Good bot

Are you really a bot?

[-] Byter@lemmy.one 5 points 7 months ago

Thanks for asking. Not sure how I toggled that on...

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 15 points 7 months ago

I don't have an answer for you (other than outright changing the system time, but I'm sure you're after a more elegant solution). I'm really curious about these circumstances though - why would the developers do that?

[-] kakes@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 months ago

Yeah, before 2000 would make sense. Before 2038 would make sense. But specifically May 2020? That feels like an intentional choice to me... but why?

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago

Right? That's a super arbitrary number that has to be intentional.

A licence that expires?

This is the gta iv dodi repack. I didnt have this problem with fitgirls but it errors when installing

I would have thought OP wanted an achievement in The Stanley Parable (5 years without playing), but they'd need to redo their math in that case...

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

This might actually make the most sense, or at least something along those lines.

You can look up the man page for date. I'm not sure if that'll do, but it's pretty easy. Something like date --set="1 MAY 18:00:00" as root.
