why not have a single global timezone and people change their local numbers.

e.g. if you life in hawaii you stand up at 11pm and if people in russia work until 8am.

so why not copy them?

oh, I totally agree with you.

In fact standards are made to be copied. That’s like the entire point of them.

People behind ISO 216 thought of everyting

how to make a good standard:

step 1: copy from DIN

Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.

inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better)

for drawing: try krita

if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop

thanks

offtopic: what is the significance of the reblogger in the screenshot? like, why didn’t they leave the top third of the picture in?

I don’t see how “scammers creating scam repos” [2] is newsworthy at all. At least the headline seems like a big nothing-burger to me.

farther down in the article are 2 interesting informations, namely this diagram [1] and the fact that scammers seem to have moved from pip to github, and then started to use forks to make their scam-clones appear more believable.

[1] https://apiiro.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Malicious-Package-Timeline.png

[2] 1000 guys make 1000 clones of 1000 legit libraries, and than create 1000 forks of their clones, to make them seem more legit than the original lib. 999 of each 1000 clones get autofiltered by github

–> 100010001000*1000/1000 = 1.000.000.000 infected repos(inkluding forks) and 1.000.000 (wihout forks).

so the number of 100.000 infected repos doesn’t seem to be interesting or unexpected in any way.
