Re:Unix time is bad and needs replacement, not UTC by nly on Wednesday November 23, 2022 @08:13AM (#33718723)
It's fairly unusual to have a system where people can write timestamps in arbitrary timezones. Most of the time there's a suitable context where a timezone just makes sense

For example, in a booking system the timezone will be associated with the venue or the destination.

In a scheduler for a trading system certain timestamps (start, stop time etc) will be the timezone of the trading venue.

For past events (logging) UTC essentially always makes sense.
