[Feature] Change Timestamp Injection format to YYYY/MM/DD instead of MM/DD/YYYY.

[interested-user-1]

While some of the training data of LLMs is from American websites, documents etc. where the date format is MM/DD/YYYY, they should also include documents from other regions which use DD/MM/YYYY instead. Injecting a date in either of these formats could cause the LLMs to misinterpret the dates and also confuse users.

So how about having the timestamp in YYYY/MM/DD format, which is pretty much universal, or including a toggle to switch between them?

YYYY/MM/DD format, which is pretty much universal

Or YYYY-MM-DD, which is a true standard (ISO 8601).

Also maybe add a date format field in Kobold Lite settings next to the toggle enabling timestamp?

I'm actually using toLocaleTimeString so it is entirely dependent on your local browser settings.

On Firefox, I was able to change the date to DD/MM/YYYY through the Windows OS region settings (Australia), and YYYY-MM-DD by setting it to the English-Sweden region. Not sure if changing it to Sweden might cause other (unrelated) issues later though since I'm not Swedish. I might try specifying the format in the system prompt for the LLM's benefit, though it doesn't always work (maybe with some tweaking it will)
