Thanks. Appearantly time is measured by a single countries presidents now :/

How about using years? “This OS runs on 80s hardware” is still impressive, understandable, and wrong.

nah, let's use average lobster life since epoch. That would date ~0.5 lobster lives which is easy to read and understandable by everyone
