According to one comment on the site, the 3.5 means "3.5 times the SD", which makes much more sense to me.
I initially tried to make sense of "SD being 3.5 on that day of the year", which seems to be a wrong interpretation.
I really hope, this happens on a big scale and further reduces the dependency on fossil fuels (at least over 24h. winter is a different question)

you can scroll through the slides to get the idea
(I expected it to be harder to find with that generic name)
edit: I like Leechblock for Firefox
also, instead of hosting your own server or using some (more or less well-financed) public servers, you can simply throw some money at [2] to pay for hosting for your group of friends or family or whatever. (not affiliated, but I like the idea)

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that a letter had been received on June 1 from the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Cavuşoğlu addressed to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, requesting the use of “Türkiye” instead of “Turkey” for all affairs." [1]
"Foreign Minister Cavuşoğlu said in a tweet that the move would "increase our country's brand value".
The country’s English language public broadcaster TRT World said, the move would help to disassociate the country’s image from the large bird of the same name."[2]

And there is one more Question I have since you're already here ;-) I'm already doing embedded Linux development in my day job, so I would say I have quite some knowledge in that area. However I haven't found a good introduction to this whole "porting" topic. Do you have some advice on how to get started in that direction? What exactly happens when I flash (say) sailfish onto some (specific) Android version? Why do I even need this? How does the whole libhybris thing work and why don't people just use the binary drivers from some Android image? It's all very confusing to me. Especially since people from the android corner seem to use different terminology that the embedded Linux crowd...
anyway, thanks for your work so far. I hope I can join the SFOS users (again) soon!
I would say that this is really not the OS's problem, but the bank's problem. I find it absolutely intolerable that there are banks that force me to use a OS from one (or two) specific vendors.
Same goes for public transportation services (German Bahn Card is now only available in their app) or post mail services (German Post "Mobile Stamp" is only available in their official app).
I often think about quitting tech myself, but becoming a full-time lumberjack is certainly not an alternative for me.
(I've seen https://xkcd.com/927/ in the comments a few times, but apparently I'm the first one who had this one in mind)

I tried to find some official document that properly explained how and why they agreed on these values, but it's really hard to find proper documents. After all, the directive was agreed on in 1996...
Here's a link to perplexity: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/why-is-the-length-of-trucks...
To sum it up, it's a mix of everything: Safety (for infrastructure and humans), efficiency, and of course EU-wide harmonization of standards.
"In contrast, European regulations are much stricter regarding the dimensions of trucks. In European Union member countries, trucks cannot exceed 18.75 meters in length, which prioritizes the maximum use of available space for cargo. Manufacturers resort to solutions such as the use of smaller cabs and flat bodies to comply with these regulations while still maintaining cargo capacity."
