@muri@troet.cafe @osma@mas.to @rpsu@mas.to @ysbreker@idlethumbs.social I have always (even before arguing about this on IRC in about 1990) argued that we should dump this summer/winter fiasco as I never believed the arguments for it were relevant today. Regarding CET across Europe I also thought societies naturally adjust their working day so you see e.g. later dining in Spain which brings it closer to that of the UK than France and Germany. And finally, since I was discussing this on this wonderful new "Internet" I argued that it would help everybody if everybody used GMT (now UTC) as a second reference time for arranging meetings etc. If everyone was used to knowing time in both local and international, that would make life a lot easier.

@muri@troet.cafe @osma@mas.to @rpsu@mas.to @ysbreker@idlethumbs.social and now helping my wife work out combinations of working hours in hours-and-minutes and/or fractions of hours for her work administration, I'm reminded we should also go decimal time... 😀
