    Nah, all you need is a little time to get used to it. It’s my default setting on most of my devices. Once you get used to it, it’s much easier to tell am vs pm at a glance, which is helpful when looking at timestamps (I work in IT, timestamps are important.)

      Shouldn’t the system be storing timestamps in UTC anyway, and then displaying them in whatever localization settings you have?

      I’m regularly looking at log timestamps and I still need a very brief half second to think about the time lol

      I switched after being in a job where “meeting at 6” or “I’ll get in at 9” was 50/50 am or pm and I got sick of guessing and sometimes being 12 hours off.
