YYYY.MM.DD and 24 hour for sure.

Everyone using UTC? Nah. Creates more problems than it solves (which are already solved, because you can just lookup what time it is elsewhere, and use calendars to automatically convert, etc.).

I for one do not want to do mental gymnastics /calculation just to know what solar time it is somewhere else. And if you just look up what solar time it is somewhere, we've already arrived back at what we're already doing.

Much easier just looking up what time (solar) time it is in a timezone. No need to re-learn what time means when you arrive somewhere on holiday, no need for movies to spell out exactly where they are in the world whenever they speak about time just so you know what it means. (Seriously, imagine how dumb it would be watching international films and they say: "meet you at 14 o'clock", and you have no idea what solar time that is, unless they literally tell you their timezone.)

Further, a lot more business than currently would have to start splitting their days not at 00:00 (I'm aware places like nightclubs do this already).

Getting rid of timezones makes no sense, and I do not understand why people on the internet keep suggesting it like it's a good idea.

Most people would agree yes, they should be pardoned. I'm not against the idea of pardoning completely, just the idea of it being a single person questionable, since it seems a bit risky.

Someone could have a political opponent killed and then just pardon the assassin.

Doesn't seem like a sensible thing to have around.

Am I the only one who watched the video, and due to nostalgia upscaling my memory, could hardly tell any difference other than frame rate.

I should go look at the normal game 😅

Because it makes getting an intuitive sense of what solar time it is somewhere harder.

Can I call my grandma in a different country? Hmm what time is average midnight there. Okay 8 (so far, same thing as looking up a timezone), and it's 18:00 now, so 10 hours after midnight, which is like my 23:00. Needlessly complicated with extra steps for the average person.

Sure, you can say, I'll call you X and that will mean the same thing everywhere, but does not have any information about solar time. And these days, it's automatically converted if you use a calendar (which you should). This is the point of programming, to make the USERS life easier, not the dev. The end is more important than the means, I think we can agree.

Or: what time is it where my grandma is? Okay, cool, I have a sense of what that is immediately after knowing the answer.

There are reasons we do things this way. Working roughly to solar times has more benefits than being able to say a time and it mean the same moment everywhere.

I say we leave things the way they are, works okay.

The place I work in, reply all is the standard, and you pick your recipients diligently.

It's really annoying when you cc people and then the person only responds to you, and you have to forward it to everyone else cc'd.

Luckily it's only external people who don't reply all.

I'm of the strong opinion that this ought not to be a thing. Even if you stop paying rent, they can kick you out, but there's a process they need to follow (in Australia anyway).

These software locks means they can do whatever they want, even if they're in the wrong, and then you're shit out of luck until you can take them to court, if you even have the time to do it...

It's so wrong, because of the power imbalance I really think this kind of thing should be railed against at all costs.

Google should not install this shit by default, and sneakily as well.

Hero, I just have to get around to doing it 😅 (I will, but grumble, grumble this is why most people don't bother battling for privacy)

I am a serial complaint lodger, just that I'm much busier than I used to be. I may do it once I figure out what's going on with it on my phone.

Well, I would say this is what small claims is for.

Should the bank should have keys to a mortgaged house? When you don't own the house outright yet? I'm gonna go with no.

And second, why is it installed by default on all phones? Really not cool.

Hilarious right?

As a non-software engineer, feels weird that they're making this distinction.

I don't have much to do with engines either.

I take engineer to mean: designs stuff that does some task, involving SOME kind of calculation.

Visual designer: not an engineer

Piping designer: not an engineer (although this one felt weird, that's what the piping designer corrected me to say, so)

Chemical engineer: ya

Mechanical engineer: yeah

Software engineer: totally different flavour, but still yeah

Language is what we want it to be.

Web designers presumably still need to script things, I reckon that counts 👍

It is absolutely wild that it's so bad over there, that you're gushing over a service that should just be provided by the government in the first place (and is, in most developed countries)
