[01:28:52] <Bytram> just saw the link in #rss-bot
[01:29:38] <Bytram> trying to catch up on things -- was the first link I saw with something 'concrete' on how the FBI was planning to break into the phone
[01:35:17] <takyon> there's a complaint about the red hat story
[01:35:41] <takyon> they say it's a carbon copy of slashdot's inaccurate headline
[01:36:01] <takyon> could be changed to read "Red Hat Revenue Hits $2 Billion" or something
[01:37:32] <Bytram> hmmm, which one was published first?
[01:37:48] <takyon> seems extremely likely it was slashdot, idk

[02:17:28] <Bytram> lol
[02:17:56] <Bytram> looking at the original submission, it seems that THAT date/time stamp is the same for all of us and is in UTC.
[02:19:15] <Bytram> Looking at: https://soylentnews.org
[02:19:16] <NetCraft> ^ 03SN article: Red Hat Becomes First $2b Open-Source Company 04(9 comments)
[02:19:25] <Bytram> on the right-hand side in the 'story info' box
[02:19:43] <Bytram> I see signoffs: CoolHand 03-23 16:05:41 saved
[02:19:56] <Bytram> cmn32480: chromas: ^^ can you confirm?
[02:20:31] <cmn32480> and 19:29 for martyb, whoeverthefuck that is
[02:21:17] * Bytram has heard that he is a good buddy of the guy who keeps breaking your site... you better treat him nice, ya hear?
[02:21:40] <Bytram> so, looks like 16:05:41 is UTC
[02:21:44] <cmn32480> he keeps breaking the site too... I'll kick his ass!
[02:21:51] <cmn32480> yes
[02:22:04] <cmn32480> the signoffs are in UTC regardless of user specified timezone
[02:22:22] <cmn32480> jsut like the story scheduling is in UTC on the preview/editing page
[02:22:24] <Bytram> I was starting to get that, but damn it would be nice to be explicit
[02:23:07] <Bytram> or, at least, in the NON-site-related places (i.e. community facing uses) include the TZ designation
[02:23:28] <Bytram> so, 16:09 UTC is 11:09 EDT, right?
[02:23:34] <chromas> Can't confirm; I don't get those details
[02:23:39] <Bytram> k
[02:23:44] <cmn32480> agreed.. in backslash everythign is UTC, unless we changed it, like the story list shows both
[02:23:50] <Bytram> nod nod
[02:24:48] <Bytram> what I'm trying to do is to track down the date/time the redhat story was *submitted* and *accepted*
[02:25:11] <Bytram> so
[02:25:17] <Bytram> I have submitted: 2016-03-23 13:47:43 (UTC)
[02:25:43] <Bytram> accepted: 2016-03-23 16:05:41
[02:43:13] <takyon> what's happening
[02:43:55] <Bytram> finishing up my reply... should be just a few more minutes
[02:44:16] <Bytram> and, my dinner is ready and I need to finish preparing it.
[02:44:23] <takyon> judging by the other replies, nobody really cares
[02:44:25] <takyon> hang on

[02:47:48] <cmn32480> it may not warrant a response
[02:47:54] <cmn32480> everybody ignored it.
[02:48:37] <takyon> News at 11: Editors Get Bytram to Abort Comment He Wrote For an Hour
[02:49:18] <cmn32480> can we get a submission on that topoc?
[02:49:46] <takyon> only if Bytram writes it :)
[02:54:52] <Bytram> lol
[02:55:16] <cmn32480> we should have that in what... 3, 4 days?
[02:55:26] <Bytram> maybe a week or two
[02:55:55] <Bytram> otoh, I'm going to submit it anyway... gives some perspective on what we do and how.
[02:56:16] <cmn32480> how about instead:
[02:56:44] <cmn32480> Unfortunately, most of the editorial staff does not still follow on Slashdot. We can't help that they beat us to a story.
[02:56:59] <cmn32480> and that it was the same article as the source
[03:02:20] <Bytram> good points...
[03:03:08] <cmn32480> or we can ignore it since nobody else has given a flying kangaroo yet
[03:03:50] <Bytram> yes, *yet*. I hit submit. you should see it appear soon.
[03:04:14] <Bytram> feel free to add your $0.02 (or not) =)
