   I hate that software has to be restricted to lowest common denominator. Like that dates have to be hidden or relative, lists don't have counts on them, a variety of other shit because "normal" people apparently can't handle it. At least compromise or something and give us a setting.

     @sun give us absolute dates ! I hate trying to find which commit was released on the 22nd at 10:00 and github is like "a month ago" for every release, and I have to move my stupid little mouse cursor on the stupid tiny text so that after a little time a stupid tiny popup shows up about how this release was on the 29th at 13:00

     @sun I've always felt that timestamps should be explicit. "2015-08-15 14:32" is better than "9 years ago". "${current_date} 12:26" is better than "4 hours ago".
     
     If necessary, sites can use JS to translate from UTC into the user's local timezone.

     @sun That's to be expected of proprietary software - it's designed to make even the most hopeless used not feel uneasy.
     
     Free software doesn't have such restrictions.
