ISO 8601 is paywalled RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:…) which is nicer to read.
minus-squarekingthrillgore@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoIts funny because everything about ISO 8601 is covered on its Wikipedia article. Very few people need to spend the francs to need the spec.
minus-squareMubelotix@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoYou HAVE to read the spec if you want to be compliant, you can’t just hope every detail is on wikipedia
minus-squareK4mpfie@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoIf you want to be compliant for a standard you need to have a copy of it. Luckily it’s only companies that really need to buy them
minus-squareSirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoWhich means the companies using the specs pay the company making the specs for everyone (companies and people) to use. That sounds fair, but I wouldn’t be surprised if capitalism fucked it up anyhow.
