I believe that there should be only three timezones for coordinating for /tech/-related conferences and meethings
Here are the timezones that matters (and also notes on if they have daylight saving time or not)
Timezone 1: American Time
GMT-8 (w/ DST) LA, SanFran, Vancouver
GMT-6 (w/ DST) Austin
GMT-5 (w/ DST) NYC, Boston, Toronto
Timezone 2: European Time
GMT 0 (w/ DST) London, Lisbon
GMT+1 (w/ DST) Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague
GMT+3 Moscow
Timezone 3: Asian Time
GMT+6 Bengalore
GMT+8 Taipei, Singapore, Beijing
GMT+9 Tokyo, Seoul

Daylight saving time needs to fucking die already. Then we can talk about time zones.

Daylight savings faggotry has been abolished by the EU. In 5 years it will be gone.

Are you all burgers or what? Look at the map, Europe is further north than USA. In summer the Sun is rising at 4am, whereas in winter it is dark while you're going to work and dark while you're going back to home. Fucking birds are making noises at 2:30am, because it's a bit brighter outside. I don't want to hear birds at 1:30am just for the sake of removing "daylight faggotry".
Also is it even /tech/?

Without time zones, UTC is irrelevant.

Here, I fixed some of it.
Not all of it because I'm not autistic enough to finish it, feel free to continue on your own terms...

They do this normally at 2:30 am, but removing daylight saving time in a bad way could make this possible in some countries. It also depends on species, but blackbirds usually wake up really early at night. And pigeons in my city actually never sleep, I saw motherfuckers eating bread at 1 am.

I live in Europe and all that could be solved by removing DST and moving all working hours by one hour. That way you get one more hour of sunlight during the winter (when it actually fucking matters), you get to use the correct time, and the clock autism twice a year is gone as well.

I'm not against timezones. But you should use UTC instead if your special snowflake local timezone if you want to synchronize with someone not in your gay tinezone.

Birds sleep when it's dark. It is dark at 2:30.
Also if you want to LARP as a European you should stop doing this AM/PM bullshit.

If you're that autistic that you're concerned about birds chirping outside at the wrong hours then just kill the birds and be done with it. Don't subject the rest of us to your autistic daylight savings.

Too Many
Nobody here seem to have an answer.
My proposal:
-8 for eternal winter West Coast
-6 for eternal winter Texas
-4 for eternal summer East Coast
0 for eternal winter Britain
+2 for eternal summer Europa
+6 for the poo in loos
+8 for Singapore, Taiwan (Japan and Korea gets the back seat)

This is just more timezone brain damage. If you're going to change the system then at get rid of it and just use UTC. Who cares if you wakeup at 0200 instead of 0800, your "wakeup hours", etc are dependent upon the area you live and the job you work so stop over complicating this bullshit with timezones that confuse everyone.
