ISO-8601 only

UTF-8 only

UTC only

Oh and more self hosting. Clouds are expensive and unnecessary for some stuff.

What do you mean by UTC only?

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, @UFODivebomb@programming.dev ... UTC only?

[–] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

That is a somewhat tongue in cheek comment. I think time zones are silly and people could easily account for the differences of what a particular time point means for them at their location. More realistically, UTC should be the only way a time stamp is stored.

Maybe we could just reduce it to 4 time zones, and no DST
