Mark Zuckerberg is a whiny cunt.
Easily the dumbest and least innovative of the silicon valley megabillionaires.
Seriously, Facebook was not even the first Social Media of it’s type. Truly bizarre that this guy has earned so much.
Yeah, I honestly did not really understand why Myspace was that big of deal (other than for bands trying to make it - it did seem like a useful platform for that) and I didn’t really see what distinguished FB as anything remarkably better? Maybe it was just more addictive, and that’s it. I still get annoyed when someone sends me a FB link to something, because usually to read much of it, I have to log in. FFS, walled garden? Why not send me a link to a Compuserve forum or something?
…but it still makes me laugh that starting around the time of FB’s ascent, the notion of technical/media literacy jumped from actual literacy in either/both of those things, to knowing your way around a particular brand’s version of that, all while dumping on the last set of now-deemed-uncool-by-the-cool-kids brands. So, at one point, it was all the hilarity to bash someone still using Myspace, while being on Facebook. Now it’s moved onto dunking on “boomers” still using Facebook with any kind of frequency and proclaiming that only the people on TikTok really “get it”.
WTF is there to get? This is a brand thing. People sliding their finger around on a screen, engaged with an algorithm meant to treat them like someone at a slot machine are probably actively getting stupider about both tech and media, regardless of the brand they happen to be using. This is like saying someone drinking Coke doesn’t really get it, because “Pepsi is the choice of a new generation”. Brainless.
Is Friendster detrademarked yet? It would be a great name for a friendica instance.
Yes he is. He went in Joe Rogan recently and tried to pretend that he goes bow hunting and Rogan could tell he was lying and made him look like an idiot.
Rogan is one of those idolized dorks who occasionally, somewhat usefully, point out to their base that another idolized dork should be rightfully mocked.
Dork is very tame. The guy talks batshit crazy stuff. Angels living among us and I don’t know what, really to of the line bullshit.
Joe Rogan talks about angels living among us? Damn, dude changed a lot since I used to listen to his stuff.
Lol as a fan of archery I’d really like to see that.
It’s so fucking weird that he would think that bow hunting is some kind of flex. I guess that’s 'merica for ya.
I’d be really curious what he means about “masculine energy” at companies. As in, what is the actual manifestation of that? Do they go bow hunting as a team building thing?
The dude is just insecure with his masculinity. That’s all it is. He’s trying to cultivate some kind of manly tech bro image that doesn’t fucking exist, and he’s bad at it.
EU should ban Meta like the US is banning Tiktok
You mean that if the bribe is interesting enough, the timeline can be arranged?
“I’m telling Mom!!!”
I’m thinking Mark needs the EU more than they need him…
Yeah if they shut out Facebook I’m willing to bet a properly funded EU-based company could fairly quickly build up similar infrastructure. /srs
Pushing an open-source alternative like Friendica would be ideal but either way the globally anti-competitive nature of giant social corporations has gone on too long; a breaking point for innovation is overdue.
Given that the EU has accounts on Mastodon, why not check all the list and make every government in the EU have their own AP servers? Not only Mastodon but Lemmy, Pixelfed, Peertube, …
Zuck is such a beta.
Also, they were banned with Russia and China, maybe start w there
I cannot for the life of me imagine being worth $200B and still being willing to kiss anyone’s ass, let alone Trump’s.
I think that’s the starting point anyway. WWIII, fought over Facebook 🤦♂️
Trump will not fight war against China or Russia, except “trade war” which is hurting Americans more than China. .
Cuckerberg. It’s right there.
In Russia because of Putin’s opposition being there. Prob same in China.
Real big “my dad is stronger than your dad” energy
His friends would be embarrassed, if he had any
This whole MAGA thing is one giant oedipus complex
Do they realize the EU is a foreign group of countries, with separate legislation and autonomous power?
Literally no. They can not wrap their heads around the idea that other people have agency.
I assume they expect them to cower to political/economic threats. Which they may do.
Death to Meta.
Holy cow Zucky literally calls him Big Daddy
This kind of thing is common and has happened for decades. Boeing is the example you are probably most familiar with.
Tbh I’d bet most dairy farmers are pretty solid fighters.
Wrong! I win!
Correct answer would have been “How appropriate. You fight like a cow!”
Soon you’ll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab.
Most dairy farmers are obese old guys.
The ones I know are all in pretty good shape for their ages.
Fucking temper tantrum whiney little bitch.
Daddy T, I’m not getting my way, make them do what I want!
EU should block Meta full stop.
People need to leave their personality cult echo chamber human cattle factory facilitators based in the US.
