You’re right. Sorry for getting my post-7pm arithmetic skills on you. However, my point still stands. ‘Close’ is not ‘conforming’ to the standard.

I didn’t know Euro and Farad were related :O

I’m German. If the pages are a comfortable size, why does no publisher ever use A5 or A4 paper? To quote an answer I gave to another comment here:

Let’s check. I grabbed four random German books from my bookshelf. If you’re right, the pages should either be roughly 30cm×21cm (A4) or 15cm×10.5cm [Edit: 21cm × 15cm] (A5).

Book 1: 18cm × 11.5; book 2: 19cm×12.5cm; book 3: 20.5cm × 12.5cm; book 4: 24cm × 17cm. None of those conform to the standard.

Another hint that the paper format is weird is that scientific papers on A4 are always either printed in two columns or use the ninths rule for margins, i.e. 1/9 of margin on the inner and upper edges and 2/9 of margin on the outer and bottom edges, essentially throwing away almost half of the page (I’ll admit there are more economic recommendations of 1/11 or 1/13). This is to make the columns narrower to get closer to the target of 60–80 characters per line. Note also that this makes the ‘usable’ area approximately 20cm long, which is much closer to the American’s ‘Legal’ format (216mm).

almost all consumer printers are for a4.

I never said A4 wasn’t the standard. I said it’s not a good one.

books in a4 size actually consist of a3 sheets bound together in the middle. (same with other sized books)

To be fair, A4 yields unwieldy pages that are too long to comfortably read. And when do you ever need the feature to fold an A4 sheet into A5?

It also starts disappearing from Amazon around season 3… if we’re talking Lower Decks.

After watching Lower Decks for 3 seasons and going back to TOS, I’m thinking about watching some of the middle entries. What are some of the meaningful differences between them. In other words: What should I watch?

And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?

Where do these random medieval drawings come from? And who finds them?

I didn’t know there was a comic series. I guess I’ll read that since Amazon pulled their animated series off of Prime.

Technically, the oath says not to ever perform an abortion.

I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.

Though there may be a loophole, since Hippocrates seems to acknowledge the existence of surgeons (“I will not use the knife, […] but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein” ), and his oath doesn’t seem to apply to them.

Old people without glasses, maybe?

no or fewer children

So… they killed other people’s children?

I used to think people stay years on death row. Are you saying you can stay morbidly obese on prison food?

It’s interesting that even on lemmy people aren’t so open-minded to give eating insects a chance.

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

Scheint wohl so.

Ich hoffe, feddit user, die gerade auf anderen Instanzen browsen, finden diesen Post.

Der Admin von feddit.de hat in diesem Post geschrieben, was gerade los ist. Darin steht auch, dass nur das Frontend betroffen ist. Man kann also noch nach feddit posten, es brauch nur eine andere App. Für’s Web benutze ich gerade alexandrite.app

I’ll leave this here in the hope that feddit users see this on other instances.

First: The admin says what happened in this post (German).

Second: The backend is working, so you can still post to feddit, but you need to use a different UI. I’m currently using the web interface Alexandrite.
