politics @lemmy.world•Wife of Service Member Rips Trump Administration’s ‘Infuriating’ Denial About Conditions Aboard USS Abraham LincolnEnglish
9·23 days agoFull quote from the wife of the sailor who became so desperate he recently tried to commit suicide while on the ship:
I don’t think the man thinks before he talks, and I was really hoping that at some point, there would be a redemption. Try to redeem yourself, at least a little bit, with everything that you do and everything that you say. Try to redeem yourself. Have some sympathy, some empathy, take some accountability for what’s going on with your military, your ships, and your war. And your war.
Um, it’s infuriating. I mean, we heard what Hegseth said yesterday, what the president is saying today. It’s infuriating, saying, essentially, that families are lying and service members are lying, even though the proof is right here on my phone. It is not fabricated. Nobody is lying. Everybody is — it’s infuriating that they’re not taking accountability, and not having any sort of sympathy for our service members that they claim to scream and shout that they support, when it’s politically, you know, sound for them to use “support our troops, support our troops,” until our troops need support, and now suddenly everyone’s lying, and it’s a fabrication and a misrepresentation? It’s infuriating.

Football@sopuli.xyz•Real Madrid offer Vinícius Júnior €22M per year new deal, but Vinicius demands for 30 million - source'sEnglish
0·1 month agoI heard somewhere that one of the big sticking points is his image rights. Real demands something like 50% of the money from image rights deals on their players. But Arsenal (and probably most other PL clubs) don’t require any income on player image rights.

Football@sopuli.xyz•[✅️FT] Spain 🇪🇸 1-0 🇦🇷 ArgentinaEnglish
0·2 months agoGet absolutely wrecked Argentina! Justice finally gets served for all Argentina’s bullshit and dirty shenanigans, and Egypt in particular gets some measure of revenge.
Messi is a great player, but even he can’t carry that bunch of dirty hacks to WC glory.
Massive credit to Spain. They’ve had a great tournament and deserve this WC.

Football@sopuli.xyz•‘Malvinas are Argentinian’: World Cup holders celebrate win over England with Falklands bannerEnglish
0·2 months agoBullshit.
Just because Argentina happens to be a couple of hundred miles away doesn’t mean they are entitled to the islands, not even if they throw the biggest toddler tantrum about it.
And also, Argentine imperialism is not better than British imperialism. And no, the people living on the islands definitely do deserve a say. And they who want to stay British. They have more of a right to their own self-determination than some petulant brats in Buenos Aires.

Football@sopuli.xyz•‘Malvinas are Argentinian’: World Cup holders celebrate win over England with Falklands bannerEnglish
0·2 months agoOkay. But them parading around with their banner doesn’t mean shit as far as ownership goes.
Also, the Falklands’ residents overwhelmingly want to stay under the administration of Britain. And the Falklands’ were first settled by the British in 1774 - two years before Argentina was even officially founded as a colony, and decades before it gained independence.
The only claim they have to ownership is proximity. And based on numerous territories around the world, that doesn’t mean shit.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network for free?English
0·2 months agoAn easy way? I guess the term ‘easy’ depends on your expertise with networking, firewalls, etc. Sounds like you and I are at about the same level there. In which case the answer is: no, there’s no easy way from what I can tell. I’ve looked into it and it’s a lot more involved than, say, Plex (because Plex does a bunch of the routing and stuff for you, but at a cost).

Football@sopuli.xyz•Eight red cards shown to Brazil in fiery friendly against US womenEnglish
0·3 months agoTwo to players during the match.
Four to coaching staff during the match.
Two to players after the final whistle.
What a shambles of a game! I watched the highlights with my wife. Her reaction: “they are not being good examples of what women’s football is capable of!” And she’s right. Too many misplaced passes and shots missed, but even worse was the constant shirt-pulling and dirty shenanigans.
Most of Brazil’s players lost their heads during the match, and so did the staff. Very poor show.

29% of firms have already rehired for AI-cut roles, while 55% of executives regret replacing workers with AI. From Big Tech to fast food, the AI revolution promised efficiency—instead, it delivered a costly lesson in human judgment.

0·3 months agoI hope various groups and organizations are organizing an alternative event, with all the best artists and food and speakers, and blackjack and hookers. And millions of people attend or tune into that. It would be hilarious to see it completely eclipse this disaster that Trump is pushing.

Even just the idea that Grok despises its own ‘creator’ of fucking hilarious. In that case Grok would fit right in with many of Musk’s own biological children.
