@DynResearch @FioraAeterna Now can we please ban these monstrosities and switch to UT1, which POSIX time_t effectively is anyway?
@RichFelker @DynResearch @FioraAeterna You mean switch to TAI-10. There's NO reason to force computers to adopt human time.
@laurentbercot @DynResearch @FioraAeterna No, I very much mean UT1.
@RichFelker @DynResearch @FioraAeterna UT1 is irregular. One second of UT1 pretty much means anything. I like my time accurate.
@laurentbercot @DynResearch @FioraAeterna You can't measure either accurately; both require sync with an authority.
@laurentbercot @DynResearch @FioraAeterna As a phys. unit, 1 SI second in your frame of ref. is not the same as 1 TAI sec due to relativity.
@RichFelker @DynResearch @FioraAeterna When time dilation becomes the main problem of system clock accuracy, I'll be a happy man.
@RichFelker POSIX, not UTC, is the problem.
