Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

One of my favorites

This of course ignores all the other times a new common standard succeeded

Yeah, in such a situation you should always try to compare the standards, look at the userbases and suddenly there are only very few that actually make sense. If everyone just does this, one standard will eventually crystalise as the one to use (or at least depending on the situation). Character encoding is an interesting example, because nowadays (almost) everything just uses UTF-8, despite there having been many.

This is the reason I was super hyped by the synergy of the fediverse, all the support and use of activity pub. And god I hope Facebook doesn't ruin it. This community has grown so rapidly and organically, I just wanna see it continue to thrive.

I finally got a proper USB 3.012542 cable.

Ahh this was the one they talked about on the WAN show

You should have just linked to the page. It would have embedded the image, right?

Yeah, thats the positive thing.

I don't want a single application that just works for a few cases but doesn't work for tons of other cases. With such a world we would have a Windows OS where you need to use Face-ID for everything you want to use and sometimes just crashes and restricts the usage of something simple stupid because you don't have the magical Windows Battlepass or smth.
