I somehow expected an early exit from Nadal, but against the winner between Haas and Phillip and not on the 2nd round. So Fed will end up at number 2 now no matter what happens, right?

depends how far Feds gets, he may slip up the form he is in though its doubtful

The title is for Djokovic or Federer to grab whoever wins in their semi. I hope Federer wins his 17th. Would be epic. Djokovic won't lose many points. And with the Olympics coming next month, perfect time for Federer to win a Slam before it to boost his confidence.

However much I'd like to, one can never rule out Andy Murray, especially now since Nadal is out, and he's basically guaranteed a relatively easy path to the finals itself (something he could never before achieve thanks to Nadal). If he does make it to the finals, the crowd will be 100% with him regardless of who's on the other side.

That being said, the crowd won't help him that much against Djokovic or Federer. I'm going to predict Djokovic to win Wimbledon 2012, but I'd very much love to see Federer win his 17th :)

sad to see Nadal's conqueror go out

No way! It's the best! If Rosol had made it to (say) the quarters, he would be partially vindicated, and Nadal himself could justify his loss by saying "Oh, at least he made it this far..." Since he's out, though, Nadal must live with the knowledge that had he somehow beaten Rosol, he would've easily made it to the semi's, and likely the finals.

Oh yes, I'm an evil person. :woot:

Federer FTW. Whoever wins the Djokovic-Federer semi will win it. I just hope Federer doesn't win only against Djokovic and then loses to Tsonga or Murray in the final (both have excellent win-loss record against him). If Fed's not going to win all the way, then I would rather have Djokovic win rather than Murray or Tsonga.

Does any body know what this blue paint type looking stuff I can see on some of the players is?

For instance, Tsonga currently has a patch of it on his right leg. Ferrer had some on his right arm in his match against Murray, and I am fairly sure that Djokovic has a patch of it on his leg in his match against Federer!

    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.

      For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
