Dont use pretty date - overwrite Frappe?

Instead of having the “pretty date” view in the comments/timeline of a document, I would need to show the actual date.

Looks like a function in this frappe file is used to convert:

frappe/frappe/blob/develop/frappe/public/js/frappe/utils/pretty_date.js

function prettyDate(date, mini) {
	if (!date) return "";

	if (typeof date == "string") {
		date = frappe.datetime.convert_to_user_tz(date);
		date = new Date(
			(date || "")
				.replace(/-/g, "/")
				.replace(/[TZ]/g, " ")
				.replace(/\.[0-9]*/, "")
		);
	}

	let diff =
		(new Date(frappe.datetime.now_datetime().replace(/-/g, "/")).getTime() - date.getTime()) /
		1000;
	let day_diff = Math.floor(diff / 86400);

	if (isNaN(day_diff) || day_diff < 0) return "";

This file has been truncated. show original

What’s the recommended way to overwrite/sidestep this function?

If I just rewrite locally, bench build retrieves the frappe resources including this from online… which is anyway quite strange?

would it make sense to have this as setting? i could try to sponsor if somebody implements…
