He'll probably be trying to implement a lot of his own technologies using Orb Maths or Circle Theorems

This is exactly what Threads users deserve. When the Twitter Exodus was in full-swing we told them to go to Mastodon (or even Bluesky for fuck's sake) instead of jumping from billionaire to billionaire looking for a social media fix.

They told us it was just personal preference and that platform choice wasn't a big deal. They told us it was easier with their friends and families already on Facebook. They complained that Mastodon URLs (exactly like email) were too hard for their tender little brains.

And now they're on a network overseen by Christofacist tyrants with a technofeudalist billionaire hellbent on destroying the world.

Imagine ending up in that situation in just one short year after leaving X because of Musk. Every last one of them backed the wrong horse, and we can safely call it stupidity. Facebook is basically responsible for Trump, it's not like we didn't already know they were the villains.

I'm ever-vindicated that I never got a Facebook.

Serious question....why isn't the DOJ stepping in and stopping any of this? The FBI? Anyone?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Why would they? They aren't against it.

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

What makes you think decision makers in the DOJ or FBI are against project 2025?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Idk. Hopeium mostly.

I wish I was stupid enough to not have to worry about any of this shit. Agent Smith I want back into the matrix please.

Oh look... the capitalists liberals have been bending over backwards for so many decades is happily marching in lock-step with fascists - again.

If only someone could have predicted this!

Why do far right weirdos always have pinched, squashed little faces??

He definitely looks like a Dustin doesn't he? He definitely looks like the sort of person that would have a podcast and as a result of that podcast is currently been sued by 40 different people.

Real talk, can anyone explain to me why exactly Meta/FB pander to the right this hard? Are the ad dollars/engagement that good?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Capitalism in decay results in the bourgeoisie and petite bourgeoisie collaborating, in an effort to oppress the out group and forcibly "turn the clock back." It's fascism playing out yet again.

psychos tend to be more successful due to their lack of empathy

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

It's easier to be successful if you don't care about trampling over people

Ding ding ding.

He was one of Facebooks first investors.

Also a good friend of Elon. The dude who proclaimed "Fuck Zuck!" as he bought Twitter.

Thiel got his fortune from PayPal. Along with Musk.

Who knew 20 years ago that the nerds who made bank on the dotcom bubble would grow up to be the evil cabal taking over the world?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They were never the nerds though. They were never the ones actually implementing anything, Zuckerberg is probably the most talented out of all of them, they were always just the ones swinging the cash around.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And Zuck used php, literally the worst language known to mankind. It is because of Facebook that php hasn't died the death we were promised.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

PHP was reborn in the 7th version, and it still works very well.

And it's Wordpress' fault, too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

If I ever gain access to a time machine I'm not doing shit to Hitler but I will go back in time and wipe out whoever developed bloody WordPress.

Less regulation means more exploitation

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

You can sell more to people out of fear than people just going about their day/night. The Right is all about selling fear (immigrants/liberals/pedophiles/space lasers/etc.) and then ask for "donations" to help the same folks making this shit up to help line their pockets and looked down on these people as less than. Trump is currently the Rights king, and there isn't a group he has more distain and disgust for than his own base.
