They sure are a lot of ISO standards, huh.

They do great standards, the best standards. Believe me. So many great standards. Not as many as me, but ... you know ... they're great people : P
Don't mind me, just clowning around late at night ... : P
@strypey the fact that most of them are not in fact freely available was surprising to me
@ByronCinNZ oh I was just reading up on them because I was curious. As a lowly CS undergrad I knew of them mostly from stuff like ANSI C and ISO 8601. I was wondering how many of these standards there actually are...
It seems the answer is quite a lot, of which only a small fraction are freely accessible to the public?
Thank you. Your expertise is appreciated.

ISO are one of the oldest technical standards organisation still in existence, and unlike IETF or W3C, they don't just do digital standards;

So yeah, a lot : )
@strypey indeed, that's what I was reading :)
Perhaps I should've been clearer with my past tense here

I figured. I like to chuck in useful links for those who stumble on a post out of the context of the thread. Especially since not everyone who can see my posts can see yours.
I believe Mastodon shipped code to pull in all posts in a thread, even from accounts not followed by anyone on that server. But I'm not sure all fediverse software has done the same.

Or chucked that link into your OP? : )
@strypey Fair call!
Honestly probably would've if not accustomed to working around bsky's post length limitations.

You posting to your Mastodon account and a BS account with one app? Which one?
@strypey I've been using Fread, which *can* I believe do that, though I haven't actually tested the feature
Instead I post to mastodon and let Skymoth do the x-posting (only own posts and replies to self though)
And am on blacksky (cryptoanarchy.network PDS + vanity URL) rather than bluesky proper
Slightly jank setup perhaps but it works for me 🤷🏻♀️
