Days are shorter than months, which are shorter than years. Makes sense to go with smallest to largest.

Ah, but the month number set is smaller than the day number set. It makes just as much sense to order by sets.

Plus, starting with the month gives you time to remember what day it is without having to sit there awkwardly.

Isn't Ubuntu available on the Microsoft store? I could have sworn it was

That was WSL ubuntu.

Ugh you don't need to write 30 million lines of code to install a browser. You need to compile 30 million lines of code to install a browser. 🙄

You get to compile 30 million lines of code to install a browser. :)

For three, say "command prompt" instead.

In fairness, several major distros are available on the Microsoft store.

I prefer classifaction in descending order.. Narrow down the yearx then the month then the day then the hour then the seconds. Absolutely nobody wants seconds first then minutes

if the kernel isn't set to forward .exe to wine, wine example.exe also works.

No love for YYYY-MM-DD? If you see a date in that format, it's pretty unambiguous.

You're right. I literally forgot the first two Y. Or rather I assumed they were implied.

How to piss off a Linux guy in 3 steps: Step 1: Use Windows Step 2: Encounter a computer problem and ask the Linux guy for a solution. Step 3: When they say they don't know Windows, mock them for being so stupid despite staying in the terminal playing pretend hackerman all day.

I legitimately don't know how to administer a Windows system anymore.

But this would lead to files from the first of any month and any year to be bunched together.

Also great for naming files in the filesystem, and thereby giving it both context and a sorting space.

I started doing so in my company on the shared network space years ago, and many colleagues have started using this as well.

About 3.:

Thats how to break your wine prefix. Always use either a prefix manager like bottles or at least set your WINEPREFIX= variables

I had an experience something like that once. The guy snorted at me and said: "I thought you knew about computers". I just stood up and said: "You know, you're absolutely right. Good luck fixing the issue." and I left.

I thought it was under Window's terminal since that's what the person uses.

It used to be a meme that you need to recompile your kernel any time something goes wrong on linux, or to do anything.

Its just a fucking outlandish nonsense critisism. The joke is that it sounds like the way some people have criticized linux without realizing they don't know that they're talking about, and it's exacerbating how silly it is to being cartoonishly absurd

Go back to the retirement home grandpa. Computers are grok prompts now with subscription tokens. Pass me the verification can gramps. Heil musk!

Really old people seem to be the heaviest AI users, or at least they are in my bubble. So maybe pa is getting it on with an AI granny in that retirement home.
