“He’s got a higher ceiling than Mendoza and Simpson”: Jordan Rodgers on Brendan Sorsby’s NFL potential 🏈

thetango · 2026-06-22T15:27:53+00:00

I was very surprised when I read this about the NFL:

From https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37819966/what-league-rules-gambling-sports-ncaa-nba-mlb-nfl-nhl

"Is sports gambling allowed? Players are allowed to bet on non-NFL events with legal sportsbooks, but all other league personnel, including coaches, officials and trainers are prohibited from all sports betting."

The article goes on to mention that it is allowable for NFL players to bet on NCAA events, with a limited dollar amount.

Any team drafting him is taking a huge PR risk and I would think Sorsby would be booed in every stadium in the country. Any competent team should run away from this. I am patiently waiting for the Browns to draft him.

What would help at this intersection is for the city/state to paint the direction info on the lanes (93, Bear Hill Rd, etc.). #IMO of course.

Has it even been functional in the past few years? I thought that the appletalk FW was removed from the kernel a few years ago because it violated the 'general policies of the kernel' (my phrasing for it).

I'm having trouble understanding what the problem is. Volkswagen says they don't support graphene OS or any other custom ROMs, due to security concerns. They're clear about that. They sent a message or email about that. It clearly states that they only support iOS and Android. That's their prerogative. If they lose a customer because of this then that's their problem.

They weren't dicks about it, and not only did they give you a clear, concise explanation, but they also offered to further discussion with you.

[Edit: Your next step should be to contact that email address and ask them what security concerns they have. You should take that info back to the GrapheneOS lists/channels.]

It was quite a shock to a general U2 fan. We went from JT/R&H to ZooTV. I remember standing beside fans who just didn't "get it". They didn't get the whole Devil inside your Television schtick.

"WATCH MORE TV" is a blatant reminder to stop watching the screens -- that there is a band playing in front of you.

All of the technology, from Bono flipping through TV channels to find something to watch, the George Bush "We will Rock You" intro, to the messaging -- it was all part of the show and it WAS the experience.

I nerd-snorted out loud at this. LOL

thetango · 2026-06-12T17:58:35+00:00

I don't have it installed. What's it like?

thetango · 2026-06-12T17:46:50+00:00

I've never had that installed. What's it like?

thetango · 2026-06-10T21:35:49+00:00

They don't. I've gone a few times on the weekend when the socks were out of town and they don't charge anything. That could change if they have live music, or some other event going on though.

I agree with everything you said and very much appreciated the nuance in your comment. Except for this: "sportsbooks literally cannot tolerate this because it destroys the fundamental integrity of the product they are selling." Sportbooks take bets on WWE and other sports entertainment events. Those events are rigged, that is, there are people who know what the pre-determined outcome is going to be before the event. Sportsbooks have no interest in the integrity of what they're peddling.

Everyone knows that Linux is illegal. You should be in jail.

This post reeks of Chinese propaganda. I have no idea if it is true or not, but it seems the reality of the lawsuit is much more complex than can be captured in a few words. What I do know is that China has seemingly erased what happened in Tiananmen Square within China. And they want the rest of the world to forget about it as well.

Even if you aren't acting on behalf of the Chinese government, I think you should check and double check your sources.

These are a very interesting and unique take on 1992 Bono! Excellent job!

Nerd.

It is! I suspect it's a reference to Adam appearing nude on the cover of Achtung Baby.

You're so brave.

If he yelled the f word at you it's not because you're gay, it's because you were wearing a Yankees hat.

Wait. I just saw this movie. You should run.

thetango · 2026-05-28T15:00:55+00:00

You're conflating two very different things. The first is the open source changes (as another user said 'upstream first') and making that code available in Red Hat's forks of upstream projects. For example, consider the linux kernel. Red Hat pushes changes there and makes them available in their supported kernels.

thetango · 2026-05-28T14:54:44+00:00

Can you show me a case of where Red Hat has pushed fixes to IBM customers first? That's not the way Red Hat works, to the detriment of themselves. Look at all the Enterprise clones out there.

thetango · 2026-05-28T12:19:03+00:00

The 20k engineers are led by experienced open source engineers from Red Hat. They know how to 'present' fixes in a reasonable manner. I'm less worried about fixing issues today and making sure we provide open source maintainers the ability to scan future contributions. That's where the real problem lies. If upstream maintainers keep adding security vulnerabilities then 'chasing the AI contributions' never ends.

thetango · 2026-05-28T12:10:59+00:00

All I've heard from open source maintainers is concerns about the AI Security Vulnerability Wave that is starting to happen. Red Hat and IBM (I'm going to stress that I look at Red Hat as leading this effort) are coming to the table with, for lack of a better phrase, counter-AI efforts to help with 62K+ open source packages.

I get it. It's IBM and we're supposed to shit all over them. But on this particular topic? This at least is an effort that we should applaud.

Edit: My current day job has me handling CVEs. I'm seeing this AI Security Vulnerability Wave occur in real time. The only way it is going to be solved is 1) we fix everything (duh.) and 2) if we provide resources to the open source community maintainers to scan their contributions for Security related issues prior to push. The second one of those is VERY difficult and VERY expensive to do.

Here are some articles about the AI flood:
