I've just realised that today is a public holiday in NZ. The news felt quiet as did our local Mastodon server, so I asked Duck Duck Go "Is it a public holiday in NZ today?" and it lied to me.

I found the correct answer on a NZ Govt site. While ANZAC day is the 25th, it's being celebrated today, Monday 27th. Not only is DDG deluded about today being a public holiday, including getting today's date wrong, but it insists that the "next" public holiday will be two days ago.

I can remember when search engines tended to be based in reality.

International Women’s Day is a public holiday in Berlin. ❤️

But in 2026 it fell on a Sunday - so most employees didn’t actually benefit from the day off.

In the UK, when a public holiday falls on a weekend, it’s usually moved to the next working day. This year that would have meant Monday.

A small adjustment, but a decent gesture toward employees - ensuring the holiday is actually felt and not just symbolic.

I think that's great!
