Your comment implies the youth refs are the exception, but the VAST majority of play are at these lower competitive levels, and it is FAR more common to have youth or inexperienced refs than otherwise.

The ref is impartial and their only job is to manage the game according to law. If a team's fans are misbehaving to the point the game must be abandoned, it doesn't matter one iota to the ref if those fans are tanking on purpose.

I doubt many refs want this responsibility, even if it were feasible. And I don't think it is feasible in most cases. For instance, how is the ref going to pick out the problem fans while also managing the game itself? And how is the r

From my experience, the refs typically assign responsibility to the head coach of the team the fans represent. It's not the refs job to manage the fans. They are there to manage the game. If the coach or staff determine the problem fan

That's interesting. I've noticed similar things on youtube. It seems like by blocking most of the tracking, it automatically falls back to AI slop and wellness gurus. I've tried watching some of these ads out of curiosity and

Presumably these ads are targeted using the algorithm. Thought crime is scary and all that, but it's an interesting part of this system to consider. And then there's the question of these images living in your cache if you happene

I assumed from watching the video, the device is processing the audio locally and transmitting the results - text rather than audio.

I can also recommend Wholphin if it is available (and you are the type of person who actually allows your TV to connect to a network). It's much faster than the official(?) jellyfin android client.

I disagree with the assertion that Valve is responsible for the death of physical game copies. First off, console games have gradually moved away from offering physical copies for years. This had the (probably deliberate) effect of killing

I also enjoyed wrapped, but at some point they made it only viewable in the app. It was previously available in the browser. That was the last time I thought about it.

The number of times I boarded an airplane to find my offline song list empty... I had to completely stop relying on it.

It's objectively really bad at a lot things. I've always had the feeling that the music is not even a primary feature of their product. The last time I used it, I uninstalled once I realized that my kids could watch Logan Paul You

I just want something that I can use to record notes, with good backups, and a format that doesn't lock me in. Obsidian offers that. It has a pretty decent mobile app and desktop app, in terms of the actual editing. And if I do want to

New Reddit is too. They were A/B testing it for a while, but now you can't use it without the login pop-up after a short timespan. The funny thing is, it has nothing to do with how much content you view. So if you really want to r

Changing email providers sounds daunting, but it was relatively painless when I actually committed to it. I did a search over my password manager for my old email and just went through the list logging in and switching to the new email. Pro

Hmm. My company has an internal portal for generating Gemini API keys. I select a project from a drop down, enter a name, and press okay.

Yes you can see most of your data without a cloud connection. But some features are limited and require the subscription. A google account is required though to use the app I believe. Of course, getting more than a snapshot of the data is a

It looks like the screenshot was an actual photo of someone's monitor. I'm left wondering why print screen wasn't utilized. And for some reason it really makes me not want to touch this project.

Okay... but when "you" is a junior engineer on your team and now you are suddenly spending your entire weekend dealing with malware, it's kinda on you as well.

Oh yeah that's a good point - two layers of auto executing scripts/binaries.

This doesn't require anyone placing anything deliberately on your machine (as in, needing to exploit it somehow ahead of time). It could be as simple as checking out a branch to review, where the author of the branch has added the .exe

A lot of malware was delivered back in the day via Windows AutoPlay feature. Someone plugs a USB drive in and bam, they are immediately exploited. You could say it's always a problem if the USB drive is already full of malware. However

It has nothing to do with npm. However, a binary could be configured to extract your git/npm secrets using this exploit, which could then lead to a npm supply chain attack (or pip, etc. etc.).

Joe Arpaio was not removed from office. He was charged with contempt but was never incarcerated. He was pardoned and then lost his next election.

That might be a loophole, but in this case I don't think it matters. The emergency powers let the president do whatever they want at this point. And even if there is a law preventing endless war, Congress is completely fine with it, an

Right, I'm thinking along the same lines as what Zoom offers. Except with the additional feature that the link is custom tailored to a known, pre-configured user. So you also skip the "log in as guest or create an account" st

What would be really awesome is some sort of feature where, once self hosted, I can generate a package or link that will download + install + pre-configure the login. Basically a bespoke installer/setup script. that can be linked to a

There is an audience for this, and it's me and my friends. I have a small group of close friends. We are on discord just about every day, but we really don't bother with anyone outside our group, other than the very occasional inv
