  • Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night

  • Sorry, I answered without giving enough thought. You are right in your reasoning of course.

    Still, I find it confusing to have 2 completely different moments of the day represented by the same number.

    In phrases like "After 12 PM on Monday", "Before 12 AM" etc. I always need to think an extra second.

    Another example is setting automatic responder on the mail, where I need to rely on 11:59, because the date is selected before the time of day.

  • What is the logic for distinguishing 12AM vs 12PM? Also, you have double of every element and need 2 more sillables each to distinguish.

    It's confusing and inefficient.

  • I use 24h all the time when speaking, never got strange gazes for doing so. And I never remember which one is midday and which is midnight on the 12-hour time.

  • AM/PM time is another thing that needs to sink with the USA, just like the Imperial system and Fahrenheit.

  • Sorry to break it for you, but no one actually plays Doom anymore.

    We made physical toys and games into something expensive for adults and kicked kids out of the equation.

    Now all they have are videogames and the most affordable ones (the ones on PC) are soon to disappear.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'

  • I know, but at least I asked.

  • Nobel Institute rejects María Corina Machado’s offer to share peace prize with Trump

  • That request from Trump was a "test of spine".

    Now that he made sure she has none, she will be chewed with the rest.

  • Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy!

  • No no, you're thinking of circumvallation. This is about traveling around the entire globe by ship.

  • Cloudflare defies Italy’s Piracy Shield, won’t block websites on 1.1.1.1 DNS

    Jump

  • I am Italian and I find Piracy Shield an abomination.

    That said, the consequence after the government enacts this should be to see at least all the technically informed people protesting vehemently if not violently.

    Instead no, sofa is just too comfortable and pay is too high (including the one they get from public contracts), so let's instead applaud the Elon-yapping corpo that decides this is the one rule to challenge, but not the next one that is to their advantage.

    I thank you so much for this! I am amazed at the dependence of all facets of social life and information on Meta and Google's properties.

    I am cut out of my building's initiatives because I don't have a Facebook account. There are no events (such as dance events, protests, etc) published anywhere else than on Facebook's Events.

    When I propose to be contacted on Signal people look at me as if I was an alien.

    You are doing God's work, as a Christian would say.
