(And I come from a country where solar noon is 2pm in the summer, making evenings quite enjoyable)
The clock is good can tell you the time and how much time is passed and to synchronize the schedule for TV shows and cron events on computer and whatever, but is dark independently from that. If solar noon is at approximately 12:00 then the time doesn't jump (causing many problems with appointments and complications with other stuff that it doesn't need), and it will match with a sundial approximately and closely enough, but also that between for example 01:00 and 13:00 is going to be twelve hours, without needing to deal with DST.
(Avoiding DST is simplifying the computer programming too, as well as many other stuff too, so that is also good.)
What other countries do leads on from that, otherwise there's not much point to timezones.
Since we're having our locations tracked anyway, each of us could be our own time-zone, have whatever time each of us wants... on a whim. Coordinated-by-device-times!
This week we might go mostly-retro and arrange our meetings by local-solar-noon. Next week, full-retro, by local moon-phase.
