--- Comment #278 from pallaswept <pallasw...@proton.me> ---
Thanks Nate.

I posted here rather than just adding myself to the CC list, to mention
military 'locales' especially, since it hasn't come up here yet. I feel like
military formatting is both 
a) a good reason to look at this since the userbase is both colossal and
critically important
b) potentially a strong source of funding or other required resources
So I mentioned it to try to have a positive impact here. 

I'm not super bothered by this, it didn't take me long to figure out how to get
the system into an adequate approximation. It's a minor annoyance, it's taken a
couple years to even mention it.

I'm already tracking that other bug as an interim measure, but I'm looking for
a way to tell my computer that I use 'this' time and date format and language,
in general, so it appears that way everywhere I look, like in dolphin, or
firefox, or ls -l in a TTY or Konsole. Any of those would be better than none,
though. 

I understand this is resting on upstream for now, so I'm cool to wait.

> short of re-engineering the entire world

That seems absurd, I know, but no less so than leaving the entire world broken
for all time. (get it "all time" XD someone had to do the Dad joke)

Could I help with that other bug? Like, is there a dev working on that? I can't
help but imagine that the patch from this thread which added date formatting,
could be fairly easily evolved into something which does time the same way.
Maybe a good first KDE project? Or my naivete showing?

> WONTFIX is the reason I abandoned KDE. Not a serious OS for my purposes.

At first, I thought this was a bit aggro, but then I realised you've been
posting here for a decade, so... You've earned an opinion.
For every one of these annoyances in KDE there are 10 things I love which don't
exist in other DEs. I'm just gonna have to wait this one out. I'm glad you're
enjoying Mint though. One of my mates speaks very highly of his Mint machines.
