See? Case sensitivity matters. And I _do_ see mynotes or MyNotes as 2 different things, and most people I know do too (as they should).

Example: Windows explorer kindly hides the file extension by default. The MyNotes (or mynotes) can be the executable and have a mynotes.ini on top of you having a mynotes.txt file.

There are multiple libraries available that do the conversion for you, just call the right code and you're set. Most unix systems either use unix time or epoch (although there are different versions of epoch), and display it according to the set locale. So for synchronised checks around the world, just call the unix/epoch timestamp "date +%s" and you don't have to take the conversion into account.

Or, just perhaps....we're going back more towards the origins of the internet, and people said/presented what they wanted, and it was up to the CONSUMER to sort out the chaff from the wheat....and decide what was factual themselves, rather than being force fed "the truth" according to other "authorities".

Algorithms are basically those "other authorities" and make that virtually impossible these days, especially on social media. You get fed what they think will engage you (and rage is a good engager), not what is factual.
