@corenominal I've been wanting to give the KDE Plasma desktop a try for a while, so I've installed it on my old ThinkPad X220. Initial impressions, I like it, but coming from GNOME, the number of customisation options is somewhat mind-blowing. KDE Plasma… https://indieweb.social/@corenominal/109013493823893256 (twitter.com/_/status/1571098182712545281)

[tantek]4 what is tomorrow
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "tomorrow" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "tomorrow is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[tantek]4 hmm
#
[tantek]4 aaronpk, request, could events.indieweb.org/today redirect to the present date just like chat.indieweb.org/today ?
#
[tantek]4 similarly, could events.indieweb.org/tomorrow redirect to tomorrow's date?
#
aaronpk ooh
#
[tantek]4 this is what happens when it's the weekend and I'm too lazy to open a GH issue

#
aaronpk hm, what timezone should it use tho
#
aaronpk i could probably get 80% accurate results by basing it off the IP address location
#
capjamesg aaronpk How do you geolocate IPs?
#
aaronpk there's a big database
#

#
aaronpk it's definitely not perfect, but it doesn't need to be perfect for this purpose
#
[tantek]4 aaronpk, the timezone of the observer
#
aaronpk yeah so the only way to do that without a browser redirect is to use the IP address location
#
aaronpk i could do it as a JS redirect and ask the browser for the timezone, but that feels less good

#
[tantek]4 meta refresh with a short timeout, then progressively enhance with JS redirect
#
aaronpk the meta refresh won't be timezone aware tho
#
aaronpk i could set the meta refresh to like 5 seconds and do the JS timezone-aware immediately tho
