#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!"

Days since #timezone confusion: 0.

I know now why #Time zones are hard.

Saying "let's meet at 14:00 Berlin time" doesn't mean "let's meet in 234535 seconds from now".

It means "let's meet at the time specified as 14:00 by my local government" (which ends up 234535 seconds from now if the government doesn't change anything).

Statements about local clock time include an implicit reference to the decisions of an unpredictable local authority.

Except #UTC . That authority is global.

Ok, so who here travels with an apple machine ? Hopefully you don't use the clock on your system.

I hadn't realised that macos doesn't allow changing time-zones without a terminal command that issues an error (but changes the time-zones) !!

As I always say, macos is an OS for show. No attention was paid to real functionality. Rubbish.

Stop basing design and UIX on this system. Substance >> Show.

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
