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.”
— The Veritable Records of Taejong, Vol. 7, article 4
I remember reading this - IIRC the kingdom had an independant archivists division that was not under the control of the king, for the sole reason that kings would try to fit the narrative to their benefit.
That was a great read. Thanks!
One way to avoid recurrent leaks is to foster a culture of trust and not be a ginormous dickwad.
Sounds like lady shit
Honestly, it looks like the mall ninja tried the skin bronzer and then tried to get rid of it after. The thing is he’s going to have to wait for the dyed skin cells to shed off to replace themselves, as they do. The face itself sheds at different rates in different areas.
This is a disturbing thought, that he is so keen on cozying up Trump he tried the look. Has he changed his hair too? I don’t keep track.
Nothing to hide nothing to fear wasn’t it?
he got the same clown makeup as his daddy
One cool thing about these leaks is: if you weren’t saying batshit crazy stuff, no one would care.
Zuckerburg says “Today I ate a sandwich!”
Nobody cares.
But wait…the full quote was “Today I ate a sandwich…of babys!”
the thing is he thinks he knows better than the rest of us. because he’s a billionaire.
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.
they stopped the linux thing after backlash
What was the Linux thing?
do you have a attention span of 0.5 seconds?
No, so try to keep it short.
(not exactly a reply to you but a general reaction to all the news related to tech giants and Trump since the inauguration)
My take on the Linux “ban” is that it probably was intended to be a soft shadow ban (but something went wrong) on free software and open source alternatives. These companies are at the top, they now have the money and the government, there is only one thing that can bring them down: the people. It’s as simple as just deactivating or deleting your facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Google accounts (talking to those with an account). There was life before them, there was internet before them and there are alternatives (we are using one right now). Yes, there are a lot of benefits to using these platforms but what’s gonna be? Continue to fuel these companies by complaining about them and their CEOs and Trump, on their platforms, or leave and stop being part of the problem?
He can’t say that in a meeting that will obviously have leaks. It would be “value-destroying.”
What’s the point of having “Fuck You Money” if you don’t say “Fuck you” when it matters?
It’s all about who you can say it to. As much as elmo is probably trying to change it, right now the dystopian future of shadowrun hasn’t appeared, and the various governments are still the big dogs in the pound. See brazil for a recent example. Even apple, famously trying to thwart regulations, has eventually caved to the EU on the charger issue, as another example.
Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don’t hate trans people
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.
I’ll do a reverse reductio ad Hitlerum and say that a lot of people who had substantial enough communication with Hitler considered him very intelligent. Just, well, unhinged, with an itch he couldn’t scratch, with murderous overvalued ideas … But misjudgements usually used to justify calling him a corporal limited in perception are big because a man shouldn’t have such power, not because the particular man who had was dumber than the rest.
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
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.
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
Imagine being worth 229 billion, and you look like that.
This realities Bond villains are so pathetic looking.
He’s no Hank Scorpio, I’ll tell you that.
Hank actually cared about his workers, too.
“Homer, when you get home, there’s gonna be another floor on your house!”
Drugs and lack of sleep does that to you.
he could at least find a better haircut than pube fro.
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.
Same I just get it cut short every eight weeks. Speaking of which i’m overdue.
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 ok not to spend time and money on looks. No matter how much money you have. There’s no obligation to look good for anyone. The way he looks is not the problem with him.
of course it’s not “the” problem with him, we are clearly circlejerking here.
and i’d say as the founder/ceo/face of a company you do owe it to the company, including the employees, to look presentable.
He owns the company, he can represent it anyway he wants. If he owes anything to his employees, it’s fair wage (I have no idea how fairly or not he pays).
It’s an improvement over his last haircut. He looks like he actually goes outside sometimes now, too.
He is rocking that sun bed tan line(the white eyes and live over the nose), which to me makes it look like he never actually does go outside. And does seem to have a bit of an orange tinge to him as well.
How far has that “democracy” sunk.
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.
This look feels like the opening sequences of Dazed & Confused.
Drugs and sleep have no effect on cyborgs
I cyborg wouldnt be so pathetic, he is definitely a homunculus a la Full Metal Alchemist.
Then maybe you should shut your Trump dick sucking mouth, champ.
Them stop talking Mark.

Good people don’t turn their backs on their ethics and beliefs for money, even if it’s a lot of money
double post
Dumbass Oligarch complains about having to watch what they say.
“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…”
We’ll have you thought about not being a piece of shit 😂
Like, isn’t that an admission that your business has no value?
No not at all, but it is an admission that they know what they’re doing is wrong and they just don’t give a shit.
If he only took a glance at the very straightforward privacy settings…
