Bobby Cox, Hall of Fame manager and Braves icon, passes away at 84

Bobby Cox played with Mickey Mantle, managed Chipper Jones and established his own legend as he spent more than a half-century devoting himself to the game he loved and to a distinguished career that will be forever honored within Baseball’s Hall of Fame.

I'll always remember that run the Braves had in the 90s.

Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020

archive

My biggest impressions from the article

Microsoft shares slid about 10% on Thursday following an earnings report that disappointed some investors, prompting the stock’s sharpest daily decline since March 2020.


Microsoft’s finance chief, Amy Hood, argued that the cloud result could have been higher if it had allocated more data center infrastructure to customers rather than prioritizing its in-house needs.

“If I had taken the GPUs that just came online in Q1 and Q2 in terms of GPUs and allocated them all to Azure, the KPI would have been over 40,” she said.


Analyst Ben Reitzes of Melius Research, with a buy rating on Microsoft stock, said during CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” on Thursday that Microsoft should double down on data center construction.

“I think that there’s an execution issue here with Azure, where they need to literally stand up buildings a little faster,” he said.

LMAO, the analysts and C level execs are going to accelerate the fall of Micro$lop.

Phone recommendations

I'm looking for a recommendation for a phone, preferably a cheap used phone since I'm not really looking to break the bank and drive a Linux phone as my main until I can do so confidently without major disruption for work purposes. So SMS and phone calls are a must.

Things I'd like to have:

  1. 5G radio in case I use it long enough to where LTE towers get rolled further back before upgrading
  2. External monitor capable for an android auto replacement
  3. I really don't care which distro I use, but one with a large app repo would be nice.
  4. A Signal chat client
  5. VoLTE supported would be nice, but not necessary

So where are we going after the shutdown?

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/65824884

lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

Hey everyone

We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee will be shutting down on June 30, 2025.

What you need to know

As of now:

  • New user registrations are disabled
  • Creating new communities is disabled

What you should do:

  • You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings to take them with you to another instance.
  • If you're moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline.
  • Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline.
  • If you're one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support.

Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline.

Why this is happening

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.


We know this sucks. We're genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better.

– lemm.ee team

Laurel Pfahler's response to FCC's statement in response to Laurel Pfahler's 2 week press pass ban for FCC games

In response to this statement from FCC/MLS single entity:

https://www.fccincinnati.com/news/statement-from-fc-cincinnati

Out of professional decorum, we will not be sharing the details publicly

This statement is weak af. I expect nothing less from FCC/MLS single entity. Control the narrative, control the opposition, monopolize US soccer

MLS execs Garber, Rodriguez say Open Cup move is for greater good of U.S. soccer

https://archive.md/VS7wX

Biggest takeaway from this quote from Garber

We financially have no involvement in it. We don’t control the brand. We don’t control the state of the facilities.

It confirms my suspicion that MLS wants to be the only name in US soccer and is really pushing for their monopoly. The other takeaway is MLS gaslighting us now in saying this is for the greater good.

I can't wait for MLS to get busted up in an antitrust lawsuit. Fuck single entity.
