Speaking of DST, it appears Mexico will abolish it?

Lucky @eaplmx@twtxt.net! 😅
It’s funny, though, that regions near the US border will keep it. Doesn’t that just move the problem? What about the regions in Mexico near those border regions?
We, as a species, should stop messing with clocks like this. 🥴 (Yeah, yeah, I know.)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks for sharing.
Usually I don’t like to rant against the government but this one, aaargh!
70%+ of the Mexicans don’t like the DST, Americans neither. So the last few months it has been a thing here. But the timing, Damn!
In fact, if you don’t tell me I didn’t know! Has finished to be official just yesterday, 2 days before the DST change! And now ICANN has made the change really quickly, I’m gladly surprised. I was betting that they wouldn’t have time to react.
That said I think it’s gonna be like with Chile 🇨🇱 a few months ago. They had a similar rushed change and all the systems where broken and patches had to me deployed for the calendars.
Well. That said, I’m in Chihuahua, so my timezone will sync the center of the country which is good, and we are reverting changes from my childhood, haha.
And we won’t have DST anymore, yeah! 🎉🥳🎈
@movq@www.uninformativ.de and yeah, the current administration (leftist populist) is proposing half-baked laws for everything. So… What can I say?
My state is in the border but my city don’t. So it’s gonna be a mess if I have to work with friends close to the border. There isn’t even a Mexican Timezone for them, so I’ll have to pick one from USA.
Basically this current map is gonna change completely… With 2 days notice
Sorry guys, enough rant for today!
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t have a clue of your side of the word.
Here it helped that USA was looking for that change. Perhaps if other nearby countries in your side look for it, would be easier.
Here, as the law proposal said, were 15 years of people being against the DST, and a populist government made a rushed fix now.
🙃
@prologic@twtxt.net 👆 this is Spanish BTW 😆🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de yep 🙂
It’s gonna be a funny week over here.
But it’s the Weekend, my future me is fixing that on Monday 😉
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks for the catch-up. I live in that state, so I experienced firsthand the change.
Basically, our state had an ICANN region (Mexican Mountain Time/MT), but the government said “Forget that and follow Mexican Central Time”.
But as the state on the border, Texas, USA, stays with American MT, that made some trouble between companies and offices.
That has happened before, the municipalities/regions had different start and end for DST for 1 or 2 weeks, but now they have 1 hr offset all the year.
tl;dr ICANN timezone America/Chihuahua is not gonna be used anymore. Some municipalities are going to switch to America/Mexico_City and some others to US/Mountain. In the future, when USA removes DST, those states are going to follow. Regions on the border will follow American regulations. #sovereigntyFTW
