Also if you want a universal time you can already do that by offering a time in UTC. Anyway it is still fun and you still find occasional references to it on the internet and in software. Here is one of my #Casio F-91Ws using @joeycastillo's super cool #SensorWatch module to show a time in .beats.
But before I end this, one more bit of trivia, while we might not get a decimal time in the future, we had one in the past, that lasted longer and was used by more people than the French attempt (or .beats). China used decimal based time divisions long before the adoption of Western systems back in the 17th century. Until 1645, the Chinese measured time using units like the kè (刻), which was typically defined as 1⁄100 of a day, thus making it a true decimal unit. 🎉

Ok, here is a bonus joke for you:
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who do not.

@_elena did you maybe write a guide on what is there? What are the open source services worth hosting, how they differ and what are the benefits and drawbacks? Kind of a map for a new comers to orientat them selves?

@Daojoan I visited the OG Twitter headquarters in SF twice: in 2014 and 2015 and I remember a utopian-like atmosphere, with beautifully designed wide open spaces and a cafeteria to rival 5 star restaurants, with private chefs serving succulent, healthy free meals to employees.
These pictures send shivers down my spine

L’elenco di tutte le entità sanzionate delinea una mappa anche geografica dell’oil russo che copre il 51% della produzione di petrolio dell’ultimo anno. Nel testo Usa anche un passaggio: chiunque fa affari con queste aziende e raffinerie rischia sanzioni secondarie

@albertcardona NextCloud is AMAZING! It has fully replaced Dropbox, Google Docs and WeTransfer for me 😊

@Bastacosi la rabbia è una emozione, non una pulsione. In quanto tale implica la capacità di riconoscerla e di saperla riportare nella vita per la vita. Qui si vede la differenza tra una società che educa alle emozioni, che aiuta sin da bambini a riconoscerle e a saperle esprimere, e una società che invece non si prende cura della educazione emotiva né in famiglia né nelle istituzioni. La pulsione è un costrutto inconsistente che risale alla prima psicodinamica freudiana oggi del tutto superata

@_elena Most people need data sharing and backups and relief from subscription services. So I voted for NextCloud.
