I agree with you, with the caveat that back in the days there was a very clear quality gap between open-source software and proprietary software.

ISO8601 is much much looser than RFC3339:

It's pretty clear that you didn't actually watch the video... The video has nothing against TADC...

No, I thing you might be confusing it with Tampa.

You do have a choice, it just happens to be rather desynchronized. It happens at the voting booth.

Besides being wrong about tire/tyre, I also really like how you are completely wrong about "Trolleys" being something you have too go to San Francisco for... And that the OP didn't even talk about "Trolleys" , but "Trams"...

First of all... There's plenty of different types of Trolleys around the world, like:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shopping_trolley https://www.nationalclubgolfer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Stewart-Golf-R1-S-Push-Trolley-3-2.png

But now that we are specifically talking about Trams, they also exist in:

  • Melbourne (159 miles)
  • Kyiv (144 miles)
  • Saint Peter's burg (127.7 miles)
  • Cologne (121 miles)
  • Berlin (119 miles)
  • Moscow (114 miles)
  • Milan (113 miles)
  • Budapest (107 miles)
  • Silesian Interurbans (106 miles)
  • Vienna (110 miles)

Just to name a few of the 403 cities around the world that operates a tram network. And comically enough, the San Francisco doesn't even get near any of the above with it's measly 5.16 miles of track. Even Los Angeles (82.7 miles) and Dallas (96 miles) has San Francisco beat.

Even if all support is dropped, everything is running on open source software, so nothing is going to stop working as a result of dropped support.

Finding replacements might become tricky at some point though.

It doesn't really matter whether Zigbee was merged into something else, because it simply doesn't have any technical means of phoning home. It simply can't access the Internet.

There's no intermediate corporate owned servers, there's no proprietary software.

So it doesn't really matter what the corporation does because it can't affect my "smart" devices.

That depends on the kind of "smart".

I have a bunch of IKEA "smart" light bulbs, but they are connected through a Sonoff USB Zigbee dongle. And all of it is controlled through the open-source zigbee2mqtt and home-assistant.

No one, but myself and my family, have any control or ownership of any of those devices.
