🚨 Jamie Carragher Blasts Ronaldo After Uzbekistan Brace: "This Changes Nothing"
🗣️ "I've seen people acting like Ronaldo just scored a World Cup final winner against prime Germany. Let's calm down for a second.
Yes, he scored two goals. Fair enough. Strikers are supposed to score goals. But the reaction from some of his fans has been absolutely unbelievable. Social media is flooded with posts talking about 'greatness', 'legacy' and 'the GOAT debate being over' because he scored against Uzbekistan in a group-stage game.
This is exactly the problem. Context disappears whenever Ronaldo scores.
Meanwhile Messi came into the tournament and immediately scored a hat-trick in his first match and followed it up with a brace in the second. Five goals in two games. Yet somehow the conversation today is about Ronaldo finally opening his account against opposition that nobody expected Portugal to struggle against in the first place.
The standards are completely different.
When Messi scores five goals in two games, people say, 'That's Messi being Messi.' When Ronaldo scores a couple against a team ranked far below the elite nations, some fans start talking as if football history has been rewritten.
The GOAT debate was settled by performances on the biggest stages, against the biggest opponents, under the biggest pressure. That's where Messi separates himself. World Cup finals, Champions League finals, Copa América finals — those are the moments that define legends.
Messi has spent years making extraordinary performances look normal. Ronaldo fans have spent years turning ordinary moments into extraordinary celebrations.
Messi remains the benchmark. Messi remains the standard. And for me, Messi remains the greatest footballer the game has ever seen."
one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"

What you say is true, but nonetheless our AI will be great. Whether it is the best remains to be seen, but I will never give up. Never.
Space(XAI) is only 3 years old. That’s half the age of Anthropic and quarter the age of OpenAI.
Let’s see where things stand 3 years from now.
@jarredsumner Why not create a new programming language, something low-level like Assembly, but designed specifically for AI? Then we could rewrite Bun’s core in that language and potentially achieve 10x better performance.
Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.
🚨🗣️ Novak Djokovic: "I met Messi at a restaurant in the United States. He asked me for advice about tennis. I told him: 'Please, Messi, don’t ask me that. I won’t give you any information. You dominate football and now you want to dominate tennis. No, no, play football. When I retire, then you can play tennis.'
"He laughed and told me: 'I’m lucky that football is played with the feet and not with the hands.'
"But the truth is I’m lucky Leo isn’t a tennis player, otherwise I wouldn’t win any titles. He’s the best football player of all time. I love watching him."
@theo WebKit lies to Activity Monitor by reserving memory aggressively upfront; Electron tells the truth by actually spending it across visible processes so comparing the two totals directly is an apples-to-oranges mistake.
@theo The Tauri version shows tauri://localhost eating 262.5MB alone that's a WebKit WebView process, and WebKit on macOS has notoriously aggressive memory preallocation. It doesn't mean the app itself is heavy; it means macOS's WebKit runtime reserved that memory upfront.
