I'm looking forward to fifteen years from now, when Easter Sunday falls on Thursday January 1, 1970.

@MontgomeryGator @Trammell Hudson afaik 32 bit archs on recently updated distros are still using 32 bit integers. Unless things have progressed more than they had the last time I read about it, which may have happened since I know that people are working on it *right now*

welcome to the Epochalypse. It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

@donmelton Hmm … so whatever patches they did for Y2K weren’t comprehensive. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well, at least the app recognizes the problem in a way, because it does not fall back to 1901 and the numbers of days are not a very high positive number, but not printed.

@MontgomeryGator @Trammell Hudson my understanding (from lurking on a relevant mailing list as an ignorant bystander) is that the patches / solution are available, but would break binary compatibility, so releasing them in a sane way in the distributions (and testing that nothing breaks even after recompiling) is going to take way more effort than the patches themselves.

And things are made worse by the fact that of the two mayor 32 bit archs one (x86, the other one(s) being the various arm variants) is mostly used for binary compatibility, these days.

AFAIK a lot of distros have just solved the issue by dropping support for 32 bit archs altogether :(
