minus-squareIgnotum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up30·edit-26 天前I assume they mean the new standard, good or bad as it might be, simply isn’t adopted, so we are still stuck with the 14 bad ones Edit: I misread it, but this would also make for a good variation of the original :P
minus-squarestormdelay@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up52·6 天前I read it more like the new, better standard is never developed because someone used the real xkcd as an argument against making the new standard

minus-squareEheran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·6 天前I have another way to see it: There is a good new standard but the bad old ones stick around. Like Torx, there is still a ton of Philips etc.

That’s the normal version.
