I've just checked and the trilithons and lintels at #Stonehenge have been successfully set to British Summer Time (UTC+1).

I really do wonder if this is a tradition we could now abandon. Such a time consuming exercise twice every year to change them 🫤

Perhaps we should abandon BST and just stick to GMT (UTC+0) and honor our four fathers and five mothers some other way? 🤔🤷‍♂️

Yo también era "team horario de verano" hasta hace no mucho. Pero me he dado cuenta de varias cosas:

• «Nuestra relación con la luz del sol depende del uso horario y no del huso horario». Esto se lo leí a un divulgador hace un tiempo. En resumen: No importa lo que marque el reloj, lo que importa es lo que hacemos en esa hora; solo hay que ver cómo, con el mismo horario que Francia, Alemania o Países Bajos, no usamos nuestro tiempo de la misma manera que estos países.

• Empiezo a valorar mucho más tener más luz solar por las mañanas que por las tardes. "¿Qué más te da tener luz para trabajar, mejor tenerla para el ocio, cuando salgas del trabajo?" es un buen argumento a favor del horario de verano. Sin embargo, yo necesito luz solar para despertarme mejor, no dejamos de ser animales diurnos, por mucho que intentemos negarlo. Salir de casa de noche para ir a trabajar es muy triste.

• Si finalmente se siguiera haciendo el cambio de hora, votaría por volver a lo que se hacía antes de 1996. He leído que en España, hasta ese año, el horario de invierno entraba en vigor a partir del último fin de semana de septiembre, no de octubre, como se hace ahora. Ese cambio actualmente llega tarde porque, siendo en España de 7:00 a 8:30 las horas habituales de entrar al trabajo, la ventaja que sacamos dura tres semanas, tras las cuales volvemos a entrar al trabajo de noche. Un sinsentido.

• Conclusión: Que se terminen los cambios de hora, nos quedamos con el de "invierno" para todo el año y cambiamos nuestros "usos" horarios si hace falta para ajustarnos al cambio. Ejemplo: Entrar antes al trabajo, comer antes, cenar antes...

Gracias por asistir a mi charla TED (vaya rollo acabo de soltar).

Heute nacht ist #zeitumstellung, und wer schlau ist, stellt die Uhr nicht eine Stunde vor, sondern eine Stunde zurück, dann ist man nämlich in #UTC, Weltzeit, Zulu-Zeit und braucht die Uhr nie wieder umstellen, weil UTC keine sinnlose und ungesunde Sommerzeit kennt.

@simondueckert Die Artikelserie von @kuketzblog half mir.

Es wurde #LibreWolf. Mobil #Vanadium auf #GrapheneOS.

Ist auch vermutlich eine gute Wahl aus #privacy & #security-Perspektive.

Allerdings gibt's bei LibreWolf das Problem, dass fast alle Zeitangaben nur noch in #UTC dargestellt werden. Besonders lästig bei Chats, Version Control Systems, Kalender, ... im Browser. Könnte man auch disablen aber offenbar nur als größeres Paket von an sich sinnvollen Anti-Tracking-Maßnahmen.

Diverse Workarounds haben bei mir bislang nicht funktioniert.

Meine Lösung aktuell: für diese Seiten, wo mir Zeitangaben wichtig sind, habe ich #Firefox (mit diversen Privacy-add-ons).

Das Wichtigste ist ohnehin in jedem #Browser #NoScript.

Monday is January's #FullMoon — the #WolfMoon.

It's now exactly 2 #lunar cycles to the #TotalLunarEclipse on 2025 Mar 14, the Night of the #KrononautMoon, and our invitation to #TimeTravelers to come visit or send us a #quantum #signal. (To be followed by 2 more Total Lunar Eclipses in the next year!)

Here's our extended version #Checklist for the Night of the Krononaut Moon, a celebration of Time Travel. (Original post located here: me.dm/@KronoMoon/1136102025338).

☑️ Coming our way next on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, 2 months from now.

☑️ #Observe the #Moon & #stars that night, wherever & however you like, with friends & colleagues or on your own. Local #times flexible.

☑️ #Connect with the #cosmos & with your #past & #future #selves. Send a #signal to #beings in the #future(s). #Candles & safe #campfires are good; #music & #dancing are good; #radio #wave #antennas are good. Be experimental!

☑️ Click & share many #photos of the #Moon, with you (and your #family / #pets) under it — what we call a #Moonsie — and any nearby #UFOs. Share your #images with @KronoMoon & @KronoMoonPhotos.

☑️ #Enjoy a deepened #moment of #peace, #love, #authenticity & #meaning, with other #Mastodonians around the #world & #beyond — wherever you are.

Aus.SocialKronoMoon 🌕 🌑 2025 Mar 14 (@KronoMoon_TotalLunarEclipse@aus.social)Attached: 1 image   Time Travel: obscure & cryptic little ad in Artforum Magazine is more relevant today than when it was printed 45 years ago. #Scientific #research, #spiritual #quest, or #conceptual #art, it's an invitation to make contact with Time Travelers — or Visitors from the Future(s) — at what some would call a landing party. Today, the ongoing work of The Krononaut Moon Project continues at full steam on #Mastodon & #Fediverse. 🌠 🐘 🛸 The historic ad appeared in the 1980 January issue, announcing a gathering to occur two years later on 1982 Mar 09, inviting #Krononauts or #TimeTravelers to beam down to #Baltimore #MD #US. The hundreds of attendees at the night's festivities were documented by a #NYTimes newspaper reporter. Later, others would organize their own inter-dimensional meet-ups in #Perth #AU, #MIT #US, and #Cambridge #UK. (All were receptions of a type-1.0.
