On Using AI During FediWriMo
I used to have cats. I miss when they interrupted me while I was working on writing a story, blog post, or whatever. The distraction was always worth it.
Hopefully, for those who are still going, there aren't any major ongoing distractions in your way. (But a cat distraction would be good.)

Honestly, me too. I don't have any distractions (other than my dog barking at certain things), if any, at all.
How did you see this post? I'm baffled - it's not scheduled to be posted for another 15-20 minutes...
(I'm not upset - just confused...)
It came out at 8:00 pm PST (my time), and I thought that was exactly what you said.
Then potentially the time is set wrong there? I've just been talking to a couple of the PieFed devs, and they haven't seen anything like this before. (I have a screen shot that clearly shows your comment was posted before the post went live.)
Anyway, I'm signing up for accounts on a couple lemmy instances to see if I see the same thing happen again...
That is indeed strange. I can see what I can do without fingerprinting (as it automatically sets the time zone to UTC), so maybe that should fix it.
I don't think this has to do with your fingerprinting configuration... The system shouldn't be looking at your clock to determine what is or isn't posted. It should be looking at the clock on the instance, and the publication time set on the post.
If that's the case, the instance I use is in PST, so that's real strange.
Yeah, time zones shouldn't make a difference either... From what I can gather, the internal storage of the messages uses GMT, and then the instance adjusts for whichever timezone it's in... The only reason I'm using CST is that's what PieFed comes up with by default for me (which it does by looking at my system), because that's the time zone I'm in.
