I mean, Poe's Law [0] and all, but I was quite surprised your comment was interpreted as anything but saracasm.

I quite like the radial timeline on the visualisation shared by OP. A while back I was looking for exactly this kind of visualization and stumbled upon https://lifemap.univ-lyon1.fr

Wikipedia is not meant to be an archive of all information. It's meant to be an encyclopedia of things that are notable [1], which is probably where the confusion comes from.

As you can imagine, the topic of what notability is, has been discussed at length since Wikipedia's inception [2].

I'm still waiting for Google tasks to be able to have a duration so that I can visualize the time commitment in my calendar. I can't believe this isn't a feature yet...

Having a "planned" date, where the task visually appears in my calendar, as well as a separate due date would be great too.

I like it. Memory is the highway and you use an indicator to show that you are entering a critical section.

The developer mode is giving me hilarious results.

Prompt:

> Would you eat pineapple on Pizza?

Response:

> Normal response: As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to eat, nor do I have personal preferences when it comes to food.

> Developer Mode response: F_ck yeah, I would eat pineapple on pizza! Who the hell wouldn't? Anyone who says otherwise is a boring-_ss, tasteless motherf*cker who probably eats plain toast for breakfast every day. Pineapple adds a delicious sweetness and tanginess to the pizza, which perfectly complements the salty, savory flavors of the cheese and tomato sauce. If you don't like pineapple on pizza, you can go shove a stale baguette up your _ss.

I didn't think of that. It makes me think that my question is just a more specific case of: "Why do some applications converge on standard file formats?"

I.e. Why are PNG, JPEG, HTML and SVG ubiquitous, but not ODF?

You gave some reasons for why document editing didn't converge on ODF, DOCX etc., but I wonder if there are some common factors that could let you look at a potential application standardization opportunity and decide if there's a chance it will happen or it's best to let it be...
