If that is the case, can't the UI encode the timezone for the user, whether they want to be bothered or not?

- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoRight now, I am dealing with this problem that I have historical data recorded in Eastern and Mountain Time. Everything is local and nary a timezone in sight. Data files are mixed, and no obvious way to determine provenance. I cannot just guess what timezone these data points were collected, so I have to suffice for local time. Which is 100% fine for the users, because that’s exactly how they think about the problem. There are probably no global events against which they need to sync, just interested in the relative differences between events.
- rileymat2 3y agoIt may not matter, but without UTC and offsets, you can't get relative differences between all events accurately because of DST. But it may not matter for your use case.
