Fix: Change date format string for Windows compatibility

Fix date format string for Windows compatibility

Problem

When running interpreter --os on Windows, the program crashes with a ValueError due to an incompatible date format string (%-d).

Solution

Changed the date format string from %-d to %d to ensure compatibility with Windows systems.

Changes

• Modified interpreter/computer_use/loop.py to use Windows-compatible date format
• Replaced %-d with %d in strftime() call

Testing

Tested on:

• Windows 11
• Python 3.11
• open-interpreter 0.4.1

The fix allows the program to start normally with the --os flag on Windows.

Fixes #1495

Can confirm this is a blocker for Windows 11 based installs on 0.4.1

@umayado17 If you want to maintain the no leading zeros aspect you can do this instead:
{datetime.today().strftime('%A, %B %#d, %Y' if platform.system() == 'Windows' else '%A, %B %-d, %Y')}

Its such a strange python quirk.

[umayado17]

{datetime.today().strftime('%A, %B %#d, %Y' if platform.system() == 'Windows' else '%A, %B %-d, %Y')}

Thank you for your advice, I’ve modified the code.
