My football team has started to do the same thing, every now and then they change jersey throughout the season (without counting the THREE they start the season with) in order to sell new ones

They're making sports really hard to follow, and to be passionate about. Now I only watch it if I catch it in a bar and they have it on, I am hating football, it was on free tv, now some matches are on a paid TV, some other on another one, still paid, before it was wednesday, sunday, now it's monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. I hope a lot of people stop watching it so that we can go back to something that makes sense


Aren't the sports generally growing their revenue and audiences? It seems the reason for the multicolored jerseys, gambling ads, etc. is you: 'You' (most people reading this) keep watching, no matter what.


Wow, my initial thoughts on more jersey variation is "that's kinda fun, but sometimes they're ugly". I'm surprised you think it makes sport hard to be passionate about.

I assume you're referring to football (soccer) since you called them matches.

Do you really think jersey changes are affecting your passion for sports or is this just another example of the system breaking down, but pay-to-watch is what's really hurting your interest?


It's hurting because they're constantly trying to sell you something, even the jersey is full of sponsor in soccer


The multicolored jerseys, not the incessant idiotic gambling ads, are what makes sports hard to watch apparently.


why not both, it's not the jersey in itself, its the constant tentative of sell you something


I start to recognise idiots when they start talking about absolute stuff, like "freedom of speech means you can say everything" or "developers don't know anything about X" this confirms my rule


I don’t know, I’ve worked in companies using GitHub having to halt everything twice per month due to GitHub outage,and some other Doing pretty well with self hosted GitLab inside a vpn, factor the cost of having the devs stopping twice a month in the cost of GitHub.


That's anectdotal.

I'd argue that the risk of your own instance being inaccessible for whatever reason is significantly higher than GitHub or GitLab having a full outage.


I've always been a supporter of those, my view on democracy is not to be mature enough, but to be a part of society with needs and ideas, school students neee to be represented because they're part of a society


How about we only allow those who have our same ideas? That's great for democracy, true democratic values


It has been a whole campaign based on the needs of the 0.whatever% part of the population, I’ve always been a respectful member of society thinking that lgbt people have the rights to be whatever they want and everyone has the right to define himself, I’ve been even to a gay pride, but now they’ve broken my balls, a bunch of people can’t just monopolize the debate for everyone


Democracy means having the ability to cast a preference, and citizens have voted twice for a guy saying he would ban TikTok, not sure what's more democratic than that


He explicitly said he wouldn't ban TikTok during his second campaign.


but ordered society also means "elections change nothing, there are rules"

so then, under this premise, what changes things? a vote in congress


I feel like they were not only the most useless policies, with decades away targets, but also had the most damage on labour, see car manufacturers all in crisis cutting jobs


If it takes 23 mins to freeze an account through a chat option I guess revolut is not good, my plain old bank has a phone help line I can call from everywhere in the world to freeze everything immediately

They should probably refund the money taken during the time the customer was trying to contact them, it's just another tech company thinking that customer care is a disease

My plain old bank also requires a new code for each transaction even if you have the app enabled, so that's another point, I really would suggest people to steer far away from these new challenger banks

If the notification you get to setup a new app can be custom, instead of the device's name, like in this case it was presented as "Etsy" I guess it's another security concern, seems that Revolut doesn't take fraud or scam in consideration AT ALL, what they mean "very seriously"
