    Easy. YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM(:SS)

    Anything else in inferior.

      This is only true when dealing with huge amounts electronic data, for easy sorting and such. DD:MM:YYYY is superior for everyday use. Don’t even try to change my mind

        True. But I found that out after importing loads of photos from my old phone where I stored everything DDMMYYYY. Shit was all fucked up (winXP times). I’m used to DD-MM-YY on a daily basis, which is totally fine. Just don’t name your files like that xD

        DD.MM.YYYY is superior for everyday use

        Please elaborate. Can’t see how this could be true in any situation but I’m willing to hear you out xd

        As a Hungarian I have to say that YYYY.MM.DD. Is clearly fucking superior.

      What’s Z ?

      • TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Z stands for Zulu timezone, also known as UTC. It can be another zone as well, as long as it’s noted. This way anyone can calculate it to their own time zone. The Zulu is a military notation, but it’s simple imo. Alfa is UTC+1, Yankee is UTC-1 etc. But UTC also works. I just hate naming timezones because then you need to look up what name is how much away from you. Just use the simple military letters or international UTC.
