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.

Common dreams is agitprop trash.

It got better.

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

Where is the button to report unsee this?

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!”

Amazon is also an arrow that points from A to Z.

Remember, they used to be a bookstore.

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.

Mod: The context was unfortunate but it appears to be sincere and it is absolutely appropriate to post hotline information in a thread discussing a death by suicide.

I like it but I really think we spend too much time explaining the home instance. We should put a lot less emphasis on it because it’s stressful to people. Just invite them to join your home instance and they can change in the future if they want.

I remember this - so weird. The owner claimed that it was just one “ingredient” that they used lol
