Standards shouldn't be behind a paywall (lemmy.world)

ISO 8601 is paywalled
RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

Ok, I just reread it. I don't see what you think I'm missing. You mean an improperly written find command misbehaving? The fact that a different date format could prevent a bug from manifesting doesn't seem like much of an argument.

Spaces can exist in filenames. The only problem is that they have to be escaped. As the comment that you reread explained, cat hello world.txt would print the files hello and world.txt. If you wanted to print the file "hello world.txt" you'd either need to quote it (cat "hello world.txt") or escape the space (cat hello\ world.txt)
