    My personal rage at the moment is this square time format with the two digit hour over the two digit minute. Obviously designed for a smart watch but Android decided it needs to be on the phones as well. I keep turning it off but every few updates it comes back – because the designers know better than me what I actually want.

      Try needing Julian day. If you’re coding then strftime() has supported it since 1989. All you need is “%j” and there it is, with leap year handling, etc.

      The end goal isn’t a good/flexible/powerful user experience for the person who bought the device; it’s a larger user base that can be marketed to The Machine for more money out the back end.
