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.

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

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.

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.

secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world on 31 Jan 2025 19:02 collapse

I really think this is the exception rather than the rule. People who know what endocrine disruptors are, understand epigenetics, and understand how prenatal hormone environments can affect brain development probably almost all universally support trans people.

It’s like global warming: 99 percent of smart scientists agree it exists, and the remaining 1 percent have random reasons to think otherwise.

The thing is people who understand (on even a low level) epigenetics, prenatal hormones, endocrine disruptors, and how brain structural changes can impact senses of gender probably comprise less than 1 percent of 1 percent of the population. Most people are very dumb and on lemmy, the average IQ is probably 1 SD above normal, meaning the average lemmy user is easily in the top 20% of IQs. The average person is so unintelligent relative to a lemmy user it’s like comparing an atom to Jupiter. The Musks (autism) and Dawkins (old age and cognitive inflexibility) of the world are not typical of the intelligent people in society, they are just high profile outliers. Almost everyone intelligent supports trans people and those that don’t are cognitively defective. Vance at one point thought he was gay and dressed like a woman. Being a bisexual who chooses not to act on same-sex urges perhaps creates extreme cognitive dissonance or perhaps Vance is less hostile towards trans people and is poltiically savy. (I am not saying Vance has bisexual urges; I don’t know.) I just don’t think anyone with any intelligence can be hostile to trans people unless there is something impacting their brain in a negative way (extreme lack of empathy, religion, extreme cognitive inflexibility, extreme cognitive dissonance). Vance is also extremely intelligent despite his political affiliations.

Unfortunately, the bulk of society are really fucking dumb and can hate trans people and have “normal” dumb brains because they just lack the logic to understand science and phenotype variation and how altered structures lead to altered behavior.

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.

secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world on 09 Feb 2025 18:54 collapse

He may have made a calculation about this not based on money and can’t disclose it without altering the calculation.

Example:

Scenario 1: Tell Trump to fuck off for treatment of transgender people. Result: Trump using monopoly power to break up Facebook, truth social increases in power, no way to monitor hate groups effectively

Scenario 2: Pretend to agree with Trump and move hard right, monitor hate groups, come back slowly center in subtle ways, no rise in Truth Social users, ability to shape acceptance over time

Even with fuck you money, saying fuck you makes scenario 2 possible. Say what you want avout Zuckerberg, but he’s no idiot. If I as an indifferent person can do a simple decision tree example in 3 seconds in my head, imagine how much he analyzed such a big decision.

My point is Facebook sucks because they make it almost impossible for users to use Facebook without submitting to surveillance capitalism and ban people without giving them recourse in a mean shitty way. He must be aware of that and for allowing that, he sucks. And as a US company that is likely in bed with surveillance capitalism and the intelligence community, their “private” ways of verifying individuals is unlikely to be private, and they offer no alternative. So he sucks for that, but I’m not sure he specifically sucks for this reason. He’s even heavily implying strategic thinking is requiring him to do things he otherwise wouldn’t and can’t discuss it without altering the outcome.

Whether the end never justifies the means (same “we won’t vote for Kamala because of Gaza stance” mindset) is better ethically even if impractical is another debate.

Every other executive and most of the management in the country deals with this. Hell even the lowest level of workers deal with this in the opposite direction. Probably 3/4 of the white collar workforce deals with this.

We’re all working under the same constraints here.

In my immediate private and professional spheres, I have a pretty good idea of who will or will not keep a secret. In that mental list, 10% of it is easily wrong that is highly situation-dependent. Each one of them that would pass the information on has their own private and professional sphere whom they think won’t pass information.

It is simply not possible to pass information to your entire company without expecting it to get out.

It might piss him off but it’s absolutely to be expected. If you want to tell your company that Trump has you by the balls without getting in trouble, you say: We have recently made some very controversial changes to our policies. We as a company do not support these controversial changes and and we are not able to disclose details about the situation, We are being coerced to make these changes, and we really have no choice other than to comply or severely modify the operation of our company.

That right there tells you what’s going on, But in such a vague method that it can’t be reported back to the orange goblin.

(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?

I think the government created Facebook, Zuckerberg is a highly intelligent operative with a back story (strangely made into a movie), and I do not think he always chooses his choices. You will never convince me otherwise. Look up Lifelog. The evidence is too convincing. Anyone who gets a 1600 on the SATs gets recruited and he likely got that.

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

His presidential library is just going to be a bunch of fast food restaurant menus.

“The Art of the Deal”

The book Trump has never even read (according to the guy who actually wrote it).

I’m fully expecting tumpty to change the cover of the latter book, slapping his face on it and the title “Mein Trumpf”, keeping the interior intact

It’s probably a human trafficking hub, his friends check out people.

It’s a building with his name on it, I don’t think he cares what it is or does.

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.”

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.

If someone put journalists email in every single email distro, and it stayed there past an upgrade so no one knew who did it, and every single internal memo was simply sent to a news reporter… That would be so damn funny. You know they got email distro’s with thousands of emails… Wouldn’t have been hard todo 2-3 yrs ago…
