@BrieVee RFC 3339 >>> ISO 8601 (fuck ISO, paid standards can go to hell).

@5225225 @BrieVee paid standards can be pirated and then go to hell >:3

@lexi @BrieVee

yeah

it's so disappointing that even fucking jpeg-xl is not an open standard

like, sure, there's no relevant patents, but you need to pay to get access to the standard.

what the fuck is the point behind paywalled standards that's just going to encourage bugs because no one knows what the fuck the right behavior is

@5225225 unfortunately, the text of RFC 3339 contains the following example:

1937-01-01T12:00:27.87+00:20

This represents the same instant of time as noon, January 1, 1937, Netherlands time. Standard time in the Netherlands was exactly 19 minutes and 32.13 seconds ahead of UTC by law from 1909-05-01 through 1937-06-30.
