Personally I only trust what the Invisible Pink Unicorn tells me. I mean, if you can't believe an Invisible Pink Unicorn, what can you believe?!

Are you sure the tracking works?

I'm pretty sure I have clicked on that short link, but Europe/Copenhagen isn't in the list.

Even if the click went over IPv6, the other end of my IPv6-tunnel is in Sweden, but I don't see Europe/Stockholm in the list either.

Instead of geolocating, why not check the "time zone" setting in our profile settings?

Privacy Badger really doesn't like that link.

I'm a bit unsure what timezone you want me to pick. Your link says Denmark is "GMT+2", but if you ask date, you'll have to use TZ=GMT-2 date to get the correct output.

BTW: Have you considered sorting the options in a more logical order?

Geolocating doesn't work very well if people are using an IPv6-tunnel, VPN, Tor, ...

Oh, I also use the android interface on my phone. The buttons on my remote, my clock radio and my microwave oven could also be called an "interface"...

Hold on. I'll come back later with a much longer list.

A *BSD option would be a bit weird when the poll is about the "Best desktop Linux distribution".
