How far gone do you have to be that paperwork is an existential crisis? Nobody really likes paperwork, but you don’t have to traumatize yourself.

I always like to remind people that Star Trek includes the first ever interracial kiss between a black and white person on TV.

It’s always been “woke.”

Ditty was already booked?

King Friday is a despot with no honor!

Hey, look! Everything is great in Texas!

Right?

You know what, no one correct me. It’s embarassing enough living here.

American hostages Sagui Dekel-Chen and Keith Siegel are alive and expected to be released in the first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, a senior administration official said.

The first phase would see the release of women, children, elderly and wounded hostages.

MOD: In light of reports related to homeopathy:

There is a studied and demonstrated harm associated with homeopathy. However, claims made in ignorance of this will not be removed as misinformation at this time.

Here’s a related question… Why is Elon Musk demanding a massive cash salary from the board rather than typical CEO compensation of stock and performance bonuses?

Likely, he understands that the company is massively overvalued due to his hype machine. He is cashing out before it fails.

As a plus, by manufacturing animosity between himself and the board, he is preloading the ammunition for when the company fails and discards him. When he leaves, the hype machine leaves with him. The stock will “crash” which really means returning to a sane market valuation. He can easily claim that the failure was due to the board interfering with his genius. The board members either know this, or are his lackies (or both). They will ride the wave along with him as long as they can.

In essence, we are witnessing the largest pump and dump scheme in history, and it is being done in the open.

“I’m mad at this decisive step in the right direction.”

Common dreams is agitprop trash.

I’m not a programmer, but I don’t think I’d pay for code that was 95% accurate. That sounds buggy af

94. It’s 98 if you include the ones kidnapped before October 7. They include citizens of the US, UK, Thailand, Argentina, Nepal, and Serbia, as well as tender age children.

“Sorry, cough cough. I’m just feeling too gay to come into work today. It’s a bad case - I think it might be catching!”

Not the same guy and it’s from 2014.

Maybe you should examine whether it makes sense to silence Jewish voices on the anniversary of a Jewish massacre because of a decade-old blog post that wasn’t even written by the person quoted.

Boy, we sure didn’t have to wait long for someone to show up and blame Israel for a French person terrorizing French Jews in Jewish spaces on the anniversary of a French terrorist killing and injuring French Jews. Predictable and tiring, but still pretty disappointing.

Lemmy does have the capability and some instances use it. I’m not exactly sure how it works.

Please report any rule breaking behaviour. We cannot see everything.

A default instance is not ideal, but adding a barrier to joining is counterproductive. If someone has an interest in a specific area, they should be directed to join programming.dev or slrpnk.net etc. If they want a general purpose instance, then they should just be assigned a default.

Personally, I started the signup multiple times because there are hundreds of servers and if you haven’t already used the platform it’s impossible to know what you need.

Anyway, more than promoting Lemmy as a platform, we should be promoting Lemmy content. Mostly it is publicly visible without an account, and if someone sees Lemmy links 5-10 times, they may start wondering what they are missing out on.
