This website indexes its decimal time on the "standard" 12-hour timezones though, which is fundamentally broken in my opinion.
Decimal time was designed before the introduction of fixed timezones, and was relative to Paris in Revolutionary France, so a "correct" decimal clock should either use local time (using the browser's geolocation API), Paris time, or could devise a timezone system based on decimal time.
But using the sexagesimal timezones means there will be 0.83 hour difference between Paris and London for example, which is neither practical or meaningful.
I have a strong opinion on this because I have implemented decimal time (and decimal calendar) a few times, but of course it's just my opinion. Nobody uses this for actual, current applications that actually require accuracy.
