Hate daylight savings? New time zone proposal:

Sunrise is at 7 AM.
That's it.

Yes, the new time zones will be very thin. Yes, it won't work very well at very high latitudes. Yes, you will be constantly having to specify which time zone you scheduled something in. Yes, most days won't actually be 24 hours long anymore. Yes–okay actually this wasn't such a great idea.

Just got assigned to a timezone bug at work. Pray for me.

A very nice @computerphile video to remind you why you should *never* handle time zones yourself:

Be sure every coders watch it!

Good Morning #Canada
On this day in 1935, Newfoundland decides to change their official clocks to 3½ hrs west of Greenwich. This gives Newfoundland a 30 minute head start on the day, ahead of eastern Canada. No wonder they're so happy. They are well caffinated before the rest of Canada.

Time changeover: Why CET is preventing the abolition.

The clocks have changed to summer time, while the abolition continues to stall.

Two researchers from the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences have made a suggestion how the knot could be untied.

The proposal may come at just the right time: Poland, which has held the EU Council presidency since January, wants to explore how to proceed with the issue.

The only way this splatfest is possible is timezones which will allow people on different teams to go against each other otherwise it’s mirror matches cause I mean for example there’s no way that someone who gets things done in the morning would play at night right?

In Peru for a vacation.

It is very strange that I changed seasons -- my first time in the southern hemisphere! It's autumn here -- but I didn't change time zones.

(Yes yes, it's simple, you just go due south a very long way...but part of my brain insists that you can't flip the seasons, and that when I've traveled far for a trip, I should be in a very different time zone.)

I just discovered Rink, a unit-aware calculator for the browser and command line. It's incredible. It can do tons of unit conversions, useful time (zone) math, and a lot more. https://rinkcalc.app/about

Romance Standard Time is to romantic as Pacific Standard Time is to peaceful.

I sympathise with the folks complaining about updating their clocks every few months...

Although I don't have that issue in my timezone, what really grinds my gears is an offset of +/- half an hour with the UTC and other most popular time zones

Want to convert between #timezones in your favoriate #shell ? Of course you do! use

TZ=$to date -d $(TZ=$from date -d $time)

so to convert from 14:30 mountain time to New Zealand time you'd use

TZ=NZ date -d $(TZ=US/Mountain date -d 14:30)

check `/usr/local/zoneinfo` for timezone names.

I have this wrapped in a script called "tzconv".

As I regularly work with people all around the globe, I really like being able to put GNOME Clocks' world clocks directly onto my #GNOMEShell panel, thanks to the wonderful "Panel World Clock (lite)" extension.

Of course, my QA curse made me accidentally add 100 clocks and lock up the whole computer (because of a stuck button, I suppose), so I filed a bug report about it
