5 is good enough. Let's do something else

[–] python@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We should follow in the footsteps of many tech companies and stop numbering the Gs in favour of tagging on the year they were launched. So next year we wouldn't get 6G, we would get G2027. Sounds much cooler, doesn't it?

Or change the G to Gen like it always is when used as an abbreviation for generation, so that people don't think it means GHz or Gb/s...

I'd like a different letter while we're at it as well. I think q would be good. I want 2q data.
