In a 2020 post, Lemmy's co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. "It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.

Great, now do Clarence Thomas and his wife
I wish they were just as outraged about Clarence Thomas and his wife.
On that note I am noticing with growing concern the big push to transition to and rely on technology that is nowhere close to the level of reliability that is being presented. I am not a Luddite in any way but pushing apps everywhere with little regard for functionality and privacy, as well as endless "do you have an app for this?" questions are unnerving. Same with AI.
One of the things Durov lost since becoming a visionary is the ability to wear a shirt.
People who have headhunters lining at the door do not want to be office slaves? Unbelievable.
I like the most recent The Verge variant: Twitter, X, or whatever it’s currently called...
So, do something about it?
Growing donor organs from patient's own cells. So many people die because their bodies reject the transplants.
"Hours later, Linda Yaccarino, X’s chief executive, tried to mitigate the damage. In a post on X, she shifted attention to Mr. Musk’s apology for associating himself with antisemitism and appealed to advertisers to return.
“X is enabling an information independence that is uncomfortable for some people,” Ms. Yaccarino wrote. “X is standing at a unique and amazing intersection of Free Speech and Main Street — and the X community is powerful and here to welcome you.”
It's called information independence y'all, look it up. Kinda like alternative facts but better.
Who?
I thought you were talking about age...
No, it's common practice now, not just for those who has been imprisoned for years but for fresh convicts too - they are offered draft instead of imprisonment right after conviction.
I was born in USSR and it collapsed when I was seven so my memories of it were at the very end when things were tough and scarce. I remember school books that were still about Lenin and Stalin, and we would write essays about Labor day parades and red hammer-and-sickle flags during our English classes, it sounded funny even for us first graders.
Yet, whatever little was available was cheap, we would have deficit problems but not financial ones unless you were trying to buy something that was smuggled into the country, like jeans.
We would take flights to Kazakhstan where my grandma lived, no borders no visas obviously. They lived on their own land there and were much better off in terms of food availability (Google USSR deficit to see what stores looked like).
Then we reached the point when food stamps had to be distributed and it was outright scary. I remember standing by our front door crying, because my mom gave me a bread stamp and sent me to get some bread, and I lost the stamp on the way and couldn't bring myself to go back home. Eventually I was absent long enough for her to start worrying and she opened the door to go out and found me there sobbing.
When I had my first job as a receptionist, our fax still printed on thermal paper rolls and we had a particularly bright customer fax us a 50 page contract. I was almost in tears as I watched a newly replaced very expensive roll getting wasted in minutes. I called my supervisor to vent and he walked to my desk with a sharpie, wrote IMCOMPLETE across the roll and said "fax it back to them". They were calling us back in less than a minute screeching on the phone to stop transmission.
It's 2024 and we're still looking into other people's pants.
What a coincidence.
Had. Poor thing died of starvation.
Do eeeeet!
Napster
I was just thinking the exact same thing the other day. Dude needs to take his meds.
Mine is a textbook example of a self inflicted knife wound that involved separating frozen burger patties with a very sharp knife. Knife slides between the patties and into the palm of my hand. I managed to not pass out and make it to urgent care where they stitched the cut together. Still have some nerve damage. Don't do stupid things with sharp knives kids.
Context: SBF is limited to PBJ sandwiches and water because jail won't accommodate his vegan diet.
I'm sure housing will be super affordable for all those service industry workers that will be needed to keep this place running. /s
There's an easy(ish) way to clean one. Put about 1-1.5 cups of water into a microwave safe bowl or glass (I use Pyrex measuring cup) and microwave it for about 10+ minutes. Let the water boil really good and the hot steam will soften all the crap on the inside of the microwave. Get the cup out carefully, wipe the inside with a wet cloth, maybe spray some cleaner if oily and you're done.
Bill Ackman, a billionaire who took active part in ousting Harward president Claudine Gay for plagiarism and then lost his shit when it transpired shortly afterwards that his wife plagiarized her dissertation.
I do not endorse limiting food for jailed folks but I find it ironic that the person that was on drugs/stimulants all the time is so attentive to their diet.
Space lasers incoming.
Leaving tip at the counter or for take out food is just incomprehensible to me. It's like tipping a grocery store clerk at check out when you are paying for your groceries. I bought this food already, what am I leaving a tip for?
That's exactly what the consultants are for and hiring them is an easy, low-cost (in the grand scheme of things) way of shifting responsibility aka "I don't want to do any decision making that may and will be detrimental to the company so I will hire an "expert" to do it for me".
Klein might as well run for president along with the pool of candidates he's proposing as a replacement, none of this I doable in the next 5 months.
That's the best part of it, if the president is ruled absolutely immune, they can override anything including the supreme court, break any law, commit any crime. Biden could imprison Trump for life. I'm sure Trump knows this but he's desperate.
Proper sleep and exercise, yoga in particular, is what helps me. When I'm dead tired and my back hurts I'll get mad at everything too.
I'm very biased ofc but the shift was very noticeable. One day he took the shirt off and never put it back on.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Leaving tip at the counter or for take out food is just incomprehensible to me. It's like tipping a grocery store clerk at check out when you are paying for your groceries. I bought this food already, what am I leaving a tip for?
Dude all you do is shit on Biden, and you find all sorts of dubious sources to do so. Are you sure you are left leaning?
Iirc he believes that it's his duty to procreate and produce as many white people as possible to prevent replacement.
IYKYK. Took me forever to memorize, I had to look it up every time I came across it and no way I'll ever say it aloud.
Temu is absolute cancer in terms of business practices so no surprise here at all.
