I don’t know, mate. I live in Europe and that’s what I hear from the media and on social platforms. Maybe it’s all false and you live in a land of unicorns…

US is still stuck in green bubble vs blue bubble mentality, i don’t see any ripple effect happening.

Except that it doesn’t.

Andy Young was never a core Windows developer. He worked for Microsoft, yes, but his experience is in JavaScript, C# and other web technologies, not C/C++ and system level development.

That doesn’t happen since Windows 98 days, lol.

Well, I don’t use a laptop, but my desktop boots into usable state in a few seconds. Not sure what your problem is, but it’s most likely between a keyboard and a chair.

The problem is that majority of human population is dumber than GPT.

How many game developers licenced mini games during loading screen patent?

Others won’t follow because patents.

Oh wow. I can buy 600g piece for £11.50.

Why would I ruin all the fun?

You’re not getting any daylight with DST in the winter no matter where you are.

As I explained in my other comment, there’s no situation where you’re getting any daylight in the evening with DST, that’s just not possible.

Also daylight in the morning sets your day on a high note. The morning you’re spending in the darkness is what turns your life into a winter long depression. Coming home in darkness is inevitable and has a lower impact on your mental health. And with DST effectively removing BOTH morning and evening daylight, you’ll be completely fucked.

Well, rebase allows you to resolve the same conflict ten times in a row instead of doing it once. How cool is that?

Wut? If it’s DST during winter, you don’t have any light to enjoy after work. You can only enjoy light in the morning with ST. All the explanation is above, with facts.

Except that it doesn’t. Take a look at daylight data for 20 Dec here https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/uk/london

Daylight: 08:03 - 15:53

That’s ST obv. Now let’s convert it to DST, that will be 9:03 - 16:53. Let’s say you work a standard 9-5 job. Well, 9:03 is after you start working and 16:53 is before you finish. Thus you get ZERO daylight during the day in DST. You get almost an hour in the morning with ST.

Now let’s move further away from equator https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/latvia/riga

Daylight: 08:59 - 15:43

Well, DST is a perma fucking depression now as you’re robbed from the very few minutes you had before.

How about further North https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/finland/helsinki

Daylight: 09:23 - 15:12

No wonder Finland has such high suicide rates during winter…

P.S. It is also worth noting that daylight grows the closer you get to the equator and it grows in the morning, not in the evening. You can see from the examples above that their evening difference is smaller than the morning one. There’s just no point having DST.

With standard time you get some light in the morning. With DST you get no light at all. Also there’s nothing worse than waking up in the darkness.

I don’t know what you mean by evening, but it’s already dark at 16:00 during winter. You only get some light in the morning. DST means no more light in the morning and no more light in the evening. Complete depression. DST should not exist.

Oh my…

There’s a pretty clear distinction between a web server and a reverse proxy if you work in the field.
