#DaylightSavingTime

Deborah Makarios<p>My brain has decided to get a jump on the clock change coming up this weekend by resetting now.<br>Unfortunately my brain grew up in the tropics and has never really got the hang of daylight saving. It has, therefore, reset in the wrong direction.<br><a href="https://theres.life/tags/DaylightSavingTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DaylightSavingTime</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/DST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DST</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/ClockChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClockChange</span></a></p>

Luricaun the Smol<p>So it happened again. For those of you living outside the EU you probably don't care that much but last night a lot of people did get one hour less sleep, meaning most of the EU and other countries switched to the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DaylightSavingTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DaylightSavingTime</span></a> or <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DST</span></a> and my brain just fucking wonders why the hell it's dawning at 8 p.m. So let's all take some time to adjust, shall we?</p><p>I know that I definitely need it.</p>

Max Lee :blobcatverified:​<p>It's the end of an "era"... the EU has not managed to fix the bug in their clocks which make them display the wrong time for half of the year and I no longer have the energy to keep the normal time all year (a)round.</p><p>For anyone not aware: As a self experiment I had all my devices use UTC+1 or the really cool time zone of Brazzaville called WAT since 2019 or so to not have to deal with summer time (daylight savings for USians) but I've run into too many technical issues (mostly with proprietary systems like Microsoft's and the DB) which just piled up and I also started to always calculate the time in my head anyways, especially to allow interaction with other people (which became even harder after corona restrictions were lifted) but also when alone so the mental stress just increased which in the current global situation doesn't help anyone... I just hope that the EU soon implements their plan to get rid of this stupid changing of the clock.</p><p>The most annoying thing is that I now have basically the same amount of clocks that can't change the time on their own as devices that do so I have to manually adjust them all :S</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/summertime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>summertime</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/daylightsavingtime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>daylightsavingtime</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/zeitumstellung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zeitumstellung</span></a></p>
