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, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

They always find pictures where he just.looks.like a criminal and it's amazing every time.

I'm just curious, how did you miss that? 😅 It was the biggest story in tech like 6 months ago

I knew they kicked him and something about Microsoft, but I lost track there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was like the next morning they had hired him back and started pretending it never happened. I think MS threatened to shut them down and take what they’d paid for.

After the employees sent around a letter talking about their market position as what was, in theory, a nonprofit, and Lemmy licked that bullshit up with a fervor.
