PSA: when I’m unanimously elected Grand Pooh-Bah and Emperor - it’s only a matter of time, since the current political model certainly isn’t working - the whole “Sunday is the first day of the week” nonsense in the US calendars will go away.Just so you know.Yeah, I can deal with it by just setting my locale to be UK instead of US, and since I’m ok with 24-hour time anyway, that works well for me.I just want to save everybody else from this insanity. Who is with me?So to prepare for that inevitable day, I would strongly suggest that any calendaring app writer already make “Monday is the first day of the week” an option. You know it’s what most people think anyway.Kudos to Google Calendar for getting this right when so few others do (eg the “snooze until” calendar in gmail does not 😒).

@torvalds Perish the thought! Sunday needs to be the first day of the week in order to maintain visual balance - weekends on the ends, and work week in the middle, with Wednesday, the middle day of the work week, remaining the middle day of the week overall.

@torvalds agree about Monday starting the week…How would this hypothetical emperor feel about daylight savings? 🤔

@Bryan daylight savings time is right out. Or at least the switching between that and “standard” time.But that might actually happen here on the west coast one day even without me having to become Grand Pooh-Bah.

@torvalds 100% I fixing all the broken "1st weekday" settings when I can, and switch to 24 hour. However my SO refused to use my GPS as everything was in km :) "What, you can't scale it in your head?" was not a winning argument.

@tommythorn strangely, I don’t actually mind imperial measurements. I’m perfectly fine converting C to F and back without any issues, and same for miles and km. I still have no idea how many feet to a mile, but it has never actually come up as an issue.During travels, I’ve had rental cars that have speedometers in mph, while the posted speed limit is in km/h, and after a short initial confusion about why everybody is driving so slow, I adapt just fine.I even got used to the strange date order.But middle of the weekend is not the first day of the week. Not even after living here for more than a quarter century. It’s one of the very few things that still trip me. It happened today, in fact.Thus the upcoming imperial decree.

@torvalds Daylight savings time is a much worse thing you are better off spending your time and energy pursuing pingu.This is like complaining about the AD BC structure of year counting. It doesn't really matter.

Have worked with US companies a majority of my career and only today did I learn Sunday is the considered the first day of the week in the US. Must suck to be wired that you have only ONE day in the weekend.

@Deus @torvalds ...the week has two ends, and a weekend day on both sides. I hope you weren't doing anything complicated for those clients.

@torvalds if I'm elected I'll require grocery stores to alphabetize the soup aisle.

@wezeldog would you alphabetize “Creamy Tomato Soup” under “C” or with the other Tomato Soups? I think you’ve picked a fairly untractable problem to solve, but I wish you luck in your endeavors.
