    Depends on the system! Even for anonymous polls, you still need to have unique links to ensure that people don’t take it multiple times and bias the results. Even if it can track who has (not) answered the poll, it doesn’t mean that the answers are traced back to you!

    If they want they still can track you though, so this is why we need tools that we can verify how they work, e.g. open source services, maybe hosted on a external trusted provider etc

    Unpopular opinion: I like the concept of daylight savings: 😅

    What’s written on a clock is entirely artificial, made by humans to use as needed in everyday life; It doesn’t matter what it shows, just that it shows the same for everyone

    I think we should decide what we want it to mean (e.g. sunrise always at 07:00, middle of the day at 12:00, move the sunset based on concrete statistics that prove it would minimize energy consumption, or anything else we want), and implement it in small increments

    In a world where 99% of clocks are digital (phones, smartwatches, computers), no one will care or notice if for 6 months every day they lose 42 seconds of sleep, and then for the next 6 months gain them back again; (computers that need a stable reference point usually use UTC anyway)

    Heck, even without modern technology: Germany was broadcasting the time on a specific radio frequency with DCF77 like ~50 years ago, for synchronizing train station clocks, so today it should be more trivial than ever to make this change in the clocks and software that people use 🤔
