The SI Brochure [1] does not acknowledge the existence of the byte, not even in the section 'Non-SI units that are accepted for use with the SI', and mentions the symbol 'B' only as a reference to the Bel. So the BIPM keeps itself out of this issue. The 8th edition does.¹ 1. Bureau International des Poids et Mesures; “The International System Of Units (SI): 8th Edition”. Organisation Intergouvernementale de la Convention du Mètre; 2006. § 3.1 “SI prefixes”, p 127; https://www.bipm.org/documents/20126/41483022/si_brochure_8.pdf/

Storage and networking use SI in the SI system.

That argument does not make sense, because before now, this issue was simply decided without much debate. If anything, this thread is bikeshedding because we’re focused on a small issue.

Hi everyone, I love the new site; it’s so much more accessible than the FSF’s site. On “The four freedoms” page [1], the freedoms are correctly in a numbered list starting at 0, but then the ordinal numbers in the paragraphs below start at “first” instead of “zeroth”. This means that under section “0: Use the software”, it is referred to as the “first freedom”, section “1: Study and improve the software” is referred to as the “second freedom”, and so on. Wouldn’t it make sense to start the ordinals at “zeroth” so that the Freedoms’ cardinal numbers match up with their ordinal numbers? If so, I would be happy to create an issue/patch for this.

Hi, I absolutely love POSIX shell, so when I read that the build script is written in POSIX shell and automatically detects your compiler I just had to take a look. Upon doing that, I noticed some interesting behavior and wanted to ask y’all about that: So right away I noticed that `tool` defaults to using `cc` if $CC isn’t set, but `cc` is now deprecated in favor of `c99` acording to POSIX [2][3]. Is this intenteded, and if so may I ask why? After that, tool checks if the os is cygwin and CC is mingw, and if so defaults to gcc. Why does it default to gcc here when it previously defaults to cc? Also, the comment mentions that this might mess people

Certainly. Under “[filters]” of aerc.conf, add the line
“text/html=lynx -dump -stdin”. There is also an explanaition [1] on my
blog, but it doesn’t add too much more detail as it’s really that
simple.

I had the same problem as you. While I did not end up getting it
working, I did find an alternative that I find much more pleasant —
using Lynx instead of w3m. This does mean you loose images, but they’re
usually not important because most clients block them by default.
