[ghost]

That is something you need to read

[iamareebjamal]

Click on the link and read the issue

[ghost]

Bro , Not yet getting anything

[snitin315]

After reading?

[ghost]

I've searched , I didnt get what is #6927

[ghost]

I dont find any thing to read

[iamareebjamal]

Did you even click on it. Or give me Teamviewer ID and password and I will click the link for you and make you read it

[iamareebjamal]

Unfortunately, if you can't even open a link of an issue and read it, then this issue if too advanced for you

[ghost]

Ya ,This is my first project

[iamareebjamal]

But is it your first day on the internet? Have you never opened a link? We have a ton of people everyday who contribute for the first time, everyone can click and read. And the password and ID you shared is not of TeamViewer. You have shared your GitHub ID and password. Has no one told you to not share your credentials to anyone? Please don't give your credit card pin to a stranger asking you nicely. I am honestly amazed. I think before contributing to any project, you need to do this course https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/digitalliteracy/home

To protect you from malicious users, I am deleting the comment which contains your ID and password and request you to change your GitHub password immediately. And judging by your "expertise", I'll assume you have the same password for your email as well. Please change it immediately as well, and please use generated passwords from a password manager. And don't forget its master password. And please definitely don't share it to a stranger asking for a teamviewer ID and password :man_shrugging:

[snitin315]

Also, enable two-factor authentication.

[ghost]

Sorry 😅 can u once share me the link

[iamareebjamal]

Shared 3 times already

[mansiag]

Can I work on this issue?

[prateekj117]

@mansiag Sure, go ahead.

[mansiag]

@prateekj117 @iamareebjamal what I understand is, here arrow takes the timezone aware datetime object and humanizes it. Timezone plays a role in this as the datetime values are stored (in database) in that timezone only, along with an attribute to store the timezone.
For ex -
datetime.datetime(2020, 5, 19, 12, 54, 31, 756604, tzinfo=psycopg2.tz.FixedOffsetTimezone(offset=330, name=None))
So, it calculates the correct time passed by considering the timezone.
We can replace arrow by using humanize library, but humanize library do not consider timezone of the datetime value, it calculates time difference by considering the timezone of the location where the function is being called, so it may give incorrect result.

[iamareebjamal]

That can be solved by replacing the tzinfo of both datetimes to utc, then relative time will be correct
