@clacke Parts of my province and the one next door had snow last week. I've had frost. Warning about icy hwy on the radio as I was driving home a bit earlier tonight. Seems normal for here anyhow. Stockholm is 6d further north than me - I would have thought colder sooner really. TIL...
@clacke Weird! Mind you, we get so used to our home surroundings. A few years ago I was astounded to learn that there are places in the world where there are not litter fees on things like pop bottles or beer cans - any beverage container. Such refundable deposits have been in force where I live for over 50 years by now.
@clacke My province of British Columbia decided to eliminate it, but hasn't enacted the law yet. So stupid. Parts of my province don't do DST - the town of Creston never changes their clocks and, in the north east, Fort Nelson, Dawson Creek and Fort St. John don't use DST either. What a mess. The province of Saskatchewan doesn't use it and the Yukon territory doesn't either. Meanwhile, here on fedi, our friends in europe change back from DST a week earlier than we @lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net
@atomicpoet Brands are just as free as anyone to have their own instances and maybe they can convince their 'fans' to follow them. I'll bet e.g. apple could do it and find followers easily enough. Lots of fan bois for various things around. And then the brand absolutely controls the channel.
