    I know this is a joke, but as soon as I saw:

        06/22/2025
    
    I backed away very quickly. I assume actual Windows uses the locale, so my eyeballs wouldn't be assaulted with this abomination.

    For Linux/Mac users who are happy to stick with ls, but want a slash-formatted date, you can get something that is sane for you (whether or not it is sane for the rest of us) by running:

        ls -l -D '%x'
    
    Where -D specifies a custom date format and %x means 'the date in your locale'.

    This comes in a great timing to pair with the recent release of a modernized "edit" tool from the ms-dos days. You can now download edit for mac, linux and windows and enjoy the simple and nostalgic editor's remake. Personally I quite like it, the shortcuts are super easy. It's a bit barebones but it is so easy and accessible that it might replace nano for me in certain use cases.

      * Requires Homebrew. If you don't have it, what are you even doing with your life?
    
    Nix, spending quality time with the family as opposed to debugging architecture-specific formulæ errors.

      Homebrew: your barrel hasn't fermented your cork, so your hops won't barley your lager. Firkin try again.

        Ah yes, unnecessarily skeuomorphic technobabble is the best kind of technobabble.
