I refuse to believe anyone does this. I think the inconsistency comes down to how people speak. "The meeting will be held on the 10th of January 2023" = 10/01/2023 but "January 10, 2023" = 01/10/2023.
I don't know how you would have to torture your brain for it to feel at home with YYYY-DD-MM.
When you’re young, social interaction is just so engrained in your daily life.
School, hang outs, nightlife. The opportunity to be social is never ending.
But you don’t fully understand at the time that those opportunities get erased quickly, and all that’s left are the people you fully invested in when you were young.
As someone who has never really made friends, modern reality (and lack of community/prosperity) is a bit freeing even though it's tragic. As in there really is no point in thinking about imaginary scenarios about meeting people as the more I go out for errands the more I know that a hello isn't even guaranteed (and likely the only type of interaction).
That's just how it is, thinking about it that way makes it a lot less stressful.
Honestly I’m going to sound like an old man but the internet ruined society in a lot of ways. I mean I’ve enjoyed its benefits my whole life and my profession is centered around it. No doubt it has benefits.
But we were not ready for it. Technology advanced faster than human beings matured. We weren’t prepared for this thing that could grant us all of our wishes instantly.
On top of that, talking with someone on the internet is absolutely not how you talk to people in real life. Yet, most of our conversations happen on the internet. It trains you to be able to turn off experiences that you don’t like. It trains you to be uncaring towards people with no repercussions.
So when you are in the real world, it’s like you forget how to cordially coexist with people.
The internet is part of it (a crutch or surrogate, a reason to not leave the house, a quick time-filler that doesn't require extra space or money), but I think that outside factors are bigger. For instance I live in a semi-rural area and don't have a car, so I don't really have options anyway (particularly not wanting to spend money). If the internet went out today I'd just be really alone and with nothing to do.
Also the decline of social capital hasn't been so bad everywhere, and wouldn't you know it the countries that have the most social capital seem to also be the ones that also top other charts like for happiness or healthcare outcomes. The ones that some people in the US look to as an example for better policy and society structure.
I’ll be honest, have the complete opposite approach here. I moved around a lot, country to country even, back when I was a kid, and had no way of keeping up communication with anyone before. Now in highschool, I made friends though a club and met by now partner, and all of us have admitted we probably wouldn’t have stayed in contact if it wasn’t by us sharing a videogame server in which we stream on the weekends, which came in handy specially during the pandemic. We’ve all been friends for 5 years now.
I enforce ISO 8601 for the shared storage in my office. Before I got there, files were kinda stored in all kinds of formats, but mostly month first.
I tell the person under me she can store her files in her user any way she wants, but if it goes into shared storage, it’s ISO 8601. I even have a folder in there called !Date format: YYYY-MM-DD Description to help anyone else remember.
I think the difference is that it’s possible to actually engage with the community on Lemmy.
On Reddit if I see something I have a story or thought on there are already 5000+ comments. The only people responding to me are trolls and those with nothing to do but look for a fight.
On lemmy there might be 50 comments in 10 threads. Conversation can actually happen.
It’s the difference between chatting at a party and shouting at a concert.
I don’t understand why this is so tempting. It’s clearly dangerous and even says not to do it.
Anyways, my mouth is ever slightly too small for one to accidentally slip in. But I could probably force it and not have the ability to crunch a plastic LED bulb to get it out.
What the fuck did you just fucking type about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at MIT, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids with Anonymous, and I have over 300 confirmed DDoSes. I am trained in online trolling and I’m the top hacker in the entire world. You are nothing to me but just another virus host. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on the Internet, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with typing that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we chat over Lemmy I am tracing your IP with my damn bare hands so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your computer. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can hack into your files in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in hacking, but I have access to the entire arsenal of every piece of malware ever created and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the world wide web, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking fingers. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit code all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
You can save and vote from any instance. That is the point of the fediverse. You can have an account on lemmy.ml and interact with communities on lemmy.world.
Right, but then I have a separate set of saved posts and comments on every account. I’d have to try and remember which account I saved something under. It’s a minor pain, but a pain nonetheless.
No you don’t. As chris said, you can use the same account. I’m saying move communities off .world, not accounts. That way when it goes down, it doesn’t hurt people on other instances as much (apart from being deprived of your luscious opinions for a few hours).
I recall writing a script that produces that 01237 with smaller digits around it for the current date. It lists the numbers that occur in the date (0, 2, 3 and 9 for 2023-09-09), the smaller digits show at which position they show up in a YYYYMMDD format (the 0 shows up on positions 2, 5 and 7)
The script has not been pushed online cause it was so dang bad
