@strypey Thanks for revisiting the topic, I do fully agree with you this time. -

@heluecht @wmd @rysiek "Your package will arrive on Friday" is one the most unactionable piece of information you can get about a package, and as such I don't believe we should organize the global time structure around it.
Besides, I'm getting more precise delivery estimates from the USPS, like this: "March 14th between 9:45am and 1:45pm". Please note how the times aren't even visually contiguous inside the same day with the 12-hour notation, so there could be a date change in the middle of the day and it wouldn't change much to this particular estimate string. -

@heluecht @wmd @rysiek They currently exist for the sole reason of having Tea Time be 5 o’clock anywhere on the globe and as a result they add complexity to time and space management.
In practice it wouldn’t matter whether you go to work at 10, 19 or 4 o’clock. -

@sean Ha ha, it says "426 years ago" on Friendica. 🤦♂️
We added literal leap years. -

@sean Also the full date and time display is confused, look at the time zone information: "Wed, 13 Mar 1602 22:05:18 -0456" -

@strypey By reducing economic inequality. Not everybody has the same stake in our society, and this leads to the existence of vastly different and irreconcilable social paradigms. Unfortunately no teaching is going to change that. -

@silverwizard You'll be interested to know that my standing fluctuates way more than I care about it. -

@silverwizard It isn't so much inconsistency as volatility. -

I was ready for my kid to never tell me how he felt about me, but I wasn't ready for them to give me live updates on my standing in their Top 3 Grownup list. Turns out imitating a chicken with my kid's arms bumped me one place, who would have guessed? -

It still is jarring to me that in our society that's entirely based on mutual trust, some people's professional activity is to publicly lie, and not all of these activities are illegal. -

@heluecht @tio On the other hand, constraints foster creativity, so there is some value in arbitrary limits.
Thanks for the nod, it's always appreciated! -

I didn't know you could do that! On the other hand, what can they do, fire you? You already quit twice! -

Listening to hip-hop with the window cracked open, it's impossible to guess whether the police siren sounds come from the music or outside. #OnlyInNYC -

@deutrino I don't have an academic answer to this but pragmatically it seems to boil down to "No", although my perception is warped by the historical fact that capitalist countries have stymied any remote attempt using economic sanctions, military threats and covert ops actions including assassinations and plotting coups so we probably will never know.
At a smaller scale, communes seem to be held together around central figures who started it, and crumble when they move on/pass away. Tribal people living outside the capitalist world also have central authority figures, so I don't think that you can completely remove the central planning.
Profit motive or not, hierarchy still is the most effective way of governing any kind of society, from tribes to video game guilds and countries.
