      There was a timezone issue with their code. Mastodon, in the mastodon way, found a way to contact the site owner and they got everything fixed. People can be great, when given the chance.

      probably just didn’t take into account time zones so it’s different based on the offset (likely to UTC)

    Something I find funny is that a lot of people who don’t know Star Trek that well and have only seen a couple of episodes assume Star Trek is the super optimistic view of humanity that is unrealistically positive about humanities future when if you actually look at the timeline in the 2000s and 2100s Star Trek is actually seriously apocalyptic. Humanity doesn’t turn to a good future out of some inevitable human kindness, it tries violence over and over again until some crazy guy makes a warp engine out of the rubble of destroyed civilization and the Vulcans show up.

      It appears to be using JavaScript to count down, and JavaScript uses a browser’s local time by default rather than something sensible like UTC. Someone else has noticed it in the Mastodon thread: https://aus.social/@USSJoshuaNorton@trekkies.social/111656784005786289

        I mean wouldn’t any sensible developer just use one of the many npm packages that do count down from UTC?

        Which would also be using JavaScript?

        Sorry I don’t mean to quibble it’s just that imo JavaScript has nothing to do with this faulty countdown, it has to do with the developer overlooking edge cases.

          the developer overlooking edge cases.

          I take every opportunity to share my favorite Computerphile episode: The Problem with Time & Timezones.

            I have seen this episode.

            That is EXACTLY why I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t just use an NPM package that already has all that stuff sorted out. Could you imagine trying to code to deal with different time zones?

            Forget about it.

          Wouldn’t those also reflect an error in the local system clock if it was not set correctly?

      Maybe they coded it from the day Cisco and Bashir arrived in 2024, not the actual date I’d the riots.
