I absolutely refuse to change time on any of my analog clocks. I hate daylight savings with passion.
I display a clock at work that I proudly label as “Standard Time” year-round. Screw daylight stealings.
But now you’re running early since you mentally shave an hour off out of habit.
My car battery went dead the day before the time change. I was so close.
I can finally successfully rsync my phone over network instead of MTP!
It’s the cooker that gets me. I end up just switching it off and on at midnight because fuck knows how you’re supposed to set it.
well I for one have been dreading this day because now the clock in my car will be wrong for 6 months.
Daylight Savings lasts for 8 months, so it’s better to not change your clocks during the winter time
Whoah you’re right, it’s 8/4 not 6/6 😬
This is the conversation via text I had with my wife yesterday morning:
Her: I’ll get [my daughter] up.
Me: Not until 10.
Her: Time change.
Me: [looking directly at the clock on my computer] It’s 9:30.
Her: Did time go backwards?
Me: No. It feels like 8:30. That’s why the dogs got up at 7 instead of 6.
Her: Sigh. I’m so confused.
Daylight savings are so stupid. Savings are actually minimal and it’s bad for your health. If everyday you wake up at 7 your body will wake up without an alarm, now wake up at 6 because it’s a new 7. I’m sure you will wake up no problem. Now we will change it every 6 months so you will always need alarm. God! I hate it!
All of this iot shit, and all we really need is the ability for everything to just use an ntp server.
I wonder if we could set up all your devices to get that data from something like radio/Bluetooth. Then have your router/small device just send out the time from ntp and all your devices can just accept the message
That way you don’t need an internet connected microwave
If you’re going to make your device capable of setting its clock via radio, then it wouldn’t need to get its time from your router because it could just receive the signal straight from the atomic clock at NIST.
If only. They are falling behind with time.
I fucking hate dst so much. I wish we could do away with it.
None in Arizona! It’s awesome!
Yeah but you have to live in Arizona.
“What’s the weather like today?”
“Erm, gas mark 3”
“oven”
It sounds miserable already
I’d be down
I like it
The time on my wheelchair is 12pm. Its 6pm. How did it get so wrong

Nothing’s been the same since the incident.
I dont know what tíme it is. Help

The event haunts me in my dreams
My wife prefers the madness of memorizing the offset of the displayed time versus the current time. It’s not even an integer number of hours. It’s just some random value since the last power outage.
My wife set the clocks ahead of time, because she knows we’re always late.
We’re always late because she thinks we have time to go, because she sets the clocks ahead of time.
I guess she has to make up.

My sincere condolences on being married to a mad person.
Perhaps some flowers and chocolate will help?
Might as well start using GMT. At least you’ll get some value out of that.
I know time is relative but that’s going a bit too far
Jokes on you. My power is so unstable that I’m just waiting for the next power out to reset all the clocks to the correct time.
Here’s to hoping that it happens right at midnight for ya! :-D
Thanks. I appreciate it.
You are so very welcome my fellow Lemmy…ite? I dunno what we are called, and at this point I am afraid to ask!:-P
Oh, Lemmyian sounds cool!
I thought it was lemming… IDK.
All my appliances flash 12:00. At least they’ll be correct twice a day.
Just flip the breaker at noon
I like you.
