It still amazes me that, in spite of international travel predating computers by quite a long time, most calendaring software does not understand the concept of an event that starts in one time zone and ends in another (including Apple's iCal, which was built around a file format that can express this for interchange). And the very few that can handle this don't have a way of representing in the UI that your local time zone changes as a result of this event and that anything that you do while in the other time zone should default to being organised in that time zone.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @tuta@calckeymusic.social needs to be aware of this for their calendaring app.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Essential functionality, but I thought Apple did support this and yes - I just planned this ‘flight’ starting on LondonUK time and ending in Canada (Ottawa)
