First off, that already exists with UTC.

Secondly, there is zero chance of getting the entire world to agree to stop using time zones at the same time. At best, it would complicate things even further by having some countries using time zones while others don’t.

Time zones provide helpful frames of reference. With few exceptions, 8am-6pm is roughly a standard day nearly everywhere. It is where most of the daylight occurs, when most people are working, when most businesses are open, etc. If you are traveling somewhere and have an appointment at 22:00, how do you figure out if that is in the morning or afternoon? What time would I make a dinner reservation for? When should I plan on sleeping?

What happens to Daylight Saving Time? I assume you would want that to go away as well? That brings up its own problems which is why DST is still a thing even though many people say they don’t want it.

It would likely end up with individual states and even cities creating their own “standard” work days, so instead of time zone covering an entire region, there would be a complicated patchwork of unofficial mini time zones.

If you travel far North during the Summer or Winter when the sun is either almost always up or down, how do you know when morning and night are? Do you have to look up the work schedule of local businesses?

Would it be possible to stop using time zones? Yes. Would it completely change the way most of the world has handled scheduling for multiple generations? Also yes. Would it even be beneficial in the first place? That is at best, debatable.

Pocket ID is as simple to set up as OIDC can get. I have been using it for around a year without any issues. There is no password option though. It is essentially Passkey only.

Just like Russia was easily going to take over Ukraine in days and the US was going to have a quick victory over Iran in a couple of weeks.

Ted Lasso is the most well-known and I enjoyed it. Shrinking is probably my favorite. Mythic Quest is another one that I liked. If you like Planet Earth style documentary series and dinosaurs, I highly recommend Prehistoric Planet.

Same. And MXroute has been the most reliable email host I have used. I have not noticed any downtime in the 4 years I have been using them.

Me too. Mozilla abandoned it right before Progressive Web Apps started taking off. It was just poor timing. If they had held on a little longer or started the project a little later, Firefox OS would likely have been a viable alternative. It would not be competing with iOS or Android in terms of market share, but I could see it being comparable to Windows Phone whose downfall was due to Microsoft completely changing the developer frameworks with every new version.

Finally! Firefox and Chrome are the only web browsers on iOS that do not have an ad blocker. Even Edge has an ad blocker. I have Firefox installed on iOS for syncing with my other devices, but use Brave as my default because of Firefox's lack of ad blocking. I would love to use Firefox exclusively.

I have been using Brave Search for a couple of years and have been very satisfied with the results. It uses its own index instead of relying on Bing or Google like most search engines. The summaries are also one of the few cases that I have found AI to be useful for some more obscure questions.

The image results are very poor though, so I still use DuckDuckGo for that.

There is still a lot of tension between Greece and Turkey that occasionally leads to small incidents. Up until Trump started threatening to invade Greenland and Canada, a conflict between Greece and Turkey was one of the largest sources of uncertainty about how NATO would respond to an internal conflict.

Not just any advertisement. An advertisement for something that is likely limiting their job opportunities that they have been studying years for.

I use Eneloop batteries. They are widely regarded as the best quality and I have never had a problem with any of them.

The only controller I have that uses AA batteries is an Xbox controller. I am a fairly light gamer, so I have never measured how many hours they last, but I have no complaints about battery life. I often get more than a month of use before needing to charge them, so I would easily guess at least 10-20 hours of battery life.

There are rechargeable AA batteries. I prefer this over built-in batteries because I can swap the batteries out immediately instead of waiting for the controller to charge. It is also cheaper and easier to replace the batteries when they eventually begin to wear out.
