Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

This is just current news.
Not "Today, I learned" material.
Should be a 10year rule.
As in "This has been a thing for a decade, but I just learned about it now."
The current news cycle is only reporting the cap raise and attributing it to Meta’s AI CAPEX. Not his personal tax liability and the CA & NM AG lawsuits.
edit absent The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/oct/22/meta-mark-zuckerberg-california-wealth-tax
That doesn't make this the right community. It's still just news
Welp, perhaps we all learned something today.
That's what news means.
thanks Steve
Sure thing
Did Steve tell you that? What’s he got to do with it? What kind of rapping name is steve?
The Guardian hides these kind of stories deep in unless you search for it. Thanks for posting.
It’s insane that the mega rich cannot stand any decrease in wealth for any reason, and hence shield themselves like this.
Remember that some of these people can lose 99% of their wealth and still be billionaires.
His concern is (ostensibly) losing voting shares, and control of the company. I can sympathize with that to a degree, but I know for a fact he doesn’t know 10% of what’s happening in the company he supposedly runs. Consider though - Woz is still occasionally quoted as an authority figure on Apple. It’s hard to separate.
But he’s incomprehensibly wealthy and wants to keep 5%. If I had .001% of his net worth, it would be multigenerational wealth for my family. Fuck him and everyone around him
Meanwhile, infrastructure remains unbuilt.
They rationalize the AI spend on hardware they can't power that will be obsolete by the time they get it online.
Make one think they want to tank the economy for some of that depression era labor exploitation for the next wave of build out...
Conveniently buried in nearly all the coverage aside from the SEC filing which alludes to raising liquidity for Zuckerberg (personally).
How is it called when people are technically correct but still make a fool of themselves because it shows that they can't grasp intent?
lol
