Hot take: ISO standards do not meaningfully matter to me, because an extremely impoverished, unbanked person cannot freely access their contents from a smartphone or library computer.
Therefore, I go out of my way to avoid referring to them or relying on them in anyway.
@soatok ISO standards are behind a fuckin paywall?

They're industrial standards. There's an underlying assumption that you're not going to be able to make use of them without massive amounts of capital equipment, and a further assumption that if you're not able to make use of them, they're probably not very interesting or relevant to you.
Maybe those assumptions are flawed. But they're at least not surprising.
@geoffl @publius @aires @matildalove @soatok You have no need to view the standard. If a product/service complies they can present you a valid certificate.
@matildalove @emilion Pretty sure a lot of the ISO nonsense I've pasted into client websites doesn't mean shit.
I didn't even know what it was (well I aorta did but also not really...) until I read this thread.
Yay. Love my job. Writing boring crap and pasting it on the internet. Whilst lying naked in bed, peeling onions with my feet.
