Just witnessed a webpage with a date implementation so bad it rendered the site with one day and then *updated the page with javascript* at runtime to replace it with the actual date. I’m pretty sure it just renders the page as UTC and *then* tries to get your local date to format the timestamp?
To be honest the idea that "what day was this article published" should be relative to the *reader's time zone* is pretty weird to begin with
@misty Individualized display of time makes sense for people using various calendars who are accustomed to a different kind of year counting and display for instance. I guess the local time rendering functions can provide that. Running them async is not cool though... and one could argue that this could be handled by translation tools.
