David de GrootClearly we should just ditch timezones/clocks and go back to Matins, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline at the appropriate times where you are. WIth Sunrise/Sunset thrown in for good measure. <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/timezones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#timezones</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/shitposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shitposting</a>

Anthony HortonOh, I've discovered some more fun* examples of "developers can't timezone".There is a phone app available to pair with my ebike, "My Smartbike" from the bike's power system manufacturer, Mahle. It will, optionally, record GPS data from the phone along with assorted power data from the bike, and make it available through the app and Mahle's web portal. If that's all you do with the data you probably won't notice an issue.Turns out though, when you ask for the data in GPX format (either manually via the portal, or automatically via an upload to Strava) then it writes all the timestamps in local time but puts a "Z' on the end, which is a timezone specifier for UTC ("Zulu Time").OK, simple screw up, not too interesting. What's more interesting is what happens when Strava is presented with one of these wrong timezone files...(1/4)<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Strava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Strava</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cycling</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ebike</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Timezones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Timezones</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a>

Photo Ewen 📷This website does a really good job of showing you the timezone conversion. In a visual and useful way.Just sharing because my brain lives in more than one timezone.

Birds Books and BullshitHate 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. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/TimeZones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TimeZones</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/DaylightSavings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DaylightSavings</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/GreatIdeas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreatIdeas</a>

Jeff Fortin T. (風の庭園のNekohayo)As I regularly work with people all around the globe, I really like being able to put GNOME Clocks' world clocks directly onto my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GNOMEShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNOMEShell</a> 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 :blobpats: <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/Nei/gnome-shell-extension-panel-world-clock-lite/-/issues/3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gitlab.gnome.org/Nei/gnome-shell-extension-panel-world-clock-lite/-/issues/3</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNOME</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/timezones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#timezones</a>

rdmYesterday I learned that, GMT+3 timezone notwithstanding, Ethiopia counts 00:00h from dawn. So 06:00 is midday. 12:00 is sunset. And because they are sufficiently close to the equator, this does not significantly move during the course of the year. So they set all the clocks once, and, eh, good enough. This is a massive "stuff you" to the western world - they are perfectly aware of how much it screws with everyone else, and regard this as a feature. Indeed, they absolutely delight in it.Good on them! <a href="https://aus.social/tags/timezones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#timezones</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/anticolonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anticolonialism</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Ethiopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ethiopia</a>
