Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Ending the clock change is good, but do it on solar time.
People who want permanent DST are free to just get up an hour early.
Hardly anyone is free to get up an hour later to accomodate their inner clock.
I’m free to get up an hour early, but not free to leave work an hour early. The entire benefit to me is not having to spend 3 months without seeing the sun after work.
A similiar thing is true for people in general. Early birds are free to just lie in bed some more or to move slower when getting up and they are free to go to sleep an hour earlier as that's free time. Late risers (the slight majority, too) are not free to sleep according to their natual rhythm because they need to get to work and can in fact not just go to sleep an hour earlier when they are not tired yet.
And yet daylight saving time that punishes the latter group and keeps them in a constant cycle of slight sleep deprivation is pushed as the single time because idiots associate it positively with summer.
Under standard time, I don't see the sun before or after work during the winter. It rises after I get to work, and sets before I leave. I just want to get sunlight after work, even in the winter. Give me permanent summer time.
I don't actually care which one gets picked, I just wish we'd stop changing twice a year. I really like the "move the clocks 30 minutes and then don't touch them again" option too. Seems like it would be a decent compromise to me.
Work on a different schedule, or move South where the daylight hours don't change as much.
Can’t tell if boomer or trust fund baby.
Neither, just learned not to care where the sun is.
Working night shifts is even worse for you.
You must not live in the Northeast.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, put us on permanent UTC-4. I can't do another winter of only observing the sun on the weekends
