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.

That sounds sensible on first thought…but it’s easy to find slurs that are for non-oppressed people’s.

The French, for example.

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!)

Nah was just a shitpost tbh, I wouldn’t read much into it.

I don’t know why but I feel like anything in water would spoil faster…but I have no evidence or even a theory as to why this might be. Perhaps you, keeper of the water carrots, could enlighten me as to why they keep longer?

Better is subjective. If one measured the merits of the language on its rich cultural history, then British (as usual) wins. However, if it’s measured by accessibility for simpletons then the US (as usual) wins.

What’s to wrap your head around? It’s 6.35kg or 12lbs.

Importantly it is only ever used to measure the weight of humans

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.

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!
