thanks Daniel Stenberg!

The first line of my pacman.log file is from 2015. I’ve not had a need to change or reinstall

The cropping I was referring to was on tiktok and threads and what not. “wheres the foul?!” posts where the clip starts after the foul.

While the game was live, it was shown in a replay and I kept saying “I still don’t see it” because I wasn’t sure where to look or when. It was after the game I saw a clip with the foot highlighted before I saw it.

It’s a frustrating call, but a valid call.

here’s a still frame of Spain’s foot on top of Argentina’s.

Spain won and is the better team, so we don’t need to get all worked up about a goal being called back. 2-0 or 1-0, Spain won. Did Argentina overly flop for this? Yeah I’ve never flown into the air crying like that from having my foot stepped on. But also, did he get his foot stepped on? Yes. Is that against the rules? Yes. Was this a valid call to make? Yes.

Biases go both ways, Spanish coverage is naturally going to want this to count. Argentine coverage is naturally going to highlight other plays they disagree on the commentating on. All of the Spanish clips I’ve seen conveniently start AFTER the foot stepping. The play continued for long enough that it was easy to miss (especially if you didn’t go back far enough)

This was a legitimate call. If anything, the bigger referee mistakes were in NOT calling other issues throughout the game.

It wasn’t the goal itself. In the interaction before the goal, before the ball gets to them, Spain steps on Argentina’s foot.

I’m not an expert on the rules but it seemed like stepping on feet is a valid reason to call the play dead

I left out some context. There was a massive controversy that sparked a lot of the “toxic community” claims. Someone showed up with pronouns in their discord display name. A server mod changed that user’s display name on the server so the pronouns were “(who/cares)” … Which vaxry declared “not a big deal” but they made it clear that showing up with pronouns in the server was “politically divisive” and that users who include pronouns are unwelcome.

“LGBT issue” being lumped in with “politics” in his quote is intentional, as his way of being dismissive of it.

Nooo refrigerator-senpai!

I think OP chose a random picture of servers to represent “linux” despite netflix[0] not having anything to do with this. And then cited the first item in the Debian social contract[1]. And then just wildly speculated that because other distros don’t have a social contract, that they might someday start charging money (they won’t they would just as soon stop existing than charge money, but ok).

So in summary… “Computer pictures” + “Debian good” + “Arch not good” in a wild mishmash of nonsense.

Also, to the OP: using a picture clearly labeled as Netflix just to start a conversation about the debian social contract is highly confusing and misleading. No one here has any idea wtf you are talking about.

0: Netflix has published plenty of stuff about how they exclusively use FreeBSD for their CDN https://freebsdfoundation.org/end-user-stories/netflix-case-study/

1: https://www.debian.org/social_contract

https://freebsdfoundation.org/end-user-stories/netflix-case-study/ Netflix. The one that famously uses FreeBSD for their stuff?

Remember ALF? He’s back. In pog form.

You dont want your ISP to know you are downloading linux ISOs though. We should use some sort of code name for it. Like “copyrighted movies”

Don’t know what day this was posted, but that’s the beauty of evergreen material

Rule #1 of shipping code: never be around for the fallout. Do not stick around after clicking deploy.

Brits when you use the word that was invented by Brits for it.

I’ve never gotten any automated locks because I’ve always been concerned about security around them, but also, Ive had too many warped doors in my life where I have to lean on the door to get the deadbolt to properly set. Which means that there is no way an automated lock would be able to automatically set itself.

Is the answer here: “there are just some doors this won’t work on” or do the smart locks have some way of working around that?

“Set and forget” time based thermostat programming only works if your daily routine doesn’t change daily or weekly or have outliers. The ability to change manually, or add other factors (is anyone home? let it get a bit colder, since it doesn’t matter) is pretty great.

But I would still advocate for no internet connected thermostats from the OP. Your thermostat should be isolated to your home network (via zigbee/zwave or a quality VLAN) connecting to a server/hub you control. And your app should be communicating to your server/hub. Your thermostat shouldn’t be able to report back to google whether or not you are home.

If you don’t understand the desire then you don’t have a use case. And that’s ok. But that doesn’t mean other people don’t have a use case.

Properly set up home automation can reduce your energy usage. Track temperature throughout your house and open blinds, only direct heat/cooling to rooms that need it, etc. Sure a thermostat is programmable but it’s limited by the ability to just turn on/off heat and a few temperature sensors. You can drastically expand what your thermostat can do (ie motorized blinds) and information it has access to (temperature outside, current weather, etc).

Or maybe someone is the type to have panic attacks about forgetting to turn the oven off. Having the ability to see oven status on the go is nice.

Or maybe someone has a larger house than you and the journey to the thermostat is more arduous than yours. Or the journey to the dishwasher or clothes dryer to see if it’s done is arduous.

Or maybe someone has a disability and having quick access to various things is a huge time saver.

Maybe someone has a sensory issue and loud buzzing from a dryer finishing is problematic, so they want to disable the “finished” alert from the device and just receive a notification on their phone.

but if youre gathering that much data and making decisions with it, then from the OP “no internet connected thermostats” is a must. None of your smart home stuff should be able to phone home. Basically the openWRT argument but also for smart home. Use zigbee or zwave so devices can’t just directly phone home and must simply connect through a hub (that you should control).

tl;dr - plenty of reasons to want these things, they just may not apply to you.
