Are there any GNU/Linux experts on this NG? If so,
then I need your assistance.

Note that I said "experts" and not "installers." There
is a big difference. So experts only need reply.

With GTK+3 programs, like Pan, the date is formatted as
follows:

Recent dates -- Sun 8:50 PM

Older dates -- Aug 11 12:14 PM

This is fucking bullshit. My brain needs to see the
actual numerical date. I can't handle "Sun" even if
is was only a few days ago.

How can I change this ridiculous bullshit behavior?

Is it even possible to change?

I hope to hear some answers from the "experts" very
soon.

For someone who always proclaims to BE an "expert" (in Linux AND programming), you sure do need lots of help. The last time you whined about Pan, you were begging for someone to compile it for you, FOR WINDOWS.

Real software has a setting for this. But Linux is all about "software freedom", right? So look at the source code and change the way dates are
being displayed. Then compile it. Easy, right?

If you can't figure that out (and clearly you can't), then you are no expert.
So try some other software that works the way you want. "Software Freedom" again.

Seriously. I fix software issues FAR MORE complex than this, every God Damn day. Suck it up and figure it out.

Mister Expert indeed.

Your welcome.

Is this the best answer? Sheesh!

As I indicated, this is a phenomenon of the GTK+3 toolkit, which
means that it affects all programs built with it.

For example, the Geany editor exhibits the same bullshit date
format in its file open/save dialogs.

GTK+3 is supposed to be near infinitely configurable through CSS
stylesheets. There has got to be some way to configure the date
format in this way. Then the change would apply to all GTK+3
software.

GNU/Linux experts should know about GTK+3 stylesheets, but I
guess that there are no experts here.
