We've gone too far. Everyone just switch to UTC please. Yes, it means some will go to bed at 2pm and get up at 10pm, so what.

If humans had tails we'd have clothes to hide and possibly restrain them and it would somehow be rude to move it. It just fits the whole self loathing much of the western world had going on for the last few centuries.

It stays with you.

And THAT'S why you don't roll your own datetime class/column format. It's a solved problem, people!

This feels like a word that would be both singular and plural. Like sheep.

Two wug.

"Oh, that's an option?"

They collected incognito session info, whose entire existence was 'not keeping a history', so almost 100% the latter.

Inflammable means flammable? What a country!

Goddammit, I'm feeling for an anthropomorphic programming language that I don't even know.

There was this photo recently from an iPhone that composed several shots of a bridal dress in a mirror and the reflections didn't fit reality. Apparently Samsung has been 'enhancing' photos of the moon. So your statement isn't only correct, it's already reality for many manufacturers.

And the singular of sheep is shoop.

YES IT IS SHUT UP

That episode was scathing and I love it.

the better o2 lmao

You see, because of the stark absence of women, we kinda had to make our own.

I'm a straight dude and would press the button in a heartbeat because I don't see either of those options as problematic (as the meme usually suggests).

you know, that was a really relaxing time. why do i need to give you numbers about a project six months into the future that won't hold up the second we finish? it'll be six, maybe five, possibly seven months. that should be enough, right?

I'm not visiting any of those sites regularly. I'm not subscribing to any outlet without sampling their content, either. So that was always going to fail.

In the before times you were able to purchase one edition of a paper and be done with it. Now it's subscription only, so they won't see a dime from me.

flared base 👍 carry on

Yeah, we have all the tech already. PKI exists. Just issue a white house certificate and use that to sign official stuff - documents, press releases, videos. They CAN control their narrative if they wanted to. It just takes someone near the top who understands technology.

Wouldn't have stopped the fake phone call, though...

... This is a really bad time for a "I am Spartacus" thing.

Capitalism has found you keep making lemonade when they shoot lemons at you, so they're exploiting that fact for profit. It's not even your lemonade!

In a world where they don't have their own agenda (e.g. military income), I'd agree.

In THIS world, where the AfD has a considerable voice and the government blocks itself on gender inclusive language and rather does nothing, I don't. Let's not call it genocide, then we don't have to act. Let's not be too hasty about Putin so we don't have to send any help. Let's think about weed legalization for half a decade to be sure.

I think they're being obstructive on purpose.

and we still can't get vmware to run properly on our company laptops. current theory is p/e core scheduling shenanigans. it's only been two years, what can you expect from the global leaders in virtualization and os.

i swear, before i upgrade I'll move my team to Linux. I've been mainlining debian for six years without issues, INCLUDING RUNNING VMWARE.

It's become self-aware and is parodying itself!

In Europe we've been talking about ending DST for years now and it hinges on countries deciding which zone they want to adopt permanently. Why can't they decide? Because the notion of getting up at six and having lunch at 12 is stronger than the cosmic fact of the sun being in the middle of the sky. We just need to decide how we want daylight to fit into that grind.

I say fuck that. If we can't decide, don't. Since we're changing everything anyway, going to UTC will force everyone to think how THEY want to live their lives. When to open stores, whether to move opening hours in winter or summer, when to go to work (both early birds and night owls are great).

Plus in today's globalized world, 14:00 will be 14:00 everywhere. You decide for yourself if you're working then or not if somebody sends a meeting request halfway across the world.

Unless your company doesn't know wtf they're doing and it just doesn't work.

Highschool debate club has failed if that's what people compare actual debate to. It's necessary to take a firm stand in a discussion, even being devil's advocate is fine, as long as it happens objectively.

But I guess HS debates just end after three rounds and then no retrospective happens about what stance (not WHO) was right and why.

TL;DR HS debates were supposed to be better than this.

Right?? Cheap is the wrong word.

Are you a plates in a drawer or plates in a cupboard kind of person?

I'm sure it'll work one of these days.

Hey shamp, how was sshool?

To support this: Backblaze consistently reports much higher failure rates for Seagate drives than all others. I personally don't trust them. All my failed drives are Seagate, but that's anecdotal. https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/resources/hard-drive-test-data https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-drive-stats-for-2022/ the by manufacturer graph.

That's not more time, it's the same time distributed differently. Does the author also believe daylight savings time adds an hour to the day? Hopefully not.
