Doesn’t it bother anyone else that both HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 were both SPDY and QUIC at Google first? Yeah I know ideas have to “come from somewhere” and I guess it’s not really any different than the AT&T/Bell Labs/MIT of the past; but something doesn’t feel right.

Damn your tags beat me to it 😂😂

@Stuxnet I know I’m paranoid. But when AmaGoogFaceTwitSoftFlairPal moved away from pipes and development to have government/movement backing and enforcement; it tends to grow.

Its the cycle of corporate life, remember how IBM was the big thing and a little company with a fruit logo took it down? It's meant to happen, again and again, beauty of free market ig.

@bkwilliams what is Flair?

@DrPitLazarus CloudFlair

@DrPitLazarus does it come in a suite of seven applications?

@JKyll Which company with a fruit based logo took IBM down? It sure as hell wasn't Apple (or Apricot for that matter).

Arguably it was companies like Compaq and Phoenix Technologies that implemented the first 'clean room' copies of the IBM PC Bios that eventually brought down IBM - although don't forget that they're still a massively successful services company these days.

@IceFreak2000 my point stands, free market

@JKyll counterpoint: Gab

@bkwilliams yeah, I'll rant about it latter haven't had time, that's a topic that actually pisses me off a lot
