Poor Paul Eggert, nobody pays attention to him when he changes tzdata, now half of Canada's calendars are off by one.
If someone was invading @elonmusk's neighbor's home, starting fires and beating the people inside, he would turn off their fire alarms and tell the family to lie down and let the intruders have the house.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontariβio, which, appropriately, means βthe lake is beautiful, the lake is bigβ.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario β then, now and always.
As with Putin, the fact that some people take pride in and succeed at having a system and country not like theirs gives Trump and Vance so much cognitive dissonance that they are narcissistically driven to stamp it out by any means necessary.
I think we should resurrect literate programming, where humans write the text bits and LLMs write the code bits.
Finally saw That Movie. Enjoyed it. I think so much of the brouhaha surrounding it is silly. The story is so ΟΞΏΞ»ΟΟΟΞΏΟΞΏΟ, as it were, that any one perspective on it is just one slice through the fractal.
