Glyph on Nostr: Perhaps even worse is the idea that I care even less about temporal precision the ...
Perhaps even worse is the idea that I care even less about temporal precision the further things get into the past. When viewing a piece of media I rarely care if it’s 2 years ago or 2y6m ago, but it turns out I *really* care about whether a particular piece of media is from Dec 2019 or Mar 2020. There is a big difference between a TV show that aired on September 9 2001 and September 13 2001. Just put the fucking date! It’s fewer characters than “about five years ago”, you are not saving space!
