I enforce ISO 8601 for the shared storage in my office. Before I got there, files were kinda stored in all kinds of formats, but mostly month first.

I tell the person under me she can store her files in her user any way she wants, but if it goes into shared storage, it's ISO 8601. I even have a folder in there called !Date format: YYYY-MM-DD Description to help anyone else remember.

My coworker has a friend that works for a company that sends her to Dubai fairly often. She gets paid a metric ton of money for it, apparently, but outside of work spends most of her time in her hotel room.

Well, according to the proposal, it doesn't send it to websites. It sends all your data to an attestation server, AKA Google probably, and the attestation server sends stuff to the website.

Sounds like my buddy configuring like 300 Skyrim mods over the course of a week until the game is thoroughly unplayable without a crash for longer than 5-15 minutes, then he'll play it for a couple days and do something else.

The best sorts are Top 6 or 12 Hours, or by New. I usually look at all 3. Hot is kinda broken and useless. Active isn't usually good at finding the best posts.

Probably about as many as ever, I think. They might have more instant feedback than previously on how popular their works are, but there are plenty of pre-internet creatives who pursued their art and had nothing to show for it even into their deaths. Many of the same self-justifications they used then can still apply now, even with the Internet around giving them feedback.

If you don't support it, then don't do business with any place that expects a tip. Or just get takeout where tipping isn't expected so much.

As long as the business gets your money, they're still winning whether you tip or not.

I have -1 communities in my instance because I made a test one and deleted it early on.

Today I learned ADP is franchised, assuming this guy was even real and not some sort of con artist.

One argument that might be made is that inconsistencies at the quantum level create an element of randomness that, while miniscule, could create massive cascading butterfly effects over the course of a large enough timespan. Whether those inconsistencies are enough to make more than a minimal difference in a single given lifespan is debatable at best, and the entire idea could be debunked if quantum physics was proven to be deterministic.

However, as it stands, we don't have accurate methods of predicting quantum behavior.

The article suggests that platforms could implement tools to obtain consent from strangers before posting content featuring them.

That's more terrifying than being randomly featured in something. Getting a notification that some rando filmed me asking for my consent would be way too much.

They did cite the original article from the EPA. The chemistry section that has details about the chemical itself reads like an SCP article. Anything of substance in it has been redacted, some entire pages are redacted.

I don't think the author knows what it is, either.
