An odd request... (.beat Time)
Would it be possible to add a library that supports .beats (Swatch Internet Time)? Specifically, I want to use it in KDE and have it be adjacent to traditional 24-hour time so users know what time it should be even if the user is travelling to a time zone on the other side of the world. It's a strange system but has a bit of a retro 90s/early 00s nostalgic feel for some and a novelty for anyone who missed or wasn't born early enough to encounter this system's brief period of adoption on the internet from 1997-2006.

As a demonstration, this post was made @360 in .beat time.
Since it uses only the UTC+1 time zone for current time and date, you can ignore the local time if you need to avoid jet lag for some reason.
And it's decimal so its' not like you have to count some weird moon logic number like Base-13 (or whatever you might imagine a more pointless time system to use).
Lastly, we obviously would want it to be opt-in because almost nobody knows what a beat even is unless they stumbled across it on somewhere like Agora Road or Wikipedia.
I can post links to potential solution projects people have made if need be, just say the word.
Why don’t you install it manually and add it to KDE if supported?
There are none for KDE as far as an internet search goes.
I would go for the KDE project then. Or use a tool like Conkey (if that still exists) to display almost any information on the desktop.
