Cheers to all who, like me, are suffering from the luddite nonsense that is #daylightsavingstime in their #timezone
#WorldDestruction by #TimeZone
"Putting people in racist categories
Knowledge isn't what it used to be
Military tactics to control a nation
Who wants to be a president or king? Me!
Mother Nature is gonna work against you
Nothing in your power that you can do
Yes, the world is headed for destruction
You and I know it, the Bible tells you
If we don't start to look for a better life
The world will be destroyed in a time zone!"

Why is Google calendar so rubbish with timezones?
In November, United Kingdom Time isn't GMT+1, but +0. And Amsterdam and Athens are an hour wrong in its timezone description, in this same form.
It seems it "correctly" used GMT+1 (for Amsterdam time) though.
Question about formats for datetime literals:
Is there a way to disambiguate the hour that is used twice in "daylight saving time"?
Or is this the catch all argument to never use such a time zone in electronic communication?

It's all good. I'll be here all night.
NASA to create a new time zone: LTC (Coordinated Lunar Time).
Due to the moon's lower gravity and motion relative to Earth, moon time passes 56 microseconds faster each earth day. A separate time zone would help coordinate moon operations.

Anyone know why #simplicity not applied
Make the time everywhere on #moon the same as the earth #timeZone directly between the 2 Centers of Gravity.
Inhabitants will likely be underground w/o windows
so outdoor illumination need not be a significant factor
The minute duration will have to be adjusted and renamed as a #moonit
#TimeZone manager: I'll allow it, but only on weekends
The Time Lords have a special torture chamber on Gallifrey for app developers that write apps, used cross timezones but dont properly store timezone data.

Why clocks change, and can it be stopped? :
There are competing movements. Evening sun lovers want permanent standard time, and say it promotes recreation and family time.

How many copies of the Olson #timezone database do you think we each download every day? It seems crazy to me that browsers don’t expose some standard store and instead libraries like moment-timezone need to bundle (and keep updated) a separate copy for every dang website.
Etiquette proposal: if you invite someone from another #timezone to a teleconference, the onus is on you to present all times in their local timezone, rather than your own - that is, the person asking should bear the labor of timezone conversions, not the person being asked.
