Accidentally set the TARDIS to en_US and now I can't fit through the door. How do I change back to en_GB without entering? (lemmy.world)

while it’s in en_US, you have to specify the new dimensions in hamburgers

I'm trying to convert Americans to dd-mmm-yyyy one dev team at a time. It's my magnum opus.

Adding an extra digit to the months in case we have a huge leap year some day 👍🤣 Better safe than sorry!

It renders as 05-Apr-2024. Rendering the month as an abbreviation gets rid of confusion.

Yes. That is why localization is a thing. I was talking about in English.
