Whoever thinks that getting cute by replacing precise timestamps with "1 hour ago", "3 weeks ago", "6 months ago", "recently" etc is a good idea:

@karinjiri Is the "full precise timestamp" alt/title text that those systems typically implement, not sufficient for you to address this? If not, why not?
(That's a genuine question; the answers are useful for design choices in my own projects)
@Tak @karinjiri Wow, that sucks actually. How do mobile browsers *still* get this wrong?
@joepie91 @karinjiri It's very difficult to access alt/title on a mobile device
