Thought for sure this was the US being assholes again, but seems like maybe not this time?

The South African Football Association (Safa) admitted the team had “experienced challenges regarding Visas for some players and officials” but did not give further details. National broadcaster SABC described what happened as an “administrative bungle”.

Cringe for the French to riot after winning without scoring from open play against Arsenal. It wasn’t even an impressive result from PSG, Arsenal just completely choked.

Some sports is news, but most sports is not. Scores aren’t, trivially, but I’d say things like land use policy for stadia and immigration policy changes for international tournaments are. It’s a fine line and I think it’s wise to err on the side of keeping the sports separate, like in !worldcup@lemmy.world , when it’s marginal.

Personally, I’d prefer to keep most coverage quarantined to !worldcup@lemmy.world but I think I’m in the minority here

I would say figuratively any. There are a few websites that build on Chrome-specific web features, but it’s not prohibitively many.

I’m guessing you’re looking for librewolf or waterfox, though I doubt they are strictly lightweight or can browse literally any modern website.

Oh hey, we had one of those once… !simdemocracy@lemmy.world

me: Is that Gretchen from marketing?

my coworker: No, that’s Gretchen Marketing. She’s in sales.

Understandable; over the many years, the community structure has gotten somewhat unkempt and rather unruly, I’ll admit. I think the best solution I’ve seen is regional instances – if you block seattle.pink and social.seattle.wa.us on mastodon, you can really clear up a lot of the Seattle chatter, but there isn’t a regional instance for us to host our communities that you could block easily. Realistically, I’m not sure how much a field would help – you’d still see away games for the Seattle sports teams even if you muted the Seattle geo-tag, for instance, since they would be posted with the geo-tag for the home team.

I’m sorry I just really like Seattle and telling people about how great Seattle is.

I’m sorry your llm scared you, but I don’t think copy-pasting the output to a dozen communities is going to bring you the peace you seek.

Assuming I understand correctly, yes, everyone’s attitude on the instance will always be 100% and cannot change. Hopefully there’s a shortcut server-side that prevents blahaj.zone from having to run through the calculations repeatedly.

Attitude is a measure of how you vote — a person who gives only upvotes has 100% attitude, a user who only gives downvotes has -100% attitude.

Yeah? Been seeing a lot of Jean-Paul Sartre jokes around the internet recently?

I am certain they had no other choice

Paywalls are easy; avoiding surveillance would be extremely difficult.

Sometimes I wonder if we should have a “learn to read” community where we post an article or short stories or excerpts of longer works with some comprehension questions and discuss in the comments. Where discussing what you think about a headline or article is forbidden and only discussion about what it actually says is allowed.

Christian mythology is the Jesus was baptized, or transfigured, or died and was resurrected.

Christian religion is that you must be baptized, or be confirmed, or receive communion.

A funicular, you say?
