It’s also possible that some details don’t render unless you are close enough to see it, and so it won’t take up much space
32·19 hours agoIt seems like these articles came out after the huggingface ones
Sounds like they got caught trying to steal from huggingface, and are now trying to market off of it
1·22 hours agoThe article does make note of that. The concern they bring up isn’t the node itself, but that some regions might be installing equipment on those nodes without public consultation:
If you already care about what Flock cameras collect, NEMA nodes deserve more scrutiny - because they don’t require a ribbon-cutting ceremony to get cameras added later. The standardized interface means capabilities can be upgraded or swapped in during routine maintenance, with no new hardware footprint announcing the change. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) deployments extend this further, pulling in vehicle telemetry from roadside units and connected cars. Specific regulatory frameworks governing data collected by these nodes remain limited and inconsistent across jurisdictions, much like those exposed when secretly tracking users without meaningful oversight.
So it’s not the node that is the problem, but putting in rules about how they can be used.
I would have expected people to be more angry at the US’s actions than Argentina’s.

During the 2026 World Cup, FIFA suspended the implementation of a one-game suspension that United States men’s national soccer team player Folarin Balogun had received after he was sent off in a round of 32 match victory against the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team for a foul on Tarik Muharemović. Balogun’s suspension was delayed for a probationary period of one year under the Article 27 authority of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. United States president Donald Trump had directly called FIFA president Gianni Infantino asking him to review the red card decision. The decision allowed Balogun to participate in the United States’ Round of 16 match against Belgium despite the red card remaining in effect. Belgium won the match 4–1, with Balogun playing almost the entire match

Another controversy, similar to when the events were hosted in Russia and Qatar, involves host countries immigration policies. The controversy during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, United States immigration and visa policies under the second Trump administration, which have affected players, officials, journalists, and fans from several qualified nations. A travel ban affecting citizens of 39 countries—including World Cup participants Haiti, Iran, Ivory Coast, and Senegal—has prevented most ordinary fans from those countries from obtaining visas to attend matches in the United States, though exemptions were granted for athletes, coaches, and essential support staff, as well as dual citizens, permanent residents, and valid visa holders. A separate visa bond program initially required fans from five African nations to pay deposits of up to $15,000, a requirement that was temporarily suspended in May 2026 for ticketed fans. Iraqi striker Aymen Hussein was detained for seven hours upon arrival at O’Hare International Airport, while Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entry and was unable to officiate at the tournament.
A lot of bad ones out there, but some are worse than others. For example, I’m not going to consider a Samsung TV because of how many times they’ve done something sketchy
LG is also falling down the list with this incident
I’m not sure to be honest, I think it might be to show up on search engine results. If that is the case, maybe there is a way to disincentivize them from doing that
That only works for people who are higher up in their field of work, since they can pick and choose who they work for
Most people going for junior/entry level roles don’t have that luxury
- Pixelfed for sharing public content
- Signal (or a similar messaging platform) for private stories / content intended for specific people
A “private” instagram account or story was never actually private, but that distinction is still helpful when recommending alternatives IMO
Then you can use something like libredirect with kittygram to view any Instagram only content in a privacy respecting way, like if you open a link
The mod in [email protected] has done a good job of updating the rules to deal with those. It seems like some SEO or supply chain scheme.
The ones mentioned in OP seem to be one user that is spreading their questions around multiple accounts, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if they’re posted at a rate that would be fine with a single account, and if they aren’t using more than one account in a particular thread.
From what I remember about the deletion pattern, one of the accounts claimed to be doing it for mental health reasons. Whether that is true or not, to me it felt like they were creating bait posts to rile people up. People saw through it most of the time
We do have bots, but at least some of the weird activity mentioned in this post seems to be from a handful of real people that are using the platform in a weird way
0·7 days agoThis is actually a pretty interesting video, I think the clickbait title killed the post.
This community does allow you to modify the title, may I suggest something like “How space control can help a player score in a football game, with data analysis and visualizations”

The distro has a lot of desktop environment options in general
CachyOS is pretty popular right now :)
Each instance is run by a different team, often based in different countries and jurisdictions. Day to day, the main differences will be around content policies (moderation, how openly federated it is)
It’s like picking between different email providers, just that all have more or less the same features.
We have these guides too

I read this post as being the case where there isn’t enough room
I like it :)
Do you have a link to the wallpaper?

It’s not the fault of Linux, it’s the hardware manufacturers. Still, you need to consider it before buying the device
If you have a community center nearby, you can see if they have gym equipment. Those memberships should be simple to get and cancel.
