After the correction, I have no answer for you. “Thelmoious” returns zero web search results. No one here has ever heard this name or seen this spelling before you posted this question. I assumed it was a typo.

I feel like I’m having a seizure reading this. Please fix the spelling of what you are trying to ask.

Thelonious Sphere Monk was born on October 10, 1917, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, the son of Thelonious (or Thelious) and Barbara Monk. His sister, Marion, had been born two years earlier. His birth certificate spelled his first name as “Thelious” and did not list his middle name, taken from his maternal grandfather, Sphere Batts.

I appreciate it. I have some experience modding here, but not in a community like this, which has the potential to bring our the worst in people! I set rules that should be broad enough to do exactly that. I have high hopes, and it fills a need.

I hope not… but I really don’t know!

There is now an Actually Infuriating community on Lemmy! Post things that are beyond just mildly infuriating. It’s only mildly infuriating that someone didn’t make this sooner!

That assumes national borders mean anything to this class. They travel by private plane and go directly from the tarmac to the car. They don’t even need passports.

You’re free to post them here. Here’s one to get you started.

No that’s just hip marketing. There is one instance (and technically a way to host personal data that nonetheless requires creating an account through the main service). The code is open though.

If anyone is interested in decentralized micro-blogging, there is Mastodon, and if you are interested in short form video there is Loops.

Loops is not yet decentralized, but it is based on ActivityPub and planned for open-sourcing and federation after Beta testing. The creator is an established developer in the community, so the claim seems credible.

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.

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.
