of course the android wears a shirt with latin phrases.

"The king is dead, long live the king".

Or: Same shit, different wrapping.

Why is he doing that? Is he competing with Elon Musk on stupidity?

That's all well and good, but the problem remains: Namely, the fact that Meta earns far more every day than all companies worldwide earn from the sale of T-shirts put together - much, much more. And Meta pretty much doesn't even sell anything physical (Oculus, c'mon). They mainly just sell massive reach for advertisements and PR (influencing opinions). In addition they sell, the personal data of users to make that work devilishly acuarate. As long as the vast majority doesn't care how this business model works and what power the centralization of attention actually means even for their own reality, nothing will change, I'm afraid.

I mean why is this surprising? Custom domains are a very niche thing; the majority of people don't know or don't care.

I swear there really are two types of people who learn latin…

I'm going to state an unpopular opinion. Bluesky should have ads, not a personalized ads that track users, but just simple ones at the very top of the feed. Consumers today are too addicted to free services, and companies need to be financially independent so that they can support a quality product.

I bet that if you tell Markie that Caesar was a probably bisexual man affected by mini-strokes and/or epilepsy, he would make those t-shirts disappear in a minute.

Ignorance is bliss.
