It's October, soon we'll switch to winter time. Does anybody know what happened to the suggestion to remove it? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Latest article I could find is this one: https://www.thejournal.ie/eu-plans-to-abolish-clock-changes-6024800-Mar2023/

I know the EU can be a bit slow, but the vote was held in 2019, seems like enough time elapsed since then.

On Gnome and on Windows you can add multiple clocks so when you click the time it shows the differences.

But not if there are no timezones! Probably someone would find a way to display the shift anyway, but this is basically the old timezone system again, but without a (more-or-less) universal standard.

The universal standard right now is UTC and pretty much any program or other application that is serious about time uses it and only converts to the broken timezone system on display.
