minus-squarecopygirl@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33·edit-210 hours agoNo love for YYYY-MM-DD? If you see a date in that format, it’s pretty unambiguous.

I started doing so in my company on the shared network space years ago, and many colleagues have started using this as well.
minus-squareSeth Taylor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·4 hours agoYou’re right. I literally forgot the first two Y. Or rather I assumed they were implied.

minus-squareddplf@szmer.infolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours agoThanks, but Y/M/DD/M/YYY already does it just fine for me

minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 hours agoI prefer classifaction in descending order… Narrow down the yearx then the month then the day then the hour then the seconds. Absolutely nobody wants seconds first then minutes
minus-squareJoeBigelow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 hours agoIt might make sense but that doesn’t make it better
minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-29 hours agoI prefer large to small imo, plus computers prefer yy mm dd too
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·9 hours agoAh, but the month number set is smaller than the day number set. It makes just as much sense to order by sets. Plus, starting with the month gives you time to remember what day it is without having to sit there awkwardly.
