Ukraine? That's certainly been absorbing a lot of my attention (but it
seems like it's going to go on for quite a while now).

Not to mention AU/NZ; countries have different rules (if they have DST at 
all); I'm always amused by people who think that their country's local 
customs (not just DST) are world-wide.

I never cease to marvel at peoples' capacity for masochism.  But there
are other things too, like the daily FreeBSD commit mail, which also
seems to have dipped a few days ago.  And that's frequently an
indication of some more global holiday than Cesar Chavez.

But it's interesting to read about Cesar Chavez.  Thanks to whoever
mentioned it.

It seems to be a longer term trend than a holiday or a month of
Ukraine war. May be people are moving to newer platforms (forums,
twitter, reddit, discord) or newer topics.

Yes, I had noticed that too.  I had assumed a US holiday or some
such.  Was there one?
