A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

wtf is month 20?
Only Americans put the month at the start.
Must be the lead.
Different countries write dates differently. In the USA, 11/20/25 is Nov. 20, 2025. In other nations, it's written 20/11/25.
Only in the US. This is an international platform.

Not just the US. Philippines, Togo, Cayman Islands, and Greenland apparently also use MM/DD/YYYY in some way or form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_country
Well, that settles it. We must invade Greenland.
Yes, as I said, "In other nations..."
In all other nations lol
