@piecritic The very first thing I looked for in the proposed government structure was if they would at least have minutes of meeting and luckily it is in there. So at least I can try and be hopeful that decisions such as these will be more transparent in the future, though currently it is rather bleak. But hopefully it will mean that at the very least decisions will be written down in public.
The Rust foundation had issues with their minutes being very delayed, but that is an issue they have now resolved so they can be published after confirmation at the next meeting. I don't think many read them when they are released, but that does not mean that they are not very important.

@encthenet @kkarhan I am not sure where the disagreement is because I fully agree with you. Standards should be free to access. The question should then be what does ISO bring to the table that these other organizations does not and why does people/companies choose them over the ones that have free to access standards.
Also companies would probably also want standards that are free to access and it is probably those that need to lobby ISO and the national bodies into making the changes that are needed.
For example Adobe, Apryse and Foxit are sponsoring access to the PDF standard https://pdfa.org/sponsored-standards/
I hope that examples like this is only the start and that we will see ISO to rework how it works in the coming years.

That one is a bit of an outlier, so much in fact that there is a whole Wikipedia about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_of_Office_Open_XML
But the standard of OOXML is actually free to access through ECMA-376, but even then I would not consider it a very open standard because of the process of which it was created.

@kkarhan @encthenet This misses the whole point of why we have companies like ISO. Their job as the standard organization is to make a fair forum for discussion of the standard. Else it can very easily end up being more biased towards some specific cases than it would have been otherwise. "Amazon's shitty #S3 #API" is only put into the world to serve the needs of Amazon, they don't need to care for how anyone else wants it to be which is the thing that Standard.
That said I still think they should be free of charge. @twitter@jonsneyers one of the JPEG XL authors would also agree with that, and they are actually trying to make a difference in that space. https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/31/iso_paywall_battle/

@charlotte But would a Linux with a FreeBSD userland be Linux (I guess you could also put alpine here, but that is boring)

@charlotte @schratze yay has `--sudoloop` which runs sudo in the background to keep it from timing out. And if you really want there are these flags you can set up to give a predefined answer. https://github.com/Jguer/yay/blob/next/cmd.go#L84-L87

@LunaFoxgirlVT Ja jeg gik lige igennem indsamlingsnævnets hjemmeside og de har følgende: "Husk, at indsamlinger på internettet og sociale medier, fx en hjemmeside eller Facebook, som udgangspunkt ikke er private. En indsamling kan ikke gøres privat ved at lave en lukket gruppe på Facebook." Så ja det ser ud til at det ikke ville blive set som en privat indsamling.

@LunaFoxgirlVT Nu er jeg ikke advokat, men jeg ville mene at sådan en indsamling ville kunne blive lagt ind under:
"Private indsamlinger, hvorved forstås indsamlinger, hvor opfordringen rettes til indsamlerens bekendte eller til personer, som har særlig tilknytning til indsamlingsformålet."
https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2014/511
Loven er mest til stede for indsamlinger der er rettet mod den bredere befolkning.
Så længe du ikke begynder at gå fra dør til dør eller ringe til folk så ville jeg ikke mene at du skal ansøge.

@koos Yep, 111.0.1 It only happens on the blogposts and does not happen on the overview. Looks like this for me
Autoscroll icon only showing ho…

@koos For me it happens on Windows 10 in Firefox, I also tried with a fresh profile and it still happens there. Maybe it is just a spurious oddity for all I know.

erk@koos Hi I recently read a post from your blog and ran into a bit odd issue. For some reason the use of overflow: auto causes auto scrolling (middle mouse scrolling) to only be horizontally. This issue seems to only happen in Firefox as well as it works as intended in Chrome. Setting overflow to a specific value or splitting it up in overflow-x and y and then setting y to a specific value seems to resolve the issue.
I just thought I would let you know since it caused minor annoyances for me since I usually use that for scrolling.
