Nah I’m sorry I think this is bullshit. Obviously warming up with a ball can be important for performance reasons, but in terms of injury prevention they just need to move around a bit and stay warm. No one’s stopping them from doing some quick drills while they wait.

You can dislike the waiting around for other reasons if you want, but you can’t have players standing around doing nothing, and then blaming var when they get cold

I think it’s just a mistake in the graphic. F1 app has him 11th, ahead of Ocon

How many managers can say their last match before getting sacked was winning a World Cup?

I have no ill will towards any of the Spain players, even less now seeing how impressive their World Cup was, but this is exactly the reason I was rooting against them. Vilda and the federation behind him have been an absolute disgrace, and I didn’t want to see it all pay off for them

The call on the field was no pen, and VAR just upheld the decision. But even if it had been called initially, there was barely any contact at all, and Partey was moving out of the way. It was never a pen, and I really don’t know why you’re arguing the point like this

Facebook did the same thing years ago, it’s part of the enshittification cycle. When you post a link to another site, you’re directing traffic away from twitter and it’s advertisers, so Elon would much prefer that you be forced to post the entire article so that no one ever has to leave twitter and give their ad revenue to anyone else.

Obviously no one would agree to this if it was happening from the start, but once your platform has a stranglehold on everyone, you can start tightening the noose like this. Everyone hates it, but people feel like they have nowhere else to go, so they put up with it. Or at least that’s what twitter’s betting on

My strategy on Reddit, which worked very well there but I’ve been too lazy so far to recreate here, was to create separate accounts. I had one account that just followed f1 stuff, and another one that followed all my general content and had all the f1 subs explicitly blocked. That way I have to actively choose to switch over to my f1 account if I want to see f1 content, which I just wouldn’t do until I’d seen the race.

A lot of the lemmy apps, like voyager and Memmy, already have good support for account switching, so I highly recommend this strategy if watching the race later is a regular occurrence for you. I’m sure eventually I’ll bother to do this myself.

Alternatively, whenever the analogous multireddit feature gets implemented in lemmy, that could allow you to do effectively the same thing with one account. But not yet, unfortunately.

“This public service is too effective and is apparently something a huge number of people are interested in using. Gotta put an end to that.”

Akthually, Betamax and betacam were completely unrelated standards. Betamax was the failed vhs competitor, with good quality but an unusably short recording length, and betacam was the unrelated standard that enjoyed a long and successful run in the professional world.

Technology connections has a few videos on the subject, but this one is probably the most relevant: https://youtu.be/hGVVAQVdEOs
