This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

UTC is a thing, commonly used by people who play Eve Online

Yeah, but it's not widely used by anyone other than computer geeks. Not surprised that there's a big crossover between computer geeks and spreadsheet pilots.

And military. Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

The military uses UTC? Not for regular timekeeping I'm guessing.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Military and IT are overrepresented in EVE.

Ah, I see.
