I never would. And never have.

When you realize they actually have an adverse incentive to support indiscriminate bombardment…

“Fanatical” would be a word to use there maybe.

Years

YYYY

±YYYYY

ISO 8601 prescribes, as a minimum, a four-digit year [YYYY] to avoid the year 2000 problem. It therefore represents years from 0000 to 9999, year 0000 being equal to 1 BC and all others AD, similar to astronomical year numbering. However, years before 1583 (the first full year following the introduction of the Gregorian calendar) are not automatically allowed by the standard. Instead, the standard states that “values in the range [0000] through [1582] shall only be used by mutual agreement of the partners in information interchange”.[20]

To represent years before 0000 or after 9999, the standard also permits the expansion of the year representation but only by prior agreement between the sender and the receiver.[21] An expanded year representation [±YYYYY] must have an agreed-upon number of extra year digits beyond the four-digit minimum, and it must be prefixed with a + or − sign[22] instead of the more common AD/BC (or CE/BCE) notation; by convention 1 BC is labelled +0000, 2 BC is labeled −0001, and so on.[23]

If you’re being handed a string 2022424-12-19T14:44:39Z, and told it’s ISO-8601, you should be able to figure it out. Really, a decent parser should be able to recognize that on its own (just use {4,} instead of {4} in regex). It does mean that non-hyphenated YYYYMMDD shouldn’t be used (I typically never see them encoded that way) - but even if you did, you’d just do (\d{4,})(\d{2})(\d(2}).

Planes crashing out of the sky wouldn’t have been inconceivable. Say you have two air traffic control systems that are synchronizing - one handles dates with a modulo 100 (00-99, i.e. 1900-1999), another handles them in epoch time. All of a sudden the two reported time + positions of two different planes don’t match up by a century, and collision projection software doesn’t work right. I’ve seen nastier bugs than that, in terms of conceptual failure.

At no point is that a theory about a “conspiracy” either, IDK why you’re bandying that term around.

Yeah, I’ve eaten it, there’s an aspect to it you may not have dialed into yet. Hard to describe.

Big ol eye roll.

Not about wimpiness or grimacing at the picture. More about gradually recognizing that you’re just eating pieces of animal flesh. For me, that went hand in hand with studying biology & med textbooks, about a decade ago. Not irrational, I’m not going “it’s icky”, it’s me knowing what the chemical composition is, where it came from, what it is, and going, “yeah this is fucking nasty”.

Get enough of this type of content and it will turn you vegan.

That’s a way taller order than you might think. Docker has loads of kernel level integration that FreeBSD isn’t interested in supporting, also there are separate techs for similar purposes, like jails.

Can you post something besides partisan ragebait

Lemmy’s been a lot better than reddit for this in my experience. On reddit you couldn’t even get a sentence out.

Well, there’s having to put an unconstitutional demand violating the 1st/4th amendments on paper and sending it out to a company, and then there’s just being able to log in as the admin and look for the information directly. Anyway, when I say “public good”, I mean in a pretty loose sense, I prefer to see actual maintenance/management done by something like a non-profit rather than a gov agency.

I was about to write something in my comment to the effect of, “but let’s not even talk about the government running it”. Could end up like PBS, could just as easily end up like USSR/North Korean/Chinese media. Imagine Reddit but, instead of spez, it’s Joseph McCarthy, or Donald Trump, with the power to identify and criminally sanction users.

The only really long term viable model is a donation model. Ad tracking is abusive and the legality is waning, and subscription models for what’s basically a public good are fucked.

Certs have been free for years.

Lemny is a “paid product” by your definition, but is still open source…

Everyone in FOSS hates Red Hat…you been reading the news?

And then

4. Network effects matter, supporting open source software promotes its adoption and lowers barriers to entry for technological literacy and accessibility, accelerating the technological and social development of humanity

Although that doesn’t have the same ring as “fuck these dumb cult members because i don’t care and they shouldn’t either”.
