DB SchweinHonestly I like DST year round - becaues I love it when it's still light at 9:30pm, but I am 100% here for the same frickin' time zone year round.
Pino Carafa@deirdrebeth @rperezrosario Yeah, the "yay and nay" options weren't great. I would have gone for:
1. "keep the current system with the clock changing twice a year"
2. "abandon DST"
3. "adopt permanent DST"
4. "my opinion.... "
There are enough people who use "DST" to mean "the time change" no matter which direction its going that it's how I translated it 🙂
@deirdrebeth @rozeboosje My view as well.

Permanent DST most stupid decision. Just move working hours earlier, e.g. from 9 to 8 and solved.

Extended explanation:
1. Invent DST
2. Move working hours 1 hour later to make it more comfortable (for works that doesn't have to be so early)
3. Make DST permanent? Instead of cancelling 2 previous wrong decisions, fix it with a crutch.

Changing my working hours doesn't make the sun go down at 9:30 so not sure what you're on about!
@deirdrebeth @rozeboosje @rperezrosario
If you have standard time all year around and start working an hour earlier you'll leave an hour earlier (e.g. 9:00-17:00 -> 8:00-16:00). So you wouldn't need Sun to set at 21:30, it'll set at 20:30, but amount of time you can spend for yourself is the same.

Was morning person, but due to circumstances (work) not anymore. And that's sad.

Alexandre Marcati@deirdrebeth @mykolak @rozeboosje @rperezrosario you realize changing working hours to an hour earlier or just changing the number on the clock to an hour later are actually the same thing, don't you?
@alemarcati @deirdrebeth @mykolak @rperezrosario of course but humans are odd creatures and we tend to live our days by the clock. I could just adopt my own, personal "time zone" and choose to live in UTC+1 or even UTC+2. But it would put me "out of sync" with the society I live in. So if the only option were to adopt a country wide "time zone" that everyone had to live by then, yes. I'd be in favour of enforcing UTC+1 permanently in Ireland.
Ignoring the fact that the majority of people aren't given the opportunity to change their work hours easily. If what you want is x hours of sunlight after work, your idea would fix it.
I naturally go to bed 3-5 hours after the sun goes down, in DST summer this works perfectly as the sun goes down around 9pm. In winter the sun goes down at 5:30pm and I'm exhausted by 9:30pm, yet not rested when I awaken at 5:30am. Work hours don't change that.
@deirdrebeth @rozeboosje @mykolak @rperezrosario I didn't mean a particular individual changing their own working hours. I meant a country deciding the official "working hours" for public services and businesses would be an hour earlier, which would effectively be the same as permanent DST without having to mess with the timezone (so clock would still be in sync to other countries in same timezone).
