As a filmmaker I'm incredibly upset that they flipped the image, it's like it's breaking the 180° rule but worse.

hh:mm:ss dddd, MMM dd

Objectively the correct way for a clock to be configured. I will die on this hill.

I do DDMMMYYYY, 02SEP2025. It is from Good Documentation Practices (GDP).

How does it make sense? Calendars aren't set up by date number, they are set up by month. You need to know which month you're talking about to get to the right date.

Most of the time you only need the day though cause months are easier to retain. It's the same reason why you wouldn't say that knowing the year is most important than the month. You probably don't need a reminder that it's 2028.

If you already know the month you only need the day. If you dont, then you need both anyway.

Please delete 4. Literally no one wants or uses it. It's just FUD for 3.

Agreed, chaotic evil right there

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely. Go with the lawful and/or good, but this is both messed up and corrupting.

Number 4 only works in a Terminator/Arnold Schwarzenegger accent.
