Must be a bummer to be the CEO of one of the most privacy-invasive companies in the world and have one's privacy constantly invaded, eh?

spoilerThat's gotta be the the riskiest of clicks I've ever done.

Thank god voyager previews image links.

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago

Unless you're on Voyager, in which case the image is already displayed before you click!

A bit of a bummer that there is a loginwall. It says free registered users can read this but I'm tired of giving my email and privacy away.

I understand that they need revenue, but posting this on Lemmy without the text or an archived link to full post is just asking for --I read only the title and am gonna form opinions--

Thanks for that link! I love that they put a whole article up explaining why. Quite transparent.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

For what it's worth after I gave them my email, either they didn't send me anything, or they did but they honored my unsubscribe request, and I can read all the articles.

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I use a specific email account just for these logins. And a password manager.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago

Very good practices and yeah password manager is a must!

I do also have a throwaway email and I really appreciate people posting news to lemmy, don't get me wrong, but making an account to every news site appearing on lemmy and logging in everytime (because of clearing browser cookies / sessions) is a bit tedious.

Not saying this needs to change (it is my laziness in the end) and again, really appreciate people posting on lemmy. Just wanted to comment out my frustrations about the loginwall.

I create new emails on the fly with 33mail.com, using the website's domain as in lemmy@.33mail.com

[–] opdua@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

I use Proton's SimpleLogin which is very handy for things like this. I used to use DuckDuckGo's Email Protection which is free. SimpleLogin is however more powerful imo.

Both services allow you to just create a new email address whenever you need one and it forwards to your real one.

Maybe he should consider being under constant surveillance, so we can ensure his best behavior

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 26 points 3 months ago

Now that’s a properly meta headline. Are you sure this wasn’t written by The Onion?

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Zuck is old... I hope he takes on special DNA based facial treatments and gets cancer of the face instead. Lots of billionaires are doing it! Like besos wife, she's got a mouth big enough to park a Tesla truck into.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Maybe these billionaires should be required to actually raise their own children for a few years. Anyone who has knows that you can't make a person care about something just by telling them it is important. They have to want to care about it on thier own. With how he treats his employees, they have no real reason to care about what's important to him.

It looks like some of the spray tan rubbed off on him while he was sucking off tRumpy.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

More like Cuckerberg

Why would this be nottheonion?

If meetings being leaked became so much of a problem that he would talk about it in a meeting, it wouldnt be unlikely that that meeting got leaked too

[–] wingsfortheirsmiles@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, not quite what I wanted to get across. Leopardsatemyface might be more suitable!
