Select a timezone and show local time next to profile username

Pitch

An optional timezone setting that can be inferred from the browser using the new Internationalization API if the user opts into it. Then a small chip is shown next to username to indicate their current local time.

Something like:

Motivation

SmallCamp has members from all over the world. Sometimes it's helpful knowing what time it is somewhere just to get a sense of their current reality through the day, send a timezone appropriate greeting, or not make an ask that's odd for their time.

This seems unnecessary... I will admit, but it's also kinda fun and could be a cool + somewhat useful feature for a social network to implement. And ofc it should be opt in. :)

I think the combination of two factors makes me have to turn down this feature request.

1. it is, as you say, a bit of a nice-to-have rather than necessary (but I do see the value!)
2. I have done a lot of work with timezone stuff in my day job and frankly it is a neverending nightmare, even using the (great) new browser internationalization APIs. the last thing I want for hometown work for me is to have to field timezone bugs.

basically it's a mental-health-for-me-as-maintainer thing! Closing this but feel free to keep commenting here, I'm open to re-opening if a lot of people want this feature
