As much as timezones are a pain (I'm a programmer who recently finished working on an international calendar for an app), I don't think getting rid of timezones is a great idea. https://qntm.org/abolish

I think a much better goal would be getting rid of daylight savings. THAT causes so much headache for little reason nowadays

I definitely agree some of the issues they cite are more complicated than they need to be

It would be awesome to base schedules around sunrise (especially sleep, your routine sounds very nice), but the wild variance the further you go from the equator might make that unruly.

Depending on the time of year my schedule would "shift" around multiple hours due to latitude, people in (southern) Norway would have to shift around 6ish hours, all the way to the extreme arctic circle where the sun doesn't rise/set depending on season

I think I could adapt where I live, but I feel like "time of day" would lose all meaning without also knowing time of sunrise, whereas right now I can be reasonably certain how "active" the world is in any given timezone at 9:00 or 23:00

It is definitely interesting to think how different it would be to base everything around sunrise (you'd never really say let's meet at x time, it would always be relative to sunrise), I just struggle in thinking people would be able to break the routine of relying on nice round numbers for time

Still very cool to think about

And thank you for the app link, if I ever get flexible enough hours I wonder if that sleep schedule would help my somewhat unhealthy relationship with sleep

Reminds me of https://neal.fun/speed/

But that does position rather than rotation

Waking life is one of my all time favorite movies

And if you like both of these films check out the show Undone! It's made with the same surreal rotoscoped animation technique and also uses it to great effect

I definitely recommend it!

Semantle is pretty fun. For every word you guess it tells you how semantically similar it is to the secret word.

You get unlimited guesses, so there's no shame in throwing words at the wall and seeing what sticks

Well shit. That hit deep.

Thank you.

Organizing TTRPG pdf collection?

I've been searching around for a way to organize my TTRPG collection of pdfs (numbering in the thousands to tens of thousands) and haven't really found a silver bullet for it yet. Everything I've looked at has some sort of weird thing that's off about it that doesn't seem to make it ideal. Is there something out there that...

TagSpaces is a cross-platform file browser that operates very similarly to a regular file browser except it supports tags

If you're just using Windows files.community does something similar with a tighter integration with Windows

The benefit of both is that all their organization features sit on top of the regular file system so you can continue using the organization you have already
