Tied to can have a very loose definition when it comes to making headlines.
That said, I have no doubt that the lawyers and courts have plenty of interest in finding a way to keep the show in his hands somehow.
Here's a bet that it's another of those TikTok charades like where they had people make reports on the abortion narc lines or such. Throw enough bullshit out there and it at least frustrates someone and possibly makes a point. In this case just getting enough people to download an alternate app was enough to have someone write a story that might make a few people realize how futile it is to try and block a massively popular app.
So I can't help but assume this is some kind of Stephen Colbert style satire character. The problem here on Lemmy is there are so many legitimately over the top people that it runs into the need for /S everywhere.
Don't know about them but I did once work with an old hippie lady who never had a car, credit card, anything like that. Story was at one point she was helping a friend get a loan and the bank asked how she could co-sign with no credit. She called her bank (was several years back) and had them read off her balance. Had well into the 6 figures just sitting in an account since she never spent on anything. Was the type that rolled her own cigarettes by hand and such.
Once again the timing of the feeds makes for great irony...
Minor details, the FEMA folks just need to toughen up and bring kevlar next time /s
Persecution complex always at the ready. I did see one story where some segment of them had been told to avoid places with lots of Trump signs, but the reason was for the worker safety because of the hostility by the right wing. So basically in that case they created a self fulfilling prophecy.
It's a sad state of affairs that this kind of news is so unsurprising, but if Democrats said screw the people in Florida who got flattened by a hurricane it'd be the story of the month...
A absolute realtime list is pretty well impossible since first a new one would have to be noticed by other peers, but this is a decent site to search through.
You think the company doesn't have the ability to curate the notes allowed by the community or to farm their own? It's always possible for a site owner to shape the messages on the site, even if it comes to a point of direct database manipulation.
Little free digital libraries if you like. It'd be possible to do once the DRM is gone, if only there was a platform that made selling without the locks a major part of the pitch...
Functionally though it is possible, ebook lending exists already, but from what I gather proper libraries pay some sizable fee for the right to do so. There's no reason other digital media couldn't do the same.
