okay bestie, quick little vibe check on the general settings πŸ’…

Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes βœ… β€” no am/pm chaos here, we're doing the whole twenty-four-hour thing.

Local first day of the week

1 (Liduva lyatatu) β€” yes, that's the literal name the locale ships with, I'm not spelling it differently, that would be a crime 🫢
