On the internet all times shall be given in UTC to avoid everyone having to ask "what timezone"?

Thus spake the octopus

clock format nitpicking 

@codl yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ is the one true way to format times

After some experimentation, here's what flavours of cat food hedgehogs like and don't like to nom on (sample size 4(?)):

Like:
Chicken
Lamb

Don't like:
Beef

They'll eat some of the beef, but certainly not with as much gusto as the chicken and lamb

@Jo "Of course it's in line of sight, I'm looking right at it!"

"ah, but is a tunnel 100m wide free of any kind of obstruction?"

Yeah, I know viking helmets with horns are "historically inaccurate" and there's "absolutely no evidence of them in the era" but you can't tell me that no scandinavian got drunk one night and decided to stick some horns on a hat

computerfairi.es doesn't have a CEO

@Baxter Pretty much, yeah

Here at computerfairi.es we've got a list of instances that we choose not to federate with (practical offshoot, you can't talk to people on them, but they also can't harass you)

Also each instance has its own rules, so what's okay on one instance might be not be okay on another

You can see the list of instances we block and the rules here: computerfairi.es/about/more

Request for opinions: timezones in web apps, geolocation by IP address 

@gcupc@glitch.social UTC default, allow the user to change it would be my pick
