@ricci where i'm from, they use DDMMYY. i'm going to say that the only correct answer is YYYY-MM-DD. nobody misinterprets that ever.

[thegpfury@infosec.exchange]

@ricci YYYY-MM-DD is the only true standard.

@dysfun unix timestamps everywhere in UTC is one true way to say dates

[elb@social.sdf.org]

@ricci Rob there is one true date format and it is ISO 8601, both of these things you mention are abominations.

Have you considered writing a calendaring solution?

[dysfun@social.treehouse.systems]

@ricci are you going to tell everyone they need to do maths?

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@dysfun sure why not

[dysfun@social.treehouse.systems]

@ricci i dunno, i figured you were more attached to living than that

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@elb ... maybe 🫣 ...

[ives@mstdn.social]

@dysfun @ricci either we use utc everywhere or we extend time zones with calendar zones such that July is always summer.
