It’s only bad when used incorrectly. Just store time in UTC and convert it to timezone of your setting to present it. Most modern languages offer a library that makes it just one more line of code. Not only it’s then clear and unambiguous, it supports all timezones.

Seriously? A mouse for coding?

Was Brexit really worth it?

What a tragic accident

Funny that as a non-native I’m less likely to make such a mistake than natives. At some point I had to learn the basics or something. Not that I don’t make mistakes

A carpet

Just wait for Plasma 6.0, it’s already there available out-of-box (except auto creating new workspace for fullscreen window)

It’s a feature that Microsoft was very late to rip off from other platforms. I’ve been using it in different Linux/UNIX graphical environments for ages.

You can think about it as a way to organize your windows by splitting them into groups. If you work on multiple things and require to have many windows opened simultaneously, you can make your desktop less cluttered. You can then switch between the desktop by swiping laptop touchpad (with 3 or 4 fingers), or hitting some keyboard combo.

I also use them kind of instead traditional task switcher. I’ve got one browser window maximized on workspace 1, fullscreen terminal on 2, mail and messengers on 3, even more apps on 4. It’s like multi monitor functionality with just one screen.

By the time PiS might not have their propaganda tools like TVP anymore.

It also looks like no other party wants any form of coalition with PiS. 3 other parties might form some coalition at least initially to remove the damage PiS caused in last 8 years and improve situation with public media, courts…

Oh, and we’ve got record voter turnout, it’s higher than 1989.

So far it looks like a whole lot more people attend elections this time comparing to 2019 or even presidental election in 2020. I was surprised how long the queue is to my voting point, so long that it takes an hour or more to vote.

It’s like in Polish - the word “żyd” (jew) has negative connotations, and maybe it becomes rare in usage these days, but the negative meaning sticks. It’s still an offense to call somebody that.

We have more words like this (cygan, rumun) that on its own are official words for etnicity or nationality, but carry some negative meaning. We also have dedicated words to call many different groups in offensive ways.

However languages happen organically and they reflect how people speak, not the other way that there’s some sort of entity that dictates how the entire population should speak (although reformations are possible).

Funny how people try to regulate that by law. We had such case in Polish when few years ago feminists tried to change how we call professions that are typically assigned with men, but some women are also performing them (police officer, firefigter, ministry etc). Some of those forms didn’t make sense completely due to semantics, some were dropped from the language decades ago and sound archaic or unnatural, the lobby lead to memes at the very most.

I imagine Russian-speaking Ukrainians will have even more and more motivation to switch to Ukrainian language as shit like that happens. Even if only for the sake of pissing Russians off and cutting out cultural connections with them

Exactly. I wouldn’t mind that at all. Instead I have open space with one desk close to one another and people around me have meetings all day long and they just talk to somebody constantly. There are not enough conference rooms for everyone, so there’s nothing one could do about it. It annoys me so much that I prefer to stay at home to work, even though I would definitely prefer office if it just wasn’t so noisy and annoying.

Even though I agree… please don’t. We don’t have opposition to choose from. If we’ll be stuck with PiS for next 5 years, I’ll be probably leaving this shithole :/

Interesting. I live in Poland and liquor advertisements are illegal here, in fact all alcoholic beverage commercials are banned except for beer (I think even with that there used to be some restrictions that in tv they can be only aired after 23:00 or 11 PM, I’m not sure if it’s still the case). According the law definition, it should also apply to social media and internet in general, but it might or might not be completely regulated (yet?). In general however, I don’t see such adverts and even beer adverts are quite rare, to the point that I forgot they could exist, just like cigarettes commercials.

Last beer advert I remember was some some billboard with 0% Free beer with raspberry flavor or whatever

No TV and no Netflix here. Does YouTube count?

It’s learning from humans, that’s to be expected
