I've just said 'fuck it' and switched all my clocks to UTC. I don't even care anymore.
Why not metric time(TAI)?
Or why not just seconds past the epoch?
leap second corrected or not?
Metric seconds or UTC seconds?
I'm gonna say SI
Reasons.
Reasons just states difference, but does not answer why.
So leap seconds is advantage here?
There's literally a section titled 'why use UTC - not TAI?'.
Is that supported in any common operating systems?
Yes, CLOCK_TAI here
