@Yoshi from now on I am simply going to incinerate anyone who links xkcd 927 in any conversation

@Yoshi i unfortunately am both sides simultaneously

@Yoshi linux package managers be like

@Yoshi I’m personally just thankful the a/c charger part of this comic is now outdated because of the EU standardizing USBC

@Yoshi
i think that panel only really applies if the new technology doesn't add anything new or make any real improvements, and just tries to be "the best" without addressing issues with the existing options

@Yoshi still one of my favorite definition of unified standards

attn @greggish

@Yoshi USB-C is to me the proof that unification of standard does not contradict progress.

@Yoshi I feel like every new thing was started because of good intention. But inevitably something about it is imperfect, thus warranting a successor. And the cycle repeats.

@Yoshi
Without a public policy, that is. One common charger for everything thanks to the EU is an example of how it should be done.

@Yoshi ouch 😅

@Yoshi
this has been true for years. I use to tell my staff when we were designing systems, to pick a standard, any standard, just don't make a new one.
