when we start living on other planets:

- all date time libraries are going to have to be rewritten
- timezones will require you to specify what planet you're on
- will have to include / account for potential transmission delays between planets
- what will be the UTC for interplanetary comms - prob earth

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

Probably gotta think broader. “Not on a planet right now” needs to be supported.

Bet we’re all watching solar activity very closely at that point. And we’ll know our own position relative to the sun at any point. Maybe the solution is somewhere in there.

Known for the everywhere.computer (/ec), /unglish (unglish.co.uk), the /secure-design WG, WalletUncon, Causal Islands + drumming in all-genre power trios.

Supporting “in between planets” is probably a universal timezone in and of itself - maybe you’d be on earth time

Position is a separate issue but relatively solvable - harder to do with the Sun though when we leave our solar system, Im sure there are other ways I don’t know about to track position

We’ve got a goodly amount of time before we hit the extra-solar era, haha.
