false Apparent Solar Time timezone #17

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug NaturalHour displays a false timezone by default Apparent Solar Time.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install app
  2. Launch app
  3. Look at true apparent solar Time in the outer ring
  4. Look at timezone in the center reporting AST and attribute it to the outer ring
  5. Look at inner hashtic ring and see that it differs from the realAST in the outer ring
  6. guess that it is then the default system time but that it is an hour behind and consider it possibly a Daylight Savings Time bug
  7. ask developer about handling of DST
  8. change time zones around
  9. change back to AST to notice that it is a false timezone differing from the already shown realAST in the outer ring

Expected behavior I expected the developer to notice this is a false timezone and at least not make it the default - at best not have a known false timezone as an option ( AST which the developer has attributed to java objects this may be an upstream bug with dalvic art or whatever java like runtime it is pulling the false zone from )

It is possible my phone has a runtime with a false AST while the developers phone does not but seems unlikely

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain the problem. A picture is worth a thousand words, and might capture useful information for debugging.

You will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

I won't being providing any additional support. It's on you now. If you need to know what is happening and why, then I suggest you dig into the code, and then rtfm.

You might try googling "apparent solar time" and educating yourself first though. Good day.
