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.

I guess it’s art now

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

I’ve actually been playing with the idea for a generic “how could this have been better” community for a while now. It would fill the niche of communities like AITA, but the point would be to see if someone could have done something better in a particular situation rather than figuring out who’s fault something was. Not limited to past events, or personal situations, but it would have rules around keeping the discussion productive.

It’s hard because I feel that a lot of people who would post in such a community, would also feel emotionally attached to a particular outcome. I’d prefer if the community could build up a wholesome culture rather than a place to vent or get into fights

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 !selfhosted@lemmy.world 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

The variety show that discovered the likes of Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling and Keri Russell is returning with a new group of Mouseketeers.

Oh wow TIL

This 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”

Or if the sidewalk is narrow, it could get in the way of strollers and wheelchairs

I haven’t tried anything other than KDE plasma, but Niri looked interesting. CachyOS has Limine as a boot manager option, and I liked it

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

Some muppets always trying to ice-skate uphill. Or well, ice-skate in general.

If there is room, then its easy enough to just say “Excuse me” and scoot past

I read this post as being the case where there isn’t enough room

Certain fingerprint readers and touchscreens

It’s not the fault of Linux, it’s the hardware manufacturers. Still, you need to consider it before buying the device

I think this is a microphone with noise isolation, rather than noise cancelation from speakers.

I think the disagreement or misunderstanding comes from the premise

If we had a different world where it was impossible to lie or hide anything, then a lot of our current problems would be gone. Meanwhile a lot of new problems might come up

In this world, if you can’t enforce that everyone stays completely open and honest, then it is in everyone’s best interest to keep certain pieces of information private
