  6. Funny thing I noticed paying my Federal taxes today: They don't seem to understand that Hawaii doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time. The confirmation page showed a time an hour in the future ("04-15-2026 06:41 A.M. Hawaiian Time (UTC -10:00)"), as if we had sprung forward. We didn't.

    Even now it's only 6:15 AM.

  7. Me: So #tired! 🫩

    Them: Poor guy, #DaylightSavingTime is taking its toll. Take care. 🤗

    Me: Ummm. Yes. Daylight saving time. That must be it. I was definitely not playing #20thCenturyFoodCourt until 3 am. Oh, no. 🫣

    #LastCallBBS #gamingonlinux

  8. Oh no. They adapted way faster than me. Now it feels like getting up at 4:30 am and having dinner at 4:30 pm. This is not my time zone.

  9. If you dislike/hate the clock changes twice a year, then here's an explanation that you're right to, from a bonafide mathematics professor no less!

  10. Basically, I think we should unilaterally rename "Daylight saving time" day as "Neurodivergent OMGWTF" day.

  11. “Time is an illusion, daylight saving time doubly so.” (with apologies to Douglas Adams). #DaylightSavingTime

  12. The time has come again to keep saying “It’s actually that time” for at least a few weeks. 😖

    I hope I’ll live long enough to experience that nonsense to be abolished. 😔

  13. @bluca @jwildeboer
    There is no such thing as summer time or winter time. There is daylight saving time (DST), which means the clock runs one hour ahead of the sun.

    There's also no stopping with switching, there's only stopping with DST.

  14. Today is the EU-wide why-on-earth-we-do-it - day, when we move clocks for no reason, but just because our governing system does not know how to stop it. It causes harm in people, and no benefits.

    Stop the daylight “saving” time for good.

  15. Und ich wunder' mich schon, wieso die Zeit heute Nacht so schnell verflogen ist?... Die Sommerzeit hat begonnen! 😜😎

  16. So.. If I go to sleep now at 3.30am it means I do not miss the hour sleep, correct? 🤔

  18. The US does it on the second Sunday of March, so they already did it on Sunday three weeks ago, on 2026-03-08.

    I must have been remarkably offline that weekend, as usually I can't escape noticing the perennial DST rage posts.

  19. I looked at the time on the stove, and thought "Wow! It is much earlier than I thought!"

    Then I remembered that it does not switch time automatically. :holdthepain:

  24. Big news in #Cascadia: #BritishColumbia will switch to permanent #DaylightSavingTime. Clocks will change for the last time on March 8 and then will not switch back to #StandardTime in the fall.

    Note that #WashingtonState, #Oregon, and #California have all passed similar laws to switch to #PermanentDST, but are blocked by federal law.

  25. It’s saying a lot when it’s considered easier to move the entire clock than get more flexible working hours from corporations.

  26. Remember folks, spring back then fall forward.

    I made this 8 years ago as a joke, this week I couldn't remember what was real!

    This is the power of #mnemonics & catchy slogans.

    FALSE ones can be more powerful than the truth.

  27. It's "fall back" to Standard Time again (I wish we were on Standard Time all year). We had an unseasonably warm start to November on Saturday, but a cold front will make Sunday windier and cooler (but still mild).

  28. Saturday is our last full day of Daylight Time. The sun will rise at 6:56AM, and the sun will set at 4:59PM on Sunday. I awoke early and changed my clocks already, but now I don't know if it's SIX SEVEN. Sorry. Had to.

  30. It's time for the twice-annual groaning about the time change with #DaylightSavingTime ending for the year in the US & Canada Sunday morning, November 2. A way we can resist/rebel is to develop software so our own computers + devices can opt-out of DST, and still interact with those required to use it. See my LongitudeTZ project on GitHub. Lots to do but it won't get anywhere without supporters. github.com/ikluft/LongitudeTZ #OpenSource #software #tech #PermanentStandardTime #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST
