I had an uncle that had a problem with leaking. Ended up just having to wear a diaper everywhere.

If he had the right plumbing then a zip tie would have also worked.

“There are a bunch of things that I think are value-destroying for me to talk about, so I’m not going to talk about those…”

Well have you thought about not being a piece of shit 😂

Like, isn't that an admission that your business has no value?

Now that's an amazing headline.

Imagine being worth 229 billion, and you look like that.

This realities Bond villains are so pathetic looking.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Drugs and lack of sleep does that to you.

Drugs and sleep have no effect on cyborgs

I cyborg wouldnt be so pathetic, he is definitely a homunculus a la Full Metal Alchemist.

he could at least find a better haircut than pube fro.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I have the same hair and it's fucking impossible

It dries and frizzes immediately. If you don't have time to care for it daily, it inevitably looks like this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (3 children)

this isn't some schmoe like you or me, he's a billionaire. he can afford a daily stylist, or at least before conference calls.

It's an improvement over his last haircut. He looks like he actually goes outside sometimes now, too.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

He was going for Roman Emperor with the last one, but he neglected to consider the shape of his head. I really don't know what haircut would look good with his strangely shaped face/head.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

This look feels like the opening sequences of Dazed & Confused.

That's what it feels like when you steal other people's personal information ..

[–] [email protected] 30 points 13 hours ago

If only that feeling could be cranked up for him x 3 billion.

"I don't like it when people find out what I really think"

[–] [email protected] 117 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 52 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

a terrorist.

and remember folks... there was a time when boomers thought that the Patriot Act was for scary Muslim extremism...

Is that dude turning orange?

[–] [email protected] 155 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

No he had his face stuck to Trump ass and some it transferred to Zuck.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Symptom of fascism

[–] [email protected] 51 points 17 hours ago

His hyu-man skin is melting.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 16 hours ago

He's clearly trying to make himself seem more appealing to the orange man in DC.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

There's enough reason to shit on him without this. He just looks like a ginger who's spent too much time (15 minutes) in direct sunlight without slathering sunscreen on his face first.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago

If I had as much money as Zuck, I'd have a full body sunscreen applicator installed in my beach house so I just stand there for a second and get my sunscreen.

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 15 hours ago

Sounds like lady shit

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 backdoor is Microsoft and Apple, 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 user's OSes as possible.

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]

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

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

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.

"Would you like your evil done in the traditional overt bombs-dropped-on-children fashion, or the new we'll-sell-your-entire-life-to-the-highest-bidder-while-feeding-you-non-stop-lies-to-establish-a-fascist-regime style, sir?"

This guy: Bomb some kids, at least it's a spectacle.

(Edit for clarification: I think both are bad, and one has a strong causal relationship with the other but I am not sure I would pick Raytheon personally. It's a bit too overtly evil for my tastes)

At least they are environmentally conscious, unlike Facebook

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I refuse to believe that tweet is real on principal, but it's just tone deaf enough to have me question whether this might have actually been shat out by a corporate marketing team as part of some greenwashing effort.

If this is someone memeing however: Kudos, this one is very convincing despite being wildly ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

It is satire, but they have a tweet on a environmentally friendly radar searchable on Google and a https://rtx.com/our-responsibility/sustainable-operations page so even if fake, it's not that far-fetched

[–] [email protected] 49 points 16 hours ago

Nothing to hide nothing to fear wasn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago

Zuckerburg says "Today I ate a sandwich!"

Nobody cares.

But wait......the full quote was "Today I ate a sandwich......of babys!"
