Yes. The actual code is only after the dollar sign: `date --utc`. The
dollar sign indicates that it is a command for a Unix shell (as a normal
user, without ‘root’ rights, otherwise it's a #).
When you'll have a free operating system, you'll be able to type such
commands in a nice ugly window called ‘Terminal emulator’ or something
like that, and see the result.
The first word is the name of a command or program, while the other
words are parameters, just as in:
$ inkscape -e flat.png mydocument.svg

Ow. At school, I never heard of UTC; I only learned GMT. I searched the
difference quite recently but forgot.
UTC is often a reference in computers, even without Internet (what is a
non-Internet user?). See:
$ man date
$ man 2 time

Well, I could look it up.  And if a very specific time was needed, I would. 
But I thought just a general idea would be ok for this.

Out of curiosity, this must be a code for something?  $ date --utc

(I would guess that most people here, I mean all people, not just internet 
users, don't even know what UTC is.  Although if you explained it, they 
would probably say they vaguely remember about learning in school.  Internet 
users are probably more aware than non-users.)

Right, the website is down for me too, 10:15 UTC (now).
https://inkscape.org/

I don't know Mountain Daylight time… Why don't people use UTC there?
$ date --utc

[Inkscape-docs] bad gateway

2016-08-27 Thread Brynn
Hi Friends,
Just to report 502 Bad Gateway around 4:15 am Mountain Daylight 
Time.  Not resolved with multiple refresh/reloads.  I don't have any urgent 
need, but just reporting it  :-)

All best,
brynn
