My #LeapDay-born stepson is now concerned that his birthday is going to gradually disappear from the calendar over the next four million years

EDIT: fixed (for now) - thanks to everyone for all the help!


I guess I'll put this out there since now I've met @guffo who's having the same issue.

My work laptop is Windows 10 and after Leap Day this year, my Teams shows meetings a day ahead for some reason on the calendar, but with the correct date on the meeting itself. Nearly missed a meeting Monday, but luckily since the day itself is correct on the meeting, it notified me and I noticed it. All the meetings still just show on the wrong day - a full day ahead.

Tried restarting Teams, the whole machine, nothing. Can find NOTHING about it online anywhere. Any ideas to fix are welcome, or anyone else dealing with this, or anyone else who wants to talk about how shitty Teams is. 😂

Folks born on February 29th only get to celebrate on their actual birthday once every four years. So today is a very special day for them. If you know one, help them celebrate.

Today, February 29, every four years, Leap Day William emerges from the Mariana Trench to trade children’s tears for candy. The city of Boston celebrates with a Leap Day William parade, a citywide ice maze, and wearing blue and yellow (30 Rock, s06e09 “Leap Day”, 2006)

Today, February 29, every four years, apprentice pirate Frederic celebrates his birthday. Unfortunately this means that his apprenticeship, which lasts "until his twenty-first birthday", technically won't end until he's 84 years old (The Pirates of Penzance, 1983)

Today I've almost overslept, because my alarm clock didn't go off.

Wanna know why? Just look at today's date...🤦

We are given an extra day to be awesome. Make it count. Tell people you care for that you love them, don't keep it inside. Return a genuine smile or a simple hello or good morning. Spend your energy in something good for your soul. Oh, and very important 🍷salud! 😘🫂🩷

Good morning and happy Thursday #Fediverse.

I’m getting a late start to the #KoffeeWithKyle chat today. Had to go by a clients this morning. Anyways, let’s see what everyone is up to today.

I just have the usual work schedule. Then it’s church tonight and my discussion post I have to do. Might get my TV in but not sure.

PSA: It’s a birthdate, not a birthday. Get it right. You don’t celebrate the Thursday on which you were born.

I do hate leap years. I feel, like when the clocks go back, my employers are getting extra time out of me. In this case a whole damn extra day's worth out of me. I begrudge them that. #February29th ought to be a #PublicHoliday. Write to your representatives and demand this, people.

If you were born on a , when would you celebrate your birthday in a non-leap year?

"An informal poll of the [Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies] members showed about a 50-50 split between celebrating birthday on February 28 or March 1".

Don’t write your own date handling software!

@acyberexpert@freeradical.zone avatar

“Don’t write your own date handling library!”

How about if you use the standard date handling library in #Python and use it to increment the year?

>>> datetime.date.today().replace(year=datetime.date.today().year + 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: day is out of range for month
