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

@Yoshi I’m personally just thankful the a/c charger part of this comic is now outdated because of the EU standardizing USBC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

@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.

@fd2 @Yoshi then let there be a successor. you're not going to marry the standard anyway, and in most cases you can just build bridges between two standards

@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.
