As I said in another reply, there was never any chance of this guy apologizing.
If anyone expected a (real) apology they don’t much about him.
Rubiales it’s not a “dumb mistake” kind of guy. It’s an “I’m untouchable and can do whatever I want” kind of guy. This is part of a years long trend.
I mean, he is indicted for several corruption cases, accused of holding orgies paid with federation funds, and being a shady creep. Spanish sports federations and national government have protected him from prosecution, delaying several cases. Let’s see for how much longer.
He also is kind of bad as a federation president, petty, dismissive with some teams, blind to corruption and deals between teams and referees, slow to accept the popularity of women’s football, and many more bad decisions.
It’s not an innocent guy that made an honest mistake, it’s the kind of guy that treats other people like objects and have the power and influence to avoid or delay the consequences of his actions.
He should have resigned years ago, he will not do it. But now he has done something that:
- it’s easy to explain.
- has been seen around the world.
- looks very bad.
So everyone that wanted him out of the federation for whatever reason (this one included) seems to be taking the chance.
As an Spaniard that doesn’t really care about football, but knows the kind of use this guy and others like him are making of their power, influence and taxpayer’s money ABOUT TIME.
I’m in the third act, over 50h played. Every single minute on a docked deck, 1080p/30fps output.
Perfectly playable. Of course graphic settings are almost all the way down and facial hair could look better, for example.
In Spanish we have an expression, “¡No se podía saber!” It’s something like “Who could have seen it coming?”
NFTs are a bad investment? ¡No se podía saber!
Xbox One/Series S/SeriesX and PS4/5 are x86 PCs, Switch is an ARM phone.
So, in the lowest level they are pretty out of the shelf hardware. Electronics are getting way to complicated to invest in the development of custom hardware architectures for a single product.
You take a commonly used architecture, fork an Operating System that you have access to, bundle as many libraries as makes sense and call it a day. No one is going to use weird quirks of the hardware except if you make some deal with Unity or Unreal.
Thank Sony and the Cell Processor for that.
Python in the browsers seems like the only outcome worst than JavaScript in the browser.
It sends shivers down my spine.
At least half of those are patched Firefoxes, without telemetry and improved privacy.
Brave, Vivaldi, Edge etc are way more different from chromium than any of those from Firefox.
The thing is Firefox components are more tightly coupled. blink and v8 are easier to wrap in your own browser than gecko and SpiderMonkey.
Mozilla has been refactoring for ages improving the modularity of Firefox, but it may be already to late.
Firefox architecture makes remarkably difficult to spin a browser based in its rendering engine.
I can forgive the JavaScript think taking into account the specification was made in 3 days and that the suits made “looking like Java” a requirement.
Everything else is true.
It’s an amazing ideology to have because if you can create a plausible future benefit you can do any real evil and feel like the good guy!

Stealed billions in wages from your workers? It’s alright, the funds will be used for you to gain influence and guide humanity to a better future!

Did you release a bioweapon in some global south country? It’s all right! Overpopulation was a danger 5 or 6 generations from now!

Destroyed democracy! It does not matter. Fascism today ensures democracy in the year 4000, trust me bro!
It’s amazing how so many people are falling into the trap and arguing against or even in favor of Microsoft’s CoD argument.
A single game of whatever size or importance is not the problem. But it’s in Microsoft’s best interest that the discourse keeps being this lacking in nuance and centered in aspects like this.
But you can sell everything back for full price, as always, right?
