@blueberry @redoak @be sometimes uninstalling app remove config or app data, which may be messed up for some reason.

@trinsec

Some of us do follow it, when we're not being held hostage by form fill-in fields or antiquated style guides. Sometimes I'll compromise by using the European format with the month in letters, but otherwise I strongly prefer ISO 8601.

@mk @freemo @hans_w

@worldsendless Yes, it is at least one of those. What colors are you using in Emacs?

Last month the Netherlands passed #RouterFreedom into law: all ISPs must let customers choose their own Internet hardware and still provide tech support at no extra cost. That little box is your home-internet gatekeeper, and now in NL it can work for you fsfe.org/news/2021/news-202108
