What makes you hate it?

I think if you reflect a little, you know the answer really. Take a look at what happened during the pandemic

Although the 1% is really the 0.1%. So it’s much, much worse.

Yes. Not intentionally of course. But yes.

I don’t see how your way is any more predictable or consistent than using UTC. What even is “local time”? Are you assuming they haven’t changed timezone since they created the data? Say…DST happened, or they drove over a border…?

Storing and manipulating in UTC is the most predictable and consistent because it is universal and unchanging. You only need to worry about “local time” at the point of displaying it.

So many things would be fucked by a TZ change that it very rarely makes sense to consider it.

You’re making a calendar app? Fuck it…some folks are gonna get confused…solved by simply emailing your users and telling them to reschedule shit because there’s kind of a big event going on that everyone knows about and has been planning for for years. Hell in all liklihood this is probably easily solved by simply doing a mass migration of events scheduled before the TZ change.

You’re coding for nuclear weapons? Maybe consider it. But probably not.

That is to say: there are ways to solve problems without resorting to writing the most complicated bullshit code ever seen. Unless of course you work on my team - in which case you’d be right at home.

Maybe they’re planning on dying before then? In which case they’re fine.

Your comment is a full throated endorsement of just working in UTC up until the presentation layer. Whether you intended that or not is another question.

There are no gay people in Russia.

Exactly how heavy is the accent? And are we talking parisian or quebecois?

Yeah…imagine actually getting in a gun fight and getting shot in the hand/arm only to then be completely useless.

Get training that lefty (or righty if you are a lefty!)

Yeah I’m curious as to whether there’s not merit in taking the imperfect codebase and improving it.

It’s easy to understand when you think most comments are similar to yours and don’t provide any insight as to why this might be a problem.

Maybe you could update your post and share your knowledge and experience with others, so that there are less people in the world who don’t see the problem.

I agree mostly, but forks don’t need to keep the upstream. They can go their own way.

Could they not add HEVC support? Or is there some technical limitation that meant starting from zero was a good idea?

Yeah but you must recognise that’s a luxury. There’s no going back because your circumstances allow it. If someone needs more storage but they can’t afford an SSD then there is going back - and I for one would choose loading screens over no screens.

There’s way too much snobbery around PCs imo. I want to encourage the world to be more compromising so that there is no societal pressure to buy this year’s gfx card for £1700 and this year’s CPU for £700 and this year’s newest nvme for £300 etc…etc…buy what you can and want to afford.

Yeah the US differs by a couple of weeks iirc

Honestly…spinning disks are good for anything. Yeah I don’t have any in my gaming rig but my NAS is only spinners. Cheap and fast enough.

It all comes down to how much money you have. If you can only afford spinning disks, then get them - and enjoy your gaming. If you can afford faster drives then great, good for you!

Because that was what the article was about…I actually am a Linux user and fan, folks just misreading the intentions of my post.

I would genuinely love to see it, because I’m stuck on mac hardware to do my job and I really hope one day they get crucified for their anticompetative practices so I can freely choose the OS my business uses.

I’d love to see you run xcode 16 code completion on your superior OS. Send me a link once you’ve uploaded the vid.

How you finding protonmail compared to Gmail? The thing I like about Gmail is I can find shit in my endless history…I also love the calendar integration.
