  • True?

  • 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.

  • My guy, pasta drinking straws are for you!

  • 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.

  • You don't need to actually write it, just raise your hand and we have registered your vote, either via your computer's camera, Google Nest, Google Assistant or inferred it by analysing the WiFi data returned by your Google Mesh network.

  • 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).

  • 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).

  • Or, you know, trivially circumvent it? Compress media, break up URLs? I don't understand how this could possibly be effective.

  • Pirated content don't have ads though.

  • I was so confused about the message... Ken went full patriarchy, but then demonstrated that it wasn't really that bad (also, no horses). So compared to barbieland the real world is absolutely paradise. Then they flip the full-on matriarchal barbieland to complete patriarchy, find that the women don't like that, do a bit of gender war and go mostly matriarchy because reasons. And than a bitter remark that women have it hard in the real world so men will have it hard in barbieland. It's all over the place.

    The weird pacing, jokes that fall flat and at one point goes all 3 stooges just left me feeling... Empty, afterwards. All that hype, all the people rooting for and against it, people complaining that it didn't win all the awards... I thought it was a vapid, low quality summer movie.

  • I don't know, I think Maeomo / Meego - Nokia N9 was pretty close to ticking all boxes.

  • People who aren't liberal when they're young have no heart.

    People who aren't conservative when they're old have no money.

  • changelog

  • Please note that I did mean patents in the above comment. I will let the typo stay though.

  • My impression is that many parents are just approved by default, letting the courts determine validity... Good for the patent office, great for the lawyers.

  • Firefox - Accidentally introduces memory leaks. People flee in droves.

    Chrome - Intentionally introduces privacy leaks. People go "eh" end keep using it.

    Gotta protect that memory!

  • Which kind of works

    I guess... If they really don't care about time of day coinciding with the placement of the sun. Ever. Unless they're only running 26h days summer and winter but 24 hour days during spring and fall..? This would be FUN!
