Selection is capital h Hard. Balancing experience with on-form with team cohesion with defensive roles is what head coaches get the big bucks for. And this England team are anti-rugby currently. Could well be he picked for the grind and he did get the result

Reads like Munster had a blast last night, I bet that was a great match to be at too

I was in the stadium, and he was pretty whistle happy. Even with the ref going to the PA he wasn't forthcoming for lots of explanation. Fiji out of window are a different breed, that was a tough game for them. Still, they did string together 3 unanswered tries, so there is something for them to take away. The welsh better be on their game next week!

The Dune universe lacks computers, which is why spice is so valuable - does that count? Still has plenty of machines, but they aren't the story

Should be a great clash at the weekend, hoping it's put away by half time and we see the bench then shine

No idea if the Munster match is being shown sadly

A few uncapped here, are they awarding caps for taking on Munster? With Ireland not playing this weekend, Munster will be after a scalp!

Ever reliable Marler sticks his foot in it again ahead of tournament. Just ammo for the All Blacks here

I suspect all England players are over-rated :P But I don't watch enough premiership to judge really. He's a big name, I'm sure a moral boost, and making some headlines though - what's not to love?

A little build up to the End of year internationals for us. Personally I never rated curry, but I know a lot of English fans dol

This out of release window weekend has England vs Japan and Scotland vs Fiji for us. Scotland with a lot of exiles to be tested on depth, the all blacks with a quick turn around after playing in Japan last weekend, Fiji being tested financially as always, and England being tested by just playing the ABs. Should be juicy!

That's 20 in a row for the Red Roses. The All Blacks managed "just" 18 in 2015/16

A great move for Glasgow here. I was just saying how bad pro teams in Scotland were at getting out there. Well here's an opportunity! URC champions are going to pump yet-to-find-a-win Edinburgh though

Didn't know about this tour. Irish depth is pretty legendary in the URC, so the resilt is not a surprise to me!

This is it final round. Early doors: NZ vs Aus. Followed by Arg vs SA. It's technically all on the line, but los Pumas still need a miracle. I'm hoping to catch at least a bit of both, this year's TRC has been the best in donkeys years!

Cardiff, Munster, Leinster topping the table, with SA teams yet to play. Scottish and Italians teams all losing, but signs of hope for both Edinburgh and Benetton picking up both a try and losing bonus point. Considering Edinburgh last years' abysmal bonus points (and playing Leinster) I'm taking away a good showing. And Glasgow losing by point away to Ulster is far from a write off too, for either side!

A feast of rugby now from here on. I'm ready

NH Pro season has already kicked off in France, but for the rest of Europe: it's this Friday. I've got tickets for Edinburgh v Leinster and cannot wait! Champions cup joins the URC on Premier Sports; hooray for me, as I was never going to pay for TNT and Premier Sports

New Crazy Taxi title will be an open-world, massively multiplayer AAA game, according to Sega in c/games@lemmy.world

Some fuckwit VP needs fired over this decision. It was a simple game: pickup fairs, earn extra time, unlock stuff as you progress. If a publisher want extra cash, do more levels, or different jobs (delivery driver addon anyone?). And a fun soundtrack

Should have been able to bang it out for a million quid, and then reap the rewards. But nooo, now we have a game nobody wants to play, costing 20mil and will have servers shut down 2 years after launch

[-] Olap@lemmy.world 117 points 6 months ago

When does systemd stop? Linux without it is increasingly looking unlikely in the future. Are we not worried about it being a single point of failure and attack vector?

This isn't a moan about the unix philosophy btw, but a genuine curiosity about how we split responsibilities in todays linux environment.
