Ethernet beat Token Ring.
@evan Weirdly, WiFi, as I understand it, behaves rather similarly to Token Ring, does it not?
And for most casual users, it's currently beating Ethernet (for my money, I'll still always prefer a cable connection than WiFi, wherever possible).

Ah the joys of debugging a ring by isolating each MAU one by one to find which one is faulty and brings the whole ring down! -

@oblomov @cstross @jwz @lisamelton And then we know how much Google pays Apple yearly since, well... neither 2004, the WHATWG start, nor 2008, the Chrome start, but... did you guess when?
2005.

It's all coincidence until it isn't.
Google's enclosure of the web has over two decades of history, back when their motto was still "Don't be Evil".

@oblomov @cstross @jwz @lisamelton At any rate, Dave Hyatt was a former Mozilla dev who switched to Apple and started Safari, and so this entire thing.
He was also representing Apple at WHATWG from what I understand.

@oblomov @cstross @jwz by the way, @lisamelton might have some views.

@jens @cstross @jwz yeah, this is also something I tried pointing out on the subsequent rapid expansion of Chrome. Everybody was saying «relax, (the core) is free software». Which matters very little when the only thing that truly matters is who controls the platform. FLOSS is not immune to the dangers of monocultures (or of corporate control for that matter).

@oblomov @cstross @jwz As you will note by some research, in April 2005, so before the publication of WebKit, there was already discontent in the KHTML community in how Apple was developing WebKit as a fork.
How can that be? They complied with the letter, but not the spirit of the GPL. https://web.archive.org/web/20050428230122/http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/view/1001

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/115984116493117731
Luckily, many of my clients are intelligent and well-prepared people. Needless to say, that email, before making me laugh, had already made the client laugh. He immediately thought he was dealing with people who were great at marketing but had little technical skill.
I presented my theory on software engineering, but he immediately tore it apart, declaring himself extremely skeptical. In his opinion, it is more likely to be a technique to lower our defenses and then try to sell us "security products" after a "pentest full of flaws". Or simply sheer incompetence.Anyway, their connection hasn't any open ports. So they can pentest anything they want to, as long as they want to.
