I needed a basic timer on Linux and so in installed gnome "clocks" via the program "software". This works fine for that purpose, but when you open it it greets you with the time in your "current location". It gives me new york for some reason and I do not live in new york, and my time zone is set as America/Chicago so I don't know how it came to that conclusion. Naturally there is no setting exposed to change this. What.

@aeva I have a guess, do you want to hear it

I googled it, found a forum thread that describes sorta the same problem, but it seems to come down to it needing some location service I don't want, and there might be a setting for it in the gnome settings, and i don't want to have gnome settings installed and any ways my lunch break is done and I need to get back to work so that's as much attention as I can afford to give gnome Clocks's eccentric location divination.

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place okay, needing location services is one thing, whatever, but falling back to... NOT the system location if you don't have it?! that... what. that doesn't make sense. at all.
I get why people might wish to have a clock app that figures out what time zone you're in and displays the appropriate time. I do not get why it wouldn't fall back on the actual system set timezone. -

oh and specifically it's not just new york that it picks as the default location but Farmingdale new york, which according to wikipedia makes this a very reasonable default for exactly 8,466 people

@aeva is Clocks installed inside a flatpak (or snap) such that it cannot read /etc/timezone ?

@glyph should be the rpm version

@aeva GNOME is opinionated software, and in its opinion you live in New York

@glyph confirmed: it is the rpm version

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place I personally would have picked Yonkers, because as a kid I saw Hello, Dolly! a lot I guess and much like quicksand, figured Yonkers would be a much more important piece of my life than it has been.

@aeva I’m sure if you asked the developers they would suggest some simple workarounds, such as moving to New York

@aud personally I'd have picked Mexico City

@aeva bad guess on my part! I got curious though and fired up my Debian VM (did not realize you were on… fedora? redhat?) and launched Clocks to see what its default behavior is, and this is hilarious:

@aeva even better when I click on "Add World Clock…"

@glyph see, having nothing populated by default would be reasonable, but I have a "current location" clock I cannot change or remove there.

@aeva i know that pain. If you so not like gnome-settings installed, how about dconf and then using dump and load?

@bws I'll probably have to, but idk what I'm looking for

@jalefkowit @aeva this is a new philosophy I have invented. it is called "omakase"

Non c'è doppia morale.
C'è solo che io non voglio parlare di Palestina, tu quando parli di qualsiasi cosa arrivi sempre là.
Non parlo di tutte le guerre, come te del resto.
Mi interessa la guerra in Ucraina.
Sarà perchè semplice schierarsi tra la #Russia, che per le manie di grandezza del suo dittatore vuole ricostruire, opprimendo altri popoli, l'impero sovietico ed ucraina che si difende.Io sono per aiutare UKR a difendersi, finchè vorranno farlo.

Come ti ho scritto i debiti sono sempre stati fatti.
Ed anche ques'anno niente impedisce di farli per le voci di bilancio che si vuole.
Quindi la tua info che i debiti per capitoli diversi dalla difesa siano PROIBITI è falsa.Che poi non si facciano è scelta politica, che come ti ho detto, è criticabilissima.
Ma non c'è impedimento.

@alisynthesis @sparseMatrix kiwix does have support for other websites, including github.com/openzim/zimit / zimit.kiwix.org/#/ to scrape generic websites (with some limits)
I don't see opensourceecology on library.kiwix.org/ , but the license looks compatible, and there is always github.com/openzim/zim-request…

La nostra solidarietà a Sigfrido #Ranucci

The other day I turned on the radio and the host was giving what sounded like a sermon about “growth” and how everyone loves it because it improves life quality and makes things cheaper. I already avoid mainstream news because it’s all one-sided and shallow, but now I’m getting sermons too.
Is there any way to listen to radio content filtered by topics I actually want, without having to manually build a playlist every day? Maybe podcasts or a feed aggregator plus with TTS to read it in real time?

The #BSDCafe #Mastodon instances are now using #Valkey as "redis" servers.
This because the upcoming v4.5.0 will need at least #Redis 7, while KeyDB was supporting the 6.x feature set.
