  • I get your point is to have a neutral 3rd party help oversee the elections, but having the UN do it would be one of the fastest ways to spark a civil war. A lot of Trump supporters very much believe the UN is one of the key players trying to bring the new world order.

  • For actually displaying dates to others, I agree that spelling out the month is absolutely preferred. But if space is limited, you're somewhat required to pick a very shortened format, and the US version is dumb, even if that's what you should use when displaying in that locale.

    But for working with dates on computers, year-month-day works great, because it's still human readable, is naturally sortable, and makes it easier for serialization.

    The first one is conventionally never year-day-month, and if anyone ever sent me a date of 2023-17-08, I would respond with, "What the hell?! Are you being evil on purpose?"

  • I was just thinking about this more, and what if Google decides to implement this on Google maps? Am I going to have to put a message up saying something like, "sorry, you can't view our outage map unless you use a browser that supports web integrity"?

    Because you're right, convincing the higher ups to let me switch to OpenStreetMap is probably going to be a losing battle.

  • I work on the website for a medium sized utility, and will definitely resist implementing this.

    I have been trying to convince my manager to let me switch to an authentication solution that supports webauthn, though.

  • I would love this!

    I hate going into a bathroom and needing to softly push/pull on each door lightly enough to avoid letting someone who may be sitting on the other side know I'm checking whether the stall is occupied.

    Edit: I know many stalls have the green/red slider, but those are often hard to read, and I can immediately see which stalls are empty with the glass ones, without needing to walk up close enough to read the dial.

  • Dog whistle literally just means coded language that an ordinary observer might not notice, but can be used to subtly identify other like-minded individuals.

    Not all dog whistles are necessarily bad (depending on perspective). I'm an ex-mormon, and one dog whistle is a tapir. Without more information, it is too subtle to really know for certain whether I just like tapirs, or that I'm actually ex-mormon. But eventually, two ex-mormons might see enough signals to finally confide in one another.

    A lot of the language you used is innocuous enough, and I didn't feel like it was at the level @hoodatninja claimed, but it definitely had a "Reddit was becoming too woke" vibe to it, without actually coming out and outright saying it, aka, a dog whistle.
