 An opinion piece was recently published in Wired magazine titled ["The Hidden Dangers of the Decentralized
 Web"](https://www.wired.com/story/the-hidden-dangers-of-the-decentralized-web/). It makes a lot of basic factual errors, conflates valid reasons to mistrust centralized social media with antisemitic conspiracy theories and grifts, and somehow even manages to make basic security practice out as conspiratorial. I'm not all that interested in giving it the time of day, except for one paragraph that stuck out to me.

 > While the platforms offered by Meta and Alphabet are certainly not without issue, it is hard to deny the convenience of their established existence, which makes it possible to communicate, be entertained, shop, and more all in the same place. By contrast, users of decentralized platforms will need to download a slew of apps for everything they want to do online, because these features will no longer all exist in one place.

 Recently ran into an issue at work that we couldn't find a direct answer to anywhere on the Internet (thanks to the terrible state of search in the modern day after Search Engine Optimization and Large Language Models have screwed it over, but that's another topic...) relating to three-letter abbreviations for timezones.
 
 Long story short, use canonical timezone names [from tzdb](http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~eggert/tz/tz-link.htm) like "America/New\_York" instead of abbreviations like "ET".

 The abbreviations like EST, CDT, CET, BST... mostly don't work any more, and for good reasons. Is MST Malaysian Standard Time (UTC+8) or North America Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7)? They might be standardized within a given nation's borders, but not worldwide. So, if you run across an error that looks like *this* when trying to parse a date:

 It might be slightly overblown to be quoting an Italian communist imprisoned by Mussolini to criticise the decisions made by corporate social media this past month or so, but given their contributions to fascism globally, maybe it isn't... Either way, it has been interesting to see them all seemingly competing for 'worst decision'.

 Reddit shut off most of the clients that other people did *for* them, making all that effort and work rather pointless, and now [blind Reddiors can't moderate r/blind](https://www.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/14nzwkm/) despite assurances that accessibility apps wouldn't be affected and the accessibility of the official app would be improved.
 
 Twitter, not to be one-upped, has now disabled the ability to view anything while not logged in, and paywalled actually being able to use the site. Ironically, even [the announcement](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1675187969420828672) isn't viewable. 600 tweets a day is, well, pratically nothing? On the Fediverse, our friends who actually post daily (sometimes to stream of consciousness levels) and have conversations average about 45-60 posts a day. We aren't particularly active anywhere and still manage to hit an average of 9.
