Comment on We should have a WET timezone
mp3@lemmy.ca 1 week agoTo be fair, there’s a slight difference between GMT and UTC: GMT becomes BST (in the UK) during summer, while UTC doesn’t follow Daylight Saving Time and is tied specifically to the atomic clock.

GMT doesn’t become BST as far as I’m aware, GMT is UTC+0 all year round, and BST is UTC+1 all year round, it’s just that in the summer the UK switches from GMT to BST.

I mean if you specify GMT, one could assume that you need to apply DST during summer, while UTC is garanteed to be static.
