PSA: when I’m unanimously elected Grand Pooh-Bah and Emperor - it’s only a matter of time, since the current political model certainly isn’t working - the whole “Sunday is the first day of the week” nonsense in the US calendars will go away.
Just so you know.
Yeah, I can deal with it by just setting my locale to be UK instead of US, and since I’m ok with 24-hour time anyway, that works well for me.
I just want to save everybody else from this insanity. Who is with me?
So to prepare for that inevitable day, I would strongly suggest that any calendaring app writer already make “Monday is the first day of the week” an option. You know it’s what most people think anyway.
Kudos to Google Calendar for getting this right when so few others do (eg the “snooze until” calendar in gmail does not 😒).
@torvalds yes thank you.
Also please switch to year-month-date everywhere. On that front, the Asians (and the Hungarians) are clearly doing it better than the others.
@nicemicro @torvalds It's the only rational way. The other common formats can be misinterpreted. Is 2/1/2023 in January or February? You need the context to figure it out. 2023-01-02 is pretty clear.
Okay, there probably is someone out there happily doing YYYY-DD-MM, but we don't hang out.
@benjaminhollon @krogers @nicemicro @torvalds I'll be doing this from now on then 😅
