Yes! I hate reverse-relative time indicators, it is absolutely an anti-pattern.
In addition to what you mention, it screws up archival uses if you're not diligent - copy/paste or screenshot something, and if the date is at all contextually relevant... well, it isn't any more.
- reaperducer 7y agoit is absolutely an anti-pattern It depends on your use case. Not everyone needs the kind of granularity that comes with the usual directory listing. For me, the older the file, the less granular I need the date shown. "Christmas Eve 2012" is a more useful date to me than "2012-12-25T01:42:09+00:00."
- jacobush 7y agoI’m okay with that. It’s still an absolute date. It’s the relative dates I abhor.
