minus-squareIgnotum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up36·edit-222 hours agoI 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

That’s the normal version.
