I'm biased but just to play devil's advocate: where is the limit?

Imagine everyone is on one half of the pitch except for three players: an attacker with the ball 40 meters from goal, the goalie who is 25 meters from goal, and another attacker who is right next to the goalkeeper, blocking the goalie's path to the goal.

The attacker with the ball shoots the ball through the air into the empty goal, with not even a tiny chance the goalkeeper could ever make it. Is it offside?

I would argue it isn't and I think almost no referee would say it's offside simply because the goalkeeper didn't stand a chance to get anywhere close to the ball.

This is an extreme case, but I feel like today Maignon also would never have gotten that ball.

It's difficult because you can't always know if a goalkeeper would have been able to reach the ball without any interference, but there's gotta be some sort of line between true interference and irrelevant interference that would never change the outcome of what is about to happen.

I probably agree it's offside. As a Dutch person I'm frustrated now, but if I were French I'd be annoyed if the goal had been allowed.

Yeah it's a yellow according to the rules so fair enough. I just find it so unsportsmanlike that I wouldn't mind this being a red.

Only saw the highlights. Plenty of chances for Belgium, unlucky with the two disallowed goals. Silly way to concede though and now it's a pretty crazy group with the two strongest teams on paper in the bottom two spots.

Was hoping Austria could score but honestly they didn't really come close to a goal (in the second half anyway) and France had a few opportunities to make another.

Ridiculous what Mbappé did when he came back on to the field just to sit down and waste time. Would be happy if they changed the rules to make that a straight red.

Oh yeah I agree 100%, this whole thing is ridiculous and shows wells Fargo don't trust their employees and have to resort to this kind of bullshit.

I'm just saying it's possible that these employees were fired merely for using this mouse moving software, not because they weren't getting much work done.

The article doesn't say the fired employees were doing this all the time. They could have used them for an hour here and there while they were out running an errand. Very difficult to spot that on any work review.

Too bad Serbia couldn't score. I only watched the last half hour or so and they were creating quite a few chances.

Ik ben blijkbaar in de grote minderheid!

Ja dat zag ik ook, wat me verbaasde want ik kom niet uit de buurt van België!

Hello and a warm welcome from this random lemmy user! Good luck with everything, hope you stick around

That shows because this article (even the title) tells you France will have parliamentary elections, not presidential. Macron will remain president regardless of the outcome.

 

I've never owned a TV before but recently purchased a Samsung TV.

In terms of privacy, is it recommended I use its internal OS to log into things like Netflix or Disney+, or is it better to use a Chromecast for those things?

I figured if I use a Chromecast I can simply not connect my TV to the Internet at all. Of course, it does mean I'll be using a Google product.

And what privacy related issues am I opening myself up to in the first place? What kinds of things do TVs and Chromecasts track?

Anything else I should be considering?
