Big thanks for detailed answer! My understanding is more clear now.

Looks bad enough. But what's TPM role in this?

 

There are some speculations about TPM uncontrollably sending data to manufacturer servers if a laptop has any Internet connection. Others say it's not intended/capable of that, like this answer for example (which is 5 years old though).

Lemmy, what do you say?

"international war sponsor" what a nice title, I think every company operating in US should have it!

Maybe bcause you use a cloudflare DNS? xD there are mirrors tho: https://git.kescher.at/dCF/deCloudflare/src/branch/master/readme/en.md

And those are the two options, unfortunately.

Exactly. Mozilla is better but not that much. What we really need is a 100% community-developed browser engine sponsored by several large companies that are independent from each other. But seems like it's too late, we're boiled frogs at this point. Although maybe these are the circumstances under which such an initiative could finally emerge.

Oh, this paragraph somehow escaped my attention 😯 Big thanks for pointing out!

Yeah, thanks, that's pretty much it! Except we cannot really make days of the week get locked to the days of our year because 365 is not divisible by 7, and we're adding 1 day to February every 4th year on top of that.

Ok, I've rephrased the edit section once more

Well, the question is not about the origin and sequence of weekday names, but about the first day in history of uninterrupted count of 7-day cycles which leads to today’s state of the week. Added this to the post.

 

I mean, if today i.e. is Sunday then someone long time ago should have said "Today will be Sunday" for the first time in a period from today that is multiple of seven. I was assuming that it was Pope Gregory XIII in October 1582, but looks like he is not. I failed in googling and duckduckgoing out the answer, so I ask for Lemmy's collective wisdom!

EDIT: so question is not about the origin of 7-day week and sequence of weekday names, but about the exact reference point (day) of today’s weekday countdown. From when have people stopped adding or ommiting any adjustment 'out-of-week' days (like in Babylon or Rome) and kept counting to seven till today? In other words, there should be a point exactly N x 7 days ago from which the 7-day countdown has not been interrupted. Or at least the earliest known day in history that everyone on Earth agreed upon as a reference point

EDIT 2: Solved by https://lemmy.world/comment/1852458 Thanks everyone!
