안녕하세요!
I work at Meta. They’ll spend 1/10,000th of that on lawyers and lobbying instead. There’s a zero point zero percent change that even a fraction of this gets paid.
And the states suing know that too - it’s just politicians trying to grab headlines.
Generous to say Bazzite installation takes 20 minutes
Even more generous to say a Windows update takes 5 minutes
It’s not just Israel refusing to pull troops back, they literally had a “round of strikes” according the Barrons

I mean I think comparing Zuck to Hitler is a stretch, but also consider that Hitler would be a lot more limited if his soldiers knew what was going on and were morally concious
But yea I do it for the money. I make over 5x the salary compared to my previous job
(Blind is an anonymous shitposting board where people can only see the company you work for, not your name)
Meta employee here. People here are so entitled. I knew what I signed up for, but it seems many of my colleagues were/are oblivious
I mean it’s the same thing when you confront Republicans about it. Both parties have supporters who just want to support that party, and any logic against that gets them in defense mode
You don’t take vacation days to work without meetings?
I guess the people with an actual life, are the ones that are born wealthy, or studied to do an easy-going job […] it is punishment for not being a good student in childhood
Yup, this is me. Both my parents were software engineers, I grew up top 1% wealth in Canada. Went to a decent university (covered by my parents), job hopped a few times, salary kept going up and the work kept going easier.
I still grinded my ass off along the way (first job took me 700 applications, I spent nights and weekends studying for my next interviews instead of going out with friends), but I still wouldn’t be here without nepotism and family wealth that they used to support me.
While there is some guilt that other people who worked harder couldn’t get to where I am, that doesn’t mean I’m going to waste the opportunity.
Even a generous read of this article fails to prove that Ríhanna’s case was influenced by the fact she is trans. The article gives many anecdotes of minorities, and claims they are disproportionately negatively impacted in the courts, but 1/ doesn’t provide the data to support that, and 2/ doesn’t go into details on the judgement in this case (and the omission leads me to believe they probably aren’t in Ríhanna’s favor)
Valve allegedly threatened to delist all editions of Rainbow Six Siege after Ubisoft offered a cheaper option on its Uplay store.
Similar tactics to Amazon
Even if the semantic you’re drawing wasn’t completely stupid (it is), the advertising arm would benefit a lot from aligning itself with the voter base
He’s also streaming on Bluesky
The series will also be available live on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and Bluesky.
Would it kill Lemmies to read the article
The client does, AKA your phone
I work at Meta and interface with WhatsApp enough to know a couple things. First of all, data is encrypted at rest; that’s not even a WhatsApp thing, that’s literally how our infra works (it’s actually an efficiency thing, since deletions requires only deleting the key). So the “source” of the article saying
“Meta can and does view and store all the text messages, photographs, audio and video recordings” in an unencrypted format.
Is either lying or wrong.
Second of all, the encryption is legit. The only time “Meta employees” and “Contractors” are seeing your message content is when someone reports your message; because the person reporting it is sending a decrypted copy.
It may be true that there is some sort of device-level backdoor on your phone, or possibly that there’s a remote switch of some sort to send a second copy of the message in decrypted format for some targets, but I have not heard or seen this.
Fyi I use Signal and not WhatsApp, but in general I don’t think this article holds much weight
Yes officer, this one right here
Also it’s generally understood that these lawsuits are just ways for countries to get money from Meta, since it looks a lot better than saying you’re taxing the social media giants
