A way we can resist/rebel is to develop software so our own computers + devices can opt-out of DST, and still interact with those required to use it. See my LongitudeTZ project on GitHub. Lots to do but it won't get anywhere without supporters. https://github.com/ikluft/LongitudeTZ #OpenSource #software #tech #PermanentStandardTime #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST
GitHub - ikluft/LongitudeTZ: Natural time zones based on longitude, a proposal for addition to the TZ Database. This includes longitude-based time zone definitions, data files and lookups, allowing devices to opt-out of daylight saving time and still interoperate with those who follow it

California: SB-51 approved by a Senate committee, stalled in another, deadline 2026
Alaska: complicated

no 2025 bills in NM CO WY

Unfortunately, the #PermanentStandardTime bill in the #Oregon legislature #SB1038 is dead for 2025. It passed the state senate Mar 25 but never made it out of committee in the House. Friday was the deadline for the 2025 session for bills to be acted on by a second chamber. This probably needs a ballot initiative to get done. https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/Measures/Overview/SB1038 #PNW
I watched as #Oregon SB566 #PermanentStandardTime bill apparently died. I didn't realize it was replaced by #SB1038 until that passed the Senate today. On to the House.
The new bill is weird. It'll go along with permanent Standard or Daylight time as long as both CA & WA adopt same in 10 years. Permanent DST would require an act of Congress first, since states aren't allowed to choose it. Excludes Mountain Time portion of Oregon in Malheur County. https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/Measures/Overview/SB1038 #DitchTheSwitch #PNW

@ScienceScholar Health benefits for early risers? Parties and Netflix for adults who can write their own schedules aren't health benefits. It also doesn't compare to increased school attendance and better academic performance for students who can only afford public schools that necessarily have government mandated start times.
