I'm seeing the same thing, showing March 29. My current time is 2022-03-30 08:14:53 EDT.
I wonder why this is dated a month from now?
It's showing correct (Feb 19th) for me.
Not sure, what date were you thinking about?
Looks like this was from March 2021
Yeah, I thought that this was from Feb 2024 at first.
You're late. It was in February ;P
Didn't this happen 31st of January 2020 ? That's what wikipedia says.
I'm pretty sure the date has something to do with this announcement ;)
How about since July 9th, 2019?
