Such a terrible idea compared to permanent standard time. There is plenty of light during the summer, so there's no need to optimize for that. The winter is when daylight is scarce, so that's what should be optimized for.

Oh, we've changed them so many times at this point. In the 2000s we changed the dates that we move the clocks back and forth. This is probably just a configuration update.

#39Hot take: permenant daylight time not permanent standard time because nightowls are more common than they used to be.
I prefer having more daylight in the evening. I never really understood the opposite argument.
I think it comes down to, "what do I prefer"
