timezone
(Redirected from tz)
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
Timezones are names used to highlight regions on the globe that are used to define a uniform time for society's use (legal, finance, social). Examples of them are Pacific Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
Criticism
timezones are a way to create dependencies in your code on legislative bodies in countries you have never heard of.
