I knew how much the 3C telco lobbying effort managed to take away the incredible NGI funding that had such a strong effect on #DigitalCommons (ref: https://www.ow2.org/view/Events/The_European_Union_must_keep_funding_free_software_open_letter) and those who fought that battle remember how many buzzwords and how much bullshit were in the policy documents… But I think this new https://euro-3c.eu is an achievement in buzzword stuffing. A bingo grid is not enough to fit it all.

it’s bullshit how you feel less depressed when you do stuff but you want to do less stuff when you’re depressed

For all the evil info scraping that Google have done to build Google maps. It often has a really good idea of what food is on the menu at a given cafe or restaurant. OSM just doesn't have this info, and certainly doesn't have the means to easily keep it up to date. Short of having businesses add that info themselves (if the OSM system can even accept a menu as a data item). I'm not sure how to make this work.

I want to stop using Google maps, alas until OSM can find me chocolate cake. :(

@cwebber @divyaranjan something to port to emacs canvas I suppose?

So, disclaimer aside, what does "best" mean here? I think the measure of a non-profit is its *impact*; does it change the world for the better? How many more birds are there in the area than before the non-profit started its work? How many people use a C compiler? How many heat pumps have been installed?

It’s dark o-clock out and people are being stubborn about straightforward things and I’m not in the mood….

I just wrote in reply:
"Hi ____,

I am sorry but I do not understand the logic here:

"The ask for each province and territory in Canada to get a unique zone for the purpose of providing a unique name is out of scope for the tzdata project.”

The provinces and territories are larger than most countries and many cover more than one time zone in north america. These are the jurisdictions that control time zones in Canada and have done since WWI. The timezones have not changed in 100 years, since the advent of computers.

We are simply asking tzdata to follow the law, so that we can follow the law.
This output from ‘date’ from my servers located in Port Alberni, BC, Canada, does not follow the law. Tzdata is the package that controls that output.

Please follow the law.

Cheers

I want the wife to leave me so I've been drinking salad cream straight from the bottle and making remarks about how refreshing Sally C is. Wife looks disgusted but not divorcing yet.
