      Meanwhile Linux (ext4) users are over here sorting by whatever we want.

      With ctime, mtime and atime it doesn’t matter what you call your files!

      I use Arch btw

        Sure, but then you need the correct file property or else nothing works? Since it is usually not my job to create files, I depend on companies to do the job right. But I have some bad news there. Example: DJI names the recordings or pictures you take something like DJI0001.jpg. guess what happens after DJI0999.jpg? That’s right, DJI0001.jpg. and don’t get me going about random time jumps in the date recorded/taken embedded in the file. Pure cancer. The script to rename the files to YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS looks like shit because of all the special cases you need to consider.

          Oh I agree wholeheartedly, I just wanted to advertise Linux. ISO 8601 for life, baby

      I completely agree. Everyone always asks me why I suffix my filenames with the date like this (or YYYY.MM.DD). But this is so files sure up in correct order when sorted my name. It seems so obvious.

      How does that last point work? The ”Putting the date in the files ensures it wouldn’t disappear due to OS shenanigans.”?

        You create a file on 30.09.2010, back it up and lose it due to hardware failure on 12.07.2022. When you restore the file from your backup to your device it will most likely be stamped as created 12.07.2022 even though originally it was created before that. If you name your file manual_2010-09-30.pdf you always know the date it was created and sort it by that filename.

    If you’re Murican, it’ll look like that.

    Not all of us are Muricans, so the date will actually look like 311223. I just realized that if there’s an infinite chain of that number, you’ll see the same number twice before going to the next one. That’s way better than 123123 (which is just 123×7×11×13).

    Listen, non-Americans: We can’t help it if your dating system is less fun than ours, okay?

      REEEEEEEEEEE

      but for real. It’s actually more than just knowing it exists, sometimes it’s forced upon us from software that isn’t localised.

      And my lord, excel when one mother fucker has mm/dd/yyyy set in their system settings means it changes the whole goddamned shared spreadsheet and dates are displayed (and thefore sometimes understood) incorrectly until someone notices.

      Please, git gud at units USA

        I’m sure it can be a pain in the ass. I wasn’t being serious (although a bunch of people apparently took offense).

      You should build a bunker/shelter that can withstand the apocalypse. (*could still be used later on).
