Cute animal in the logo.

And they also… No, that’s actually it.

FTFY

Americans would do anything before they take a look in the mirror, damn.

So as s simple example from the system I work with:

Customers can set rolling validities for alerts, e.g., Monday 8-10.

If a customer from a place which currently has DST puts in 8-10 say, CEST, in their browser (6-8 UTC) then they intuitively expect this to still be 8-10 their local time (7-9 UTC) when later winter time rolls around.

But, all data checked for alerts comes in in UTC and different users editing these validities are from different countries, timezones and summer time preferences.

Gets funky really quickly. Especially because the evaluation has to account for the DST shift essentially on a per-recipient DST when configured vs DST when evaluated basis. (This is genuinely a simple example, it gets worse 😁)

Nice! I’m a programmer, I hate daylight saving time with a passion. Feels like half of all bugs in IT somehow trace to it. 😑

Yes, which is an inherently element of federation. The whole idea is that single nodes can only police their own node, including who shares to them, which puts a heavy onus on what they want to accept automatically as they need to ensure they don’t replicate illegal or problematic content through the federation.

Question to those that use it: Does heliboard have a floating mode like GBoard/SwiftKey/FUTO have? I have a tablet and a full-screen keyboard just feels very weird once I got used to floating.

And if you live for rent, at least over here in Germany your landlords are obliged to replace them regularly, but like you say that just means they’ll replace them with previous ones that have been checked and had batteries replaced.

Ah yes, I remember a browser extension about finding coupon codes for the sites you’re on that absolutely didn’t end up being disgusting shit. 🤣

I can’t even decide what would be worse: AI-based shopping of general stuff, or shopping for AIs.
