01/01/1970 about to be a real popular birthdate.

Imagine being that poor motherfucker born 1 jan 1970. No one will ever believe you, and you cannot get your json file.

Can I make myself old enough to slow down my operating system?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not sure it will, as it would have to be able to handle users older than that, so wouldn't have a reason for the default age to be that. Also depends on the UI (like my steam bday is something like jan 1 1900 because that's the default age already entered).

I was thinking it's less about using a "zero date" and more about the Linux/Unix community protesting the change by coding a well-known date.
