Facebook is now...Meta

[Luisa Land]

They are not, in any sense of the word. They are a private currency, but they are logged and traded in a conventional centralized database.

yes, you are right

 

[WolfEyes]

Now that is a term I really hate.

Why? Don't you miss having someone yell at you to get off the internet so they can use the phone?

Sure, but my mom had no idea why I was on the phone and the computer at the same time. When she needed to call her sister, she'd yell for me to talk to my friends at school. Little did she know...that's what I already did.

My mom knew. She was the one always online. Then she'd get mad at us for always being online when she would try to call.

I knew people that had party lines. I'm glad I never had to have one. No privacy at all!

My boss in the '90s had a party line. Everyone else on the line was long gone but she remained grandfathered in. It was essentially a regular line for cheap.

This was well before the 90s. This was the 50s and 60s.

I don't think so... I think he's just a goofy looking dude who was nervous out of his wits when making this. This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I often feel sorry for Zuckerberg. I feel like there is no way he's a happy guy. I mean sure, he's rich and all, but having tons of money beyond your basic needs doesn't necessarily make you happier. He's outrageously hated and never established a cult of admirers like Elon Musk has... even though Elon Musk is just as much of a douche...

I'm not saying Zuckerberg never fucked anything up, but I do think he is in a situation where anything he does will make people hate him more. Much of the country hates him for allowing misinformation to spread AND censoring people at the same time...

He can be a goofy dude and a douche. Don't forget how Facebook started. From Britannica.com :

It began at Harvard University in 2003 as Facemash, an online service for students to judge the attractiveness of their fellow students. Because the primary developer, Zuckerberg, violated university policy in acquiring resources for the service, it was shut down after two days.

Rating the attractiveness of their fellow (read : female) students?
Objectifying and almost certainly belittling then.
Seems pretty douche-y to me.

Breaking his company up into smaller ones of more normal size would be a start to less hating.

Mark Zuckerberg’s wife tries to clean up his image — good luck with that

Now that the Facebook Papers reveal what we’ve long suspected — Mark Zuckerberg is Satan — the roll-out of fuzzy, friendly, family-man Zuck began in earnest last weekend.

I strongly agree! Facebook needs to be broken up like the phone company. ...probably google too.

Personally, I look at the Meta logo and see a depressed infinity symbol.
