The Republicans are not sending their best.

They really are…

Oh no, people who are enthusiastic about privacy and open source don’t want to support fascists! How can it be so?

He is offensively decent.

Or convince him he’s rich, I guess. He just pardoned a bunch of rich despicable people.

I had to look it up. It flips a bit. https://doc.endlessparentheses.com/Fun/butterfly.html

Open another terminal. Killall vim.

You’re the closest to the truth. It’s actually a booster propeller for when the plane needs to go super sonic.

Does Google do that? Apple absolutely does it, but has Google ever done that?

To me, a Linux user, Apple is more of a jail or a pusher. I don’t want to use it because of lock in. Oh, you have an iPod? It’s much better with a Mac. An iPhone? All your friends should also have it, and now we have this special app you can only use properly with other apple users.

No thanks.

I agree! Can we also get rid of politicians, mosquitoes and people who use their phone at the cinema?

We have slackbots that post, for instance, who has vecation every day. Because it is configured to post this using UTC, the time of day this is posted changes twice a year.

I might have a recurring appointment for lunch in my calendar every day at noon. Now DST happened, so I have to wait until one to eat. That is inconsistent to me.

Timezones change. If I have to go to the theatre on half a year at 18:00, I don’t want to be there at 19:00 because someone decided local time would be better if we moved it an hour. The show time certainly won’t be moved.

What is local time? It’s spacetime. When did it happen and if relevant (eg. a photo) what was the offset (because I would like to know the time of day)? When will it happen, and where? Online meetings across timezones are tricky, of course, but excluding the timezone won’t improve that.

It is? Without even mentioning it?

To be clear I believe it makes sense to do a lot of things in UTC, but future events should almost always be local time + timezone to make scheduling predictable and consistent to humans.

To be fair, returning the actual timezone (as defined by tz.db) is useful if you don’t just want the current time since you’ll be able to take DST into account. Not sure how Vienna is -8 though, it should be +1 (or 2 depending on DST).

Just don’t read the biography. I just finished it, and while it’s amazing it will leave you devastated.

If I remember the rules correctly you are allowed to fly over private property as long as it isn’t fenced off. You cannot overfly buildings without permission. You can take pictures of private property without permission as long as they don’t contain anything personally identifiable (ie. don’t take pictures of people, but no people is fine).
