World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He did make them tens of billions of dollars. I think that from a purely financial standpoint, she probably did pretty well.
Money doesn't always (or maybe even usually) give a person purpose or satisfaction in life. We don't know if she wanted to keep her job or was passionate about it or not, but if she did and she was, simply making lots of money doesn't always fill that void. Money doesn't buy happiness, but sometimes it pushes you into unhappiness just as effectively as lack of money does. Financial success is only one facet of feeling like you're successful. Some people might be completely happy living a domestic life to a rich man, but not everyone, and we probably shouldn't assume that it's one way or the other for Jensen's wife.

I think it is fitting coming from him because he lived that and saw how hollow it can be. Also explains why he went down the whole anti-vax route for a while desperately trying to find a purpose.
Fascinating. As someone who also has lifelong depression, that perspective from him is valuable.
Lifelong depression cohort assemble! But seriously, it is an odd existence. I dont dislike it, I dont like it, don't know anything else.
It is the one thing that has humanized him from beyond the camera.
She’s about to do a lot better in the divorce proceedings lololol
As someone in academia, being able to pursuing my own adventure and development is very important to me.
I would be incredibly unhappy to have to give that up.
And it's not like you can take an 18 year break and go back into it. Your knowledge is outdated.
If you aren't actively working in the field, you quickly become obsolete.
So giving it up once is giving it up forever.
I can appreciate this, however let's keep in mind that whether she divorces him or not, she has access to literally TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. She could start an entire university or research lab dedicated to whatever her interests are. Being outdated in a field is a little less relevant when you can hire an army of PhDs and grad students to get you back up to speed.
I'm not saying your point isn't valid, because it totally is a real concern that normal people have to wrestle with. I am saying that when one goes from working class to having access to essentially the GDP of a state, it's harder to make the argument that one wasted their life on a marriage that didn't pan out.
There is more to life than money
