A few years ago, I checked how many subscriptions I had to get in order to watch all games of my club in the season (in France).

I was ridiculous : 2.5 providers for the league (Canal+ with their "sports" pack for some games + Bein Sport), RMC Sport for the euro cups, Eurosport for the French Cup, and Infosport+ (a Canal+ channel but not included in their sports pack, go figure), the total was close to 115€/month (that's close to a full month of salary at minimum wage). All with a 12-months subscription, even if the channel (like Eurosport or Infosport+) may not broadcast one single game of the team (related to cup draws).

20 years ago, you could watch ALL French football with only TF1/FR2/FR3 (free TV Channels) and Canal+ for €30/month.

When the LFP decided to split games to different broadcasters, everything started to go South. And this year, they couldn't find any broadcaster for the league, so they had to create their own channel, which can broadcast only 8 games per match day, since Bein still has a contract for the 9th one.

It has already poped in France.

Our clubs won't get any TV rights this season (or really peanuts, like €5M to L1's winner).

Maybe he'll have to step back like Linus had a few years ago.

And maybe give the wp.org domain ownership to the Foundation, making WP a bit more reliable and resilient to one's actions.

The first two comments (by timestamp) are one guy (OP) asking for an Obsidian plugin, and the second one is a guy asking for the implementation of swimlane diagrams.

Because writing a book, shooting a movie, composing a song, takes time ?

So either those pieces are IP-protected, and their author can make money with it, or we have to set up a basic income for everyone, and art becomes free.

Copilot access is $10/month.

Think about how Napster was treated back in the day, or torrent websites. You pay to access some copyrighted content. Is it legal ?

I don't see where in the article it is stated that he should fire himself ?

Isn't the friendship angle precisely addressed by "team dynamics", "personalities", and "personal situation" ?

> It makes zero sense to keep people who are being fired, they are being fired for a reason.

The problem addressed here was "is my reason valid". If you fire someone for the wrong reason, and then everything crumbles, having them on paid leave for 1 month or 2 won't hurt the company financially, and allow to test "how are we doing when X is not there anymore".

So what you're saying is Apple cannot secure iOS to prevent this from happening? Like mandatory anti-malware built directly in the OS ?

Phone makers should not be able to sell their phones, only lease them, since there not yours in the first place.

Some stores use it to store the production chain metadata of their products : when it was produced, by whom, etc, and make this information public. As anything stored in the blockchain can't easily be faked, it allows customers to check the authenticity of what they are buying (ie where has this product been farmed, cooked, by whom, etc).

So, just ask him not to wear it at the conference ?
