    Why not just pick a starting time, then count the seconds that have passed since then?

    That addresses the calendar problem, which is another pet peeve of mine. Oh, where do I even begin. The calendar system is just the next level of curses and barrels of rotting worms.

    At least time units have fixed, but inconvenient conversion multipliers. Months and years involve numbers that aren’t even constants!

    Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, someone reminds you about time zones. That’s just pure cosmic horror.

    It’s a miracle we don’t trigger a nuclear meltdown every week while using a system like this.

      Using tabs for document management (f.e. Browsers, Text-Editors, ...) was a mistake. It would be way better if every document (website, text-file, image, console, ..) was in its own window, centrally managed by an intelligent window manager of the OS that allows quick and easy search between all documents like with a full-text searchable exposè-like view.

      Using tabs for document-management was a bad but necessary workaround because Windows is a horrible window manager (despite its name, ironically).

      Tabs work best when there is a fixed amount of them (Like with game settings: Controls, Audio, Video, Gameplay).

      I could go on for quite a while on this, but I think this is where I stop.

        The split between "Today" and "Tomorrow" is at midnight, not when one sleeps/wakes up.

        This comes up often after midnight when my girlfriend asks me about "tomorrow". Why discuss breakfast for tomorrow when we still haven't had breakfast today??

          People who don’t eat the pizza crust have no backbone and won’t survive the zombie apocalypse. And even if they do, they won’t be let into my post apocalyptic fortress, because they have no backbone which they have proven by not eating their pizza crusts.

          In every job there is pleasure and pain. If you cannot stomach some doughy stumps or find a way to interleave the crust of your slice with the center of your next slice, you and I won’t be friends.

            I eat crust, but I never thought to include crust in my next slices activities.

              Must disagree. If today ended at midnight, then my streak of watching at least one episode of a TV show every single day would have been broken years ago. No, today ends when I go to sleep, even if it's at noon on what is your tomorrow

                It’s always been my philosophy that if crust really is such a chore, put it orthogonally on top of the next slice - there’s always too much cheese and tomato in the first mouthfuls of a new slice anyway.

                  Search engines should not use locational data including IP address to provide "more relevant" results. Checking for restaurants or weather forecast? You should have to manually add the relevant search terms. Want results in a specific language? You should have to manually apply this filter.

                  Convenience is not worth the potential harm of locationally biased search results.

                  For example, where I live is like White Nationalist Central Station. My search results are thus far more likely to net me results with a pro-US/nationalist skew, thus potentially entrenching or normalizing harmful beliefs.

                  Whenever I've tried bringing this up with Techlords, I get a feeble, "B-but then you couldn't say 'restaurants near me' UnU" and like ... good? It's not like it's hard to type city and state in the search field.

                  I've never found a search engine that even has this as an option. Even Sear XNG instances net results that are clearly aligned with the location of the instances server.

                  A Kagi dev even lied to me when I was looking into that as an alternative, saying they don't use location, when it's pretty easy to determine that they do.

                  I also don't want a "good" algorithm. I also don't want to see big corporate sites prioritized either. If some backwoods nobody has a site that's more relevant, show it to me. I feel like pre-Google search engines were better, but that's another vent for another day.

                  Now where did I put my false teeth and walker???

                  With duckduckgo you can disable the country filter thingo to get international results, and you can also change it to another country

                    All dates should be formatted according to ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).

                    Months should be adjusted so September, October, November, and December are the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month respectively (so the literally meaning of the names accords with their actual meaning).

                    Not cleaning your kitchen knife after sharpening is trashy and contaminates your food with metal shavings.

                      Related: 12-hour AM/PM time, at least in written language, is dumb compared to 24-hour time. I don't want to have to infer from context if 8 is morning or evening. Build that disambiguation into the written time, ffs!
