Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

We like to think of it as a community platform.

iirc the original ~~copywrite~~ trademark (thanks ripcord) either expired or got purchased, but it's just being used as an NFT platform or something now

They should check what trademarks Apple has allowed to elapse, I could see myself attending a festival called FyreWire.

Trademark, not copyright.

I mean who wouldn't want them back? I for one think about Limwire all time... just thinking - wouldn't it be great if Limewire would just launch some new stuff, maybe sell some colourful shoes, open a lime themed restaurant or maybe even become a hedge fund. Yeah, that would be just great.
