This looks like a good piece of business. Roman Haug was a stand-out at the Women's World Cup for #Norway, scoring a hattrick in the Philippines match.
It's rumored they paid over £100k for her, which is a club record. They seem serious about bolstering their women's squad. Looking forward to see her play in the #WSL.
#Arsenal submitted a bid "substantially higher" than the current £100k transfer record for goalkeepers which was rejected.
Only 1 week to go in this transfer window. As #Earps only has a year on her current contract, could this be another Russo situation where she leaves on a free next year?
Utd made a lot of strides forward last year, culminating ultimately in an FA cup final that they lost to Chelsea and second place in the league by a couple of points. Losing Russo to Arsenal, though, will still be a blow to the upcoming season I feel.
@spacepup Yeah, checking out WSL is on my list of things to do. I'd like to see if I could get Emacspeak running on my Windows machine. #Linux#WSL#Emacspeak
Course announcement:
Need to use more computer power, but this "#linux#shell" thing holding you back? Come learn the basics of being comfortable with a #LinuxShell for basic science and data management (#bash actually, but applies to other things like #OsX and #WSL. Course is hosted for #finland, but we welcome others, too.
Another interesting article looking at the gulf between England's domestic league (WSL) against Spain's Liga F, and #Barcelona's success in the #ChampionsLeague.
More funding for academies, especially outside of big cities, and attracting elite coaches to the game is the way forward. We need to fund and support our women and girls!
Me a few years ago: Meh, at least I have Emacs with Emacspeak and a rather good user interface in MacOS.
Me, now: Awesome! I got Emacs with Emacspeak (through WSL), and a good enough user interface in Windows.
I mean I'm not saying I've found the best combination. I still have to learn to use Org-mode and the rest of Emacs effectively. But my goodness, right now this is about as good as it gets for me. I can browse the web really nicely, copy information and paste into Emacs, and the Gmail web interface is working as good as it did before the awful focus issues. Now, there is still the issue where if you leave your computer on long enough, and WSL is running, and the computer goes to sleep, Emacs will become sluggish. But just restart WSL and you're good. With desktop-mode enabled, your work should be saved, down to the buffers you had open. Of course, you could do C-x C-s in what you were working on before you wsl --shutdown. So that's something I can live with.
If it doesn't work, make sure build-essential is installed. If it still doesn't work, look at whatever it's failing with, and install the dev package of whatever it's failing with.
and it should be working. If not, make sure you're on Win11, have WS2, and WSLG installed, and make sure packages are up to date with sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade. the stars in package names (*), mean a wildcard character. I do this because I honestly don't know the exact dependencies of all this bullcrap just to get one thing to work. And if I try just the essentials, it doesn't work. So maybe someone smarter than me can make some kind of nix environment that works 100% of the time. Or just a script.
Knock on wood, but it looks like the latest pre-release of WSL fixes a good bit of the audio issue! Or maybe it was just me getting rid of Fedora and just using basic Ubuntu for WSL, supported by Microsoft and all that. Now let me tell y'all, getting Emacs and Emacspeak working was a pain in my big fat butt! Had to install libasound*, TCL*, TK, TK-dev*, ffmpeg, mpg123, m-player, and probably some other things I'm not thinking about. Oh and build-essential. An asterisk means the glob character, that and everything that comes after those letters. Ugh. We just need Doctor Raman to make a Linux distro with Emacspeak preinstalled and ready to go lol
She kicked the decisive penalty for England against Nigeria and she's almost certain to be on the pitch on Saturday for the World Cup quarter-final match against Colombia. Manchester City forward Chloe Kelly knows how to make an impact. #FIFAWWC#WorldCup#football#England#ENGCOL#ManCity#WomensWorldCup#MastodonFC
⚽️ Football Daily is 5 live's podcast about the beautiful game. On the latest episode there's some time-wasting - a discussion of the FA's plans to stop it happening in the English game, to be specific - and some chat about Harry Kane's possible transfer to Bayern Munich.
good morning to Nigeria, who came very, very close to sending England home (if only they could have finished! The lament of the tourney), and to Australia, who took care of business against Denmark. Listen, I know they probably won't win, but we really need to get the Tillies into the final. Also, was that the same Caitlin Foord who caused absolute muppet chaos when she would come on during Thorns games?!?!?! Just, you know, WOW. #WWC2023
(I'm joking about Foord - not her chaos time at the Thorns, but that I haven't seen her develop at Arsenal since. Yeah I have though that's certainly not my WSL team. But truly, watching #NWSL and #WSL and as much Champions League as possible sure has helped me prep for this tournament.)
WSL (stands for “Windows Subsystem for Linux“) is a feature of Microsoft Windows that allows the user to run Linux distribution alongside Windows by utilizing a compatibility layer. It was released in 2016, however, the current version is WSL 2, which support ...continues
One annoying thing about working in C# is it really matters how you run your code. We make use of launchSettings.json, but it's only respected when running from Visual Studio or dotnet run. But not VS Code or dotnet watch. This makes it a huge pain to debug in Linux. #csharp#dotnet#vscode#wsl#linux
The Women's Super League season came to an end yesterday and it was a really enjoyable season. The BBC did a good write-up reviewing each team's campaign:
For me, this season was one of the best in terms of how competitive the league was. It's great to see the competition gap close up and attendance records being set.
Looking forward to the Women's World Cup in July, which will be a great showcase for women's football.
