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 at least you're not ranting on wayland 😃

@aeva My network gateway thinks I’m in the middle of a lake in Saskatchewan. 🤷♂️

probably also worth noting: the purpose of the timer was I wanted to eat my lunch and draw a picture within 30 minutes, and because the application contained a timer and an irritating bonus distraction my lunch break ended up being eating my lunch and touching Linux. the idea might come back to me again but I don't remember what I wanted to draw
LIES PROGRAMMERS (who wrote the Gnome Clocks app) ALL BELIEVE PART 2: you can only ever possibly have a need to have one timer active at a time
EDIT: pretend I'm on one of the cool mastodon instances where I can apply formatting to all my text and I used it to cross out the statement above
LIES PROGRAMMERS (who wrote the Gnome Clocks app) ALL BELIEVE PART 2: it is extremely obvious that I would click a cross on the title bar to add a timer instead of close or maximize the window

the baffling location setting thing went away since I last opened this app, so that is progress at least

@aeva God, Gnome Clocks is so painful. I know Gnome as a whole has a reputation of "what if we brought bad phone UI to computer?" but Gnome Clocks is so out of the "Gnome UI Overton Window" that I'd imagine even the most staunch Gnomers would look at it with disappointment. Not even the worst Android clock apps are that bad.
I'm on KDE at home and their clock app is just... So good. It's no TimeR Machine but it allows multiple simultaneous timers, alarms, the whole shebang with nice clean UI.

@aeva oh yeah, it's cool how the timer quietly sneaks the "+" into the title bar only after you have your first one running.
"You don't need this option at this exact moment, so we'll hide it." Once you do finally need it, *your prior knowledge of this interface is working against you*. Finding the new button is like proofreading your own writing - your internal model dominates your ability to take in what's in front of you.

The stories that keep me up at night 😜

Good morning Fedi friends! 🌈✨
Made it back to France and now I’m at my in laws’.
I forgot a wired keyboard at my parents’ in Italy and I only have a wireless keyboard and mouse with me, which were never paired to my Raspi. Mother-in-law came to my rescue and gave me an old wired mouse… and with #Ubuntu’s accessibility setting and on screen keyboard I was able to log in and connect my gear. Ouf!
Happy #Linux / #Raspi week to me (till I get home to Paris) 🐧
Now I had some powerful epiphanies yesterday, with my rickety Sharkey instance.
Sad to say that because it locked me out, and recovery codes aren’t working either, its fate is now sealed. I lost all trust in it and won’t spend any more precious time on it.
But this ONLY relates to my self-hosted Sharkey, which has been cursed from the start, not the software itself, which is WONDERFUL.
I’ll stop putting my energy on it and carry on with my plan (a quiet corner of the Fediverse) on @ruud’s calckey.world — which worked perfectly for me last year, when I was test driving Sharkey. Time to resurrect the account and set up monthly recurring donations.
Anyway, wishing you all a fantastic day!

In piedi ma non sveglia, cercherò di dare una forma a questa giornata. Ma per la prima volta in due mesi sto saltando un'intera settimana di allenamento... lunedì quando riprendo ci sarà da ridere.
