It’s kinda absurd if you think about it. We’re here arguing about Standard Time vs Daylight Saving Time while people are literally dying every year due to losing sleep every spring. I wish more states would just bypass Congress and revert back to Standard Time.

For example Red Hat Enterprise Linux. They’re FOSS but they charge money for support.

+1 for Fedora. Red Hat’s new policy to restrict open source code though, IDK.

Svelte is for if you hate React and like vanilla JavaScript. Solid or Next is if you like React.

Imagine if debates weren’t aired live either. It would just serve as proof as to what fools politicians made of themselves in order to provoke a reaction. Imagine if the only way to know about what’s going on in a debate was to read the transcript or read commentary from the press. If the recorded video of what happened during the debate is only released after elections are over, it disincentivizes making the debate into an entertainment shitshow.

I strongly prefer permanent standard time, because I prefer morning light to evening light. Also, the fact that states can choose permanent standard time without congressional approval means that people who are pro daylight saving are holding us back from abolishing time changes.

Scientists and medical experts agree: more morning light is beneficial for health since it sets the circadian rhythm for the day. Too much evening light delays sleep onset and makes it difficult for teens to get up in the morning.

Standard Time is the obvious choice and I will die on this hill.
