I routinely have websites force me to put my street number after the street name, when here it's written before.

A lot of people must schedule their day around school hours. You can't decide those.

And yet I guarantee that with permanent DST, they will start pushing school start times later and later in the morning, then they're all right back to where they started.

That is pretty much what I hope will happen here.

Step 1 is to fix the time at any UTC+N. I don't particularly care what n.

Step 2 is adjust all times in society to work with whatever UTC+N we are now stuck with.

I think step 2 will sort itself out, as it has historically. Schools begin at a certain time because of whatever historical reason tied to what timezone we are in. If we change to a different timezone schools should naturally drift towards starting at some other time in the day, unless people for some unrelated reason changed their mind about what s good time for school start would be.

I really only care about fixing the clocks and stop doing the annual changes back and forth. What number should be seen on the clock for specific events during the day, like school starts, can be adjusted later.

I just went through all accounts in my password manager, logged in and changed my email. It takes a little while but not that much.

> I don't care about the history.

I've actually been using the Gemini app more because it auto-deletes old history. I like using LLMs without thinking this is going to stick around forever.

Models are relatively interchangeable for day-to-day use anyway.

I commute by bicycle so I choose my remote working times to avoid rain. So yes weather affects my day-to-day.

When somebody generates an app but doesn’t share it, does it make a noise?

> these people clearly aren't reading anything they're posting

I'm surprised they are able to care so little. Somebody actually published this and didn't care enough to even skim through it.
