  • There was unease within Fifa at the time of Trump receiving the award with the governing body not disclosing any details of the selection process. Now, though, that has shifted to “deep embarrassment”, according to one senior Fifa source. Multiple officials have expressed their unease of the way it was handled.

    "Selection process"? Come on! Are they taking themselves a little too seriously maybe? It was farce right from the start. Most of the world had a good laugh. It's only FIFA

  • I have noticed people complaining about this. Looks like a normal newbie who, after a few days of browsing, decided to post several comics in quick succession, then nothing again. Not necessarily bot behavior, since they post in the correct community and the comics are relatively funny and do not ptomote anything.

    But then I noticd that there's several such accounts.

    It's a mystery. One that might be solved by looking at the users' IP addresses. I can't, but mods or admins can. So I'm going to trust their judgement.

    Some transparency would be appreciated though.


    Edit: this community has only one mod. I looked at their posting history; they apparently made a web app to make the lives of mods easier. I also read them mention somewhere that they'd have preferred to just remove an offending comment, but the admins decided to ban that person completely. Maybe these are partial answers to the question OP asked.

  • weird emotional appeals

    “I think we’ve done a lot of damage lately with very well-respected people who have painted a doomer narrative, end of the world narrative, science fiction narrative. […] It’s not helpful to people, it’s not helpful to the industry, it’s not helpful to society, it’s not helpful to the governments.”

    “Our viewpoint is that we are trying to help consumers around the world. We’re just doing it through different channels. […] What’s going on right now is that the TAM [ed: Total Addressable Market] and data center is growing just absolutely tremendously. And we want to make sure that, as a company, we help fulfill that TAM as well.”

  • IMHO there's much hobbiness and fun to be had with creating a second or third life for "outdated" hardware. The current RAM crisis leaves me cool, on a 2014 ThinkPad. My kitchen server was a 2008 HP laptop.

  • Probably just laziness or cluelessness on the side of the seller - item sold or they changed their mind but they're unable to remove the ad or even mark it as sold.

  • What does it do? AFAICS the code is the java(pardon,type)script framework for the webpage itself?

    Of course, that too can change. From the current README:

    Everything. Including these rules.

  • Saw this text on a workplace toilet about what women see/think when they look in the mirror, over the course of a lifetime.

    The young ones see a princess, then Cinderella, etc. At some point in the middle ages it's "at least I'm clean", and the last one is "I put on my purple beret and don't give a fuck". Can't wait to get to that stage.

    New material is out: "Mitchell & Webb are not helping", series one was quite good imho - a typical combination of over-the-top silliness and humoristic genius.

  • I don't remember if I ever did this in school, but in hindsight - it's an obvious reaction to almost infinite boredom.

  • I will always love how, in the end, Mitchell deliberately takes a sip of bubbly before saying the most obvious punchline ever and it's still one of the best sketches I've ever seen.

  • 5 day old account by now, posted 4 comics in quick succession after 4 days. In the right sub, no reposts, no agenada. Meanwhile 1 comment, but no more posts. Calm down.

  • Well, it's not exactly brain surgery. And I should know.

  • Honestly, I wonder what is keeping them back? Public opinion? Some surprisingly resistant remnant of checks'n'balances?

    MAGA has been building up to & drooling over this final chapter for... IDK, ever since Jan 2025 I guess.
