### What issue do you have?

I think the relative dates shown in the date column in the detailed list view is unhelpful, inconsistent, and annoying. I would rather it just always show the date of the note the same way, and not randomly say "a day ago", "3 minutes ago", etc.

Is there a way to disable the relative dates?
