In – or out? Wimbledon considers replacing line judges with AI

Reply in thread

Eh I don't know if I agree with that line of thinking. The issue with VAR is that even after taking so long, the decisions aren't much better. If we have the technology to take better decisions, I believe we should be using it.

Even with VAR, I believe we are better off now that we were before. The most frustrating part of a sport is having the referee decide a pivotal moment in a game and VAR aims to reduce that at the cost of some extra time. I hope in a couple years. The technology will get better too.

Bank of Canada raises its interest rate to 5%

Reply in thread

Overall I feel that's their idea. Aggressive rate hikes in quick succession slows down the red hot economy quickly, but also creates an air of uncertainty. This causes corporations to panic and start thinking about pausing promotions and even begin layoffs. And we all know, the best way to reduce inflation and slow down an economy is to have more unemployed and poor people. The government knows that as long as companies keep paying people a lot of money, people gonna a keep buying shit.

By everyone, I think you mean at the lower end of the pay Spectrum. Minimum wage hasn't kept up for the past 30 years, but as you climb higher, the pay has certainly skyrocketed. And it's these people that drive up the cost of housing. If everyone was being paid like shit, house prices wouldn't have skyrocketed.

In 1980, a person making minimum wage could afford a house and a CEO coukd afford 5 houses. Today, minimum wage makers can afford 0 houses, while the CEO can afford 20. On average, house buying capacity has gone up Imo. It's just the split that fucks over the poor people.

What are some good hobbies/interests for someone in their mid thirties to pick up?

Man I really want to learn the piano but the community sometimes feels so gatekeepy. So many people will tell you if you don't start off with a dedicated piano teacher, you won't have the right foundational principles and you'll be forever shit. I just dont have the time to commit to a schedule and regular piano lessons.

Love your comment bout getting better, not good. Maybe I shold just dive in and see where it takes me.

[Official] Harry Kane departs to Bayern

Reply in thread

To be fair though, the striker market is insane right now. Hojlund £80 million, Napoli demanding £150 million for Omishen. When you consider that, £100 million doesn't seem that insane provided it brings bayern a deep CL run. If they win it in the next few years, it's 100% worth it for them.

PSA: Let’s fill Kbin/Lemmy with content to attract and KEEP new users

Reply in thread

Are you using any lemmy app right now? I'd recommend trying jerboa, atleast till the sync/boost apps are here in a few weeks. You can try to use the search function to find communities/subreddit.

You can think of an instance as a new reddit. So for eg, you can host a reddit called caboose and I can host one with my name. You can have your rules on what's allowed on your instance. In addition, we can create a "subreddit" called memes on both our instances. You probably want to join the one with the most users. Assuming the meme community on the caboose instance has more users, I'd just join that. Once it reaches critical mass, that'll become the default memes community on the fediverse! The people on my instance of reddit would just use the memes community on your instance since it's all interlinked.

To start, I would suggest browsing via all. Joining communities with high user engagement for now. The niche communities will take time to migrate. In addition, when you search for a community, join the one which has the most users.

Look into the arr suite of apps, radarr + sonarr + prowlarr to manage your library and jellyfin/PleX to play it. Get overseer for request management. You can set it up for remote access from anywhere, have people make requests on overseer and have the data available a few mins later. It's amazing when it's set up.

One sided turbo games

I play in low legeng and tbh, most games are stomps. I think it kinda has to do with the constant fighting meta as well. Generally, I'll find in games there one or 2 people who didnt get the memo and try to afk farm for 15 mins. This is almost certainly going to result in a loss if the other tema jsut groups and pushes/fights nonstop.

On the flip side, I'm having a lot of fun games if both teams are ready to fight! So many kills and team fights. Even had a few turbo games last 40 mins.
