Great news. In India we have UPI which already made Mastercard and Visa come to their knees.

Forums work for knowledge storage, but for casual banter real time conversations trump everything

Discord became big because of the seamless audio / video / screen sharing. Forums are not even in the same stratosphere.

Federation and privacy don’t really go hand in hand

Hell yeah fifa and cod are awesome 😎

No I mean he also really wanted to promote football across cultures and invest into poor nations to grow the sport. FWIW he was insanely corrupt but also somehow an improvement on Havelange.

If there’s some important time by when I need to wake up (flight/train to catch, or waking up to travel by car or go for an appointment) I wake up around 5-10 minutes before my alarm. Like, always. I wish I was joking.

I am a very heavy sleeper. But I have no idea what happens to my internal clock at moments like those.
