Why is nobody excited about these “yesterday”/“2 days ago”/“a week ago” labels? Because they pretend to speak human language, but they actually don’t. For a human, yesterday is “at the day before”, “between 0am..11:59pm the day before today”. No human uses “less that 24 hours” as the definition of “yesterday”. Computers, unfortunately, do. Add here that ... 1/2 ... different implementations calculate “yesterday” differently (even on the same service) → lack of trust → less useful. And don’t get me started on “12 days ago”. This is complete bullshit. No human thinks in terms of “5+ days ago”. Last week—maybe. But not this. (don’t use “last week/month/year”, too — it becomes too vague. Use specific day) Thanks syL for the pictures 2/2 12

@grumpy_website Hmmm, labels should be right aligned.
