without notice, unless they record a video selfie from multiple angles, and then still sometimes permanently ban people even then, without a way to pay to prove the person is real or talk to someone or even get a reason for the ban. I also think Facebook is an arm of the government and is not really a company (quasi-governmental) and is basically a corporate rebranding of LifeLog and Zuckerberg probably got a 1600 on his SATs and was recruited to join the government while in high school.

So that all being said, despite my hatred of Facebook, what he is saying isn't that illogical.

Let's say Zuckerberg personally supports trans rights and thinks Trump is an idiot. He can't say that in a meeting that will obviously have leaks. It would be "value-destroying." Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don't hate trans people because they understand science and how prenatal hormone conditions and epigenetic conditions means that sometimes internal senses of gender don't match biological at birth sex. (Musk is the rare exception to this and it seems like his reaction comes from ego and anger about being estranged from his daughter and autism/lack of empathy, and so he's a weird data point that doesn't neatly fit if we take his reaction at face value.)

So let's say Zuckerberg wants to say "We support trans and gay people, we have to do this so Trump doesn't go after us to remain profitable and not end up needing to decrease our head count, I hate Trump." If he said that, someone would immediately leak it, Trump would go Ape Shit, and the company would lose value.

It's hard to know for certain if this is what he's talking about, but if he is, this isn't really something to fault him on.

Facebook labeling linux as somehow evil, on the other hand, is a bizarre and shitty thing to do, so fuck Facebook and fuck this asshole who is letting linux be labeled as a cybersecurity threat. I also think Facebook doing this is because government, which has backdoors in Microsoft and Apple OSes, doesn't like linux and sees it growing in popularity and so I believe the government requested Facebook do this. I can't fathom a social media company would do this for no reason on their own, it makes no sense, but if Facebook is Lifelog and always has been Lifelog and Zuckerberg gets his orders from someone else, then it would make sense that they implement policies regarding labeling linux as bad to try to keep their backdoors in as many users' OSes as possible.

What's the point of having "Fuck You Money" if you don't say "Fuck you" when it matters?

Eh... intelligence is helpful, but in the end does not inoculate one against BS opinions. Musk is (supposedly) intelligent and toxic as hell, Richard Dawkins is (definitely) intelligent and a fucking TERF. fuck, Jordan Peterson (for all his faults) is a demonstrative intelligent man... he's just also an asshole and wrong about a multitude of things.
