ISO 8601 is paywalled
RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

Its funny because everything about ISO 8601 is covered on its Wikipedia article. Very few people need to spend the francs to need the spec.

You HAVE to read the spec if you want to be compliant, you can't just hope every detail is on wikipedia

Also, even if you fully respect the specs, I assume you can't get certified as "compliant" by ISO if you didn't pay for the specs ?

"HAVE" to like Germans HAVE to have their driving license to drive?

If 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

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Which 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.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
