He’s rich not because of his salary (what Reddit pays him). He’s rich because of his equity/ownership in Reddit. But he can only monetize that if there are buyers.

For years this wasn’t a problem because private buyers and banks were happy to buy his shares or lend against them as collateral. However that market has been drying up over the past 18 months.

So he desperately needs to get to an IPO so he, and his Board of Directors and other stockholders, can dump their shares on an unsuspecting retail public market that doesn’t realize that the “profitability” was only achieved by destroying the user base, and that what they’ve actually bought is a ticking time bomb.

…there’s an inside. It’s a concert venue. They make money by selling people tickets to shows.

Build the trains, assholes.

It’s the Ruth/DiMaggio dog joke from Looney Tunes.

Headline is wrong. The article makes it clear that it’s in exchange for prisoners in Israeli jails PLUS a truce.

Last week there was an effort from the Qatari brothers to release the enemy captives from women and children, in return for the release of 200 Palestinian children and 75 women detained by the enemy" Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for the armed wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, said in an audio recording posted on the group's Telegram channel.

"The truce should include a complete ceasefire and allow aid and humanitarian relief everywhere in the Gaza Strip," he said.

Remember, this was way before Windows.

it’s 1994

Windows 3.1 came out in 1992. Yes you still were in DOS a lot back then, but it was hardly “way before windows”.

Speaking of just hunting for random stuff in DOS, my personal favorite “what’s this?” in DOS was Gorillas.bas https://en.wikipedia.org/...

There are no Starlinks in Gaza. And there won’t be so long as the war is going on. But Elon can’t let something happen in the world without trying to make it about him.

Stupid news orgs continue to lap up his verbal diarrhea.

Should I shop at the Target, Wal-Mart or the CVS instead?

There are no “local” stores near me. Just massive corporations who treat their employees like shit. Costco is the exception to the treating-their-employees-like-shit rule, but sometimes I don’t need a lifetime supply of an item.

On October 7, Hamas (as well as random Gazan “civilians”) murdered hundreds of Israeli civilians in their homes (including children), raped women and took hundreds of hostages…but THIS is fake?

Hamas then sold the three kidnapped Bibas family members (a 9 month old, a 4 year old, and their mother) to the PFLP after the kidnapping. Hamas has said that there will be three dead bodies returned today as part of the swap. And yet you think this is “fake”?

So let me tell you about Ralph Nader in 2000…

...the hostage's statements after 8 weeks in captivity is not enough for you? What would satisfy you?

The claim isn't "Lasers shot out of his eyes" or something sensational. The claim is "My jailer was a teacher with 10 kids who is paid by the United Nations in his dayjob." Why does that statement require extraordinary levels of proof?

It’s Huntington Beach. The parents are probably shitstains on society’s underwear.

I switched from Chrome to Edge and initially was really impressed. But then Microsoft had to go and Bing it all up. So now it’s back to Firefox after a 15 year hiatus.

I’m impressed you can type so well while you’re busy jerking Elon off.

Never heard of this guy before your post. He is a YouTuber who may have done time for human smuggling? Why would he be a better reporter than the actual news orgs on the ground?

In short, a toxic stew of Christian millenarianism and realpolitik containment of the Soviet Union.

…how…how do you post on Lemmy?

If you get three lemons then you get to have a Lemon Party!

Don’t touch Willy. Good advice.
