You get used it it. Somehow the majority of the world where DST isn’t observed has no problem with an earlier sunrise. Makes it easier to be a “morning” person, if anything.

Well they don’t call it Donald Savings Trump for nothing. What better way to honor the god emperor than sacrificing time itself in his name?

(I gagged a bit just typing this, I’m sorry)

Daylight Saving Time just needs to be completely eradicated, it makes no sense in the modern day. The problem is that you have this disagreement over “which” time should be the default, either standard time or daylight time (which Canada/the US spend more of the year in than not).

IMO it should just be standard time, emphasis on the word “standard”. If you want more daylight hours in the evening for events and such, just start things an hour earlier.

I think it probably doesn’t matter what he wants, it only matters that the data exists at all. If the owner is not giving permission, that’s one thing. But I’m inclined to believe that those American 3-letter agencies aren’t the sort to ask permission.

All it takes is one disgruntled systems engineer who thinks they don’t get paid enough. An agency comes knocking with a sizable offer of cash, and they’ll get the backdoor they want.

E2E encrypted messages in Matrix contain more user metadata than alternatives like SimpleX, nothing scary but a MitM is able to see origin points, destinations, and times of messages. Server to server, if you’re using E2E encryption, it relies on trust that the other server is not compromised.

And it seems Matrix.org is not the best at security disclosures: https://soatok.blog/2026/02/17/cryptographic-issues-in-matrixs-rust-library-vodozemac/#matrix-response

Nothing federated is private, mind. Even with E2EE on in private rooms for specific messages, Matrix still relies on a constant information feed during use that can be used to deduce who is messaging whom and when, even if the content of the message itself is encrypted.

This is why it’s important to seed your online activity with deliberate false identifiers. That way, no one with bad intentions will learn that I work for the ICE office in Santa Fe, and always attend church every Sunday (when football isn’t on, of course).
