  • The option is called “relative date” (as opposed to absolute date). On macos you can switch it off:

    • open Finder, go to list view
    • select very first item in hierarchy
    • click on the little triangle next to the (folder-)icon to expand but press the option key wihle doing so
    • hit “cmd” + “J” - a settings panel will open
    • there is a tick box that says “relative date” that needs to be disabled (unticked)
    • if you want to apply this settings as the new default setting for all finder windows, press the “apply as standard”-button at the bottom. All dates will show now the actual date instead of “today”, “yesterday” and such.


  • I started learning the language in school (5th to 10th grade). I had a teacher who insisted very much on grammar which sucked while being a student, but in hindsight it turned out to be a good foundation.

    With upcoming internet English became more and more a part of every day life, as there is more content in English availiabe than in my native language. In order to build up a proper vocabulary and to understand figures of speech and play on words I started to watch cartoons in English - first easy-to-understand-ones, like The Simpsons, because I knew the plot of the episodes already since they were aired dubbed on television. In the beginning I found South Park very hard to understand because they speak rather fast, but meanwhile I understand everything now.

    Today I am able to speak fluenty.
