No, we are both dreaming butterflies.

We are ridiculously inconsistent in Canada. I've seen all 3 of the most popular formats here (2023-11-22, 11/22/2023, and 22/11/2023) in similarish amounts. Government forms seem to be increasingly using RFC 3339 dates, but even they aren't entirely onboard.

Huh, I've never noticed how much bloat was in ISO 8601. I think when most people refer to it, we're specifically referring to the date (optionally with time) format that is shared with RFC 3339, namely 2023-11-22T20:00:18-05:00 (etc). And perhaps some fuzziness for what separates date and time.

I like the idea of having a regulated, living, backwards compatible standard. Which seems to be what USB-C is now, for phones. The EU has soon to be active regulation that will make it a requirement for many things. Yet, it's not a single, set in stone standard, but one that's constantly being expanded (eg, version 3.2 and PD).

Of course, the regulation has to also be living. Eg, at some point, maybe there'll be a strong enough reason to allow another standard (by no means do I think USB-C will always make sense). And the regulation has to very carefully choose the standard.

That way we get the benefits of standardization (from actually everyone using the same format), but we aren't unreasonably crippling ourselves to do it.

Yeah. There's literally nothing you can put on a prompt that will truly work. It's still a good idea to prompt cause it will reduce how many people approve the prompt, but there is a significant number of people who don't read prompts at all and just insta-confirm.

At best, I think you could design it so there's no way for an app to request certain permissions themselves. They'd have to be opted in from the system settings and apps could only tell you how to do it. But that's a usability nightmare that is quite frustrating for legitimate usages. There's already some super sensitive permissions that do this. I think the ability to install apps, ability to display over other apps, and password managers for android.

I think you can actually solve that one with enough C4 :p

Or hired to do a show, since English isn't that specific. Being gifted someone dancing doesn't usually mean you own that person. It just means someone was paid to dance as a show for you.

Do custom ROMs still have issues with some apps not allowing them? It's been an eternity since I tried one and I don't know if it's a hard requirement, but at least when I did try it, I had (?) to root my device and my bank apps refused to work after that.

I miss those days. The utter craziness of people like Musk seems so... normal these days. He's so far off the deep end and yet, somehow has supporters and fans and far too many people willing to still use his shit.

It's my favourite for burgers. It lasts way longer without going bad (I find real cheese slices will go moldy before I can use them all), tastes better to me, and is meltier. The meltiness is really nice!

Same here. Heck, I often even get one day free shipping, which is insane.

The captions suck too. I subscribed to the same deal as you. I did it mostly to support the creators. But I basically never use it. The creator whose affiliate link I used to sign up? Their own captions are amazing on YouTube (human written with colour and positioning) and auto generated garbage on Nebula.
