DST is a sloppy attempt to shift the clock to make the time of sunrise more fixed instead of just rather than fixing the time of solar noon. We should just go all in and define 00:00 as sunrise rather than 12:00 as solar noon.
Schools and shops would open around 01:00 or maybe 02:00 sunrise time. Typical office workers head home around 10:00. Where I am the sun would set around 09:00 in the winter and 15:30 in the summer.
And of course anything on the internet or that requires cross-region coordination would be scheduled in UTC, perhaps with a user's local sunrise time displayed as a parenthetical. To decide when to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne I'd look up his local time as I do today, but if we scheduled a call ahead of time we'd schedule it in UTC.
