The proposal of the <video> tag isn't just a "cool back story".

It was a deciding factor in the death of Flash.

And it's a tag we still use today.

It's ludicrous that tech media still spread the myth that Steve Jobs was this big mega-visionary that innovated everything.

No, Steve was able to do what he did because the average tech worker made something unique.

And many of these tech workers made it happen because they were generous and contributed their code as a FOSS project.

Give credit where it's due!

It's pernicious! -- the myth of the genius super innovative billionaire who imperiously deserves to decide the fate of the web by deign of his otherworldly vision.

It deserves to die.

Look, none of you need to be Steve Jobs to build something amazing.

Or to contribute something wonderful to the world.

You just need a desire for change, and a way to get it done!

Steve Jobs didn't do half of what's ascribed to Steve Jobs.

So Steve Jobs couldn't even be Steve Jobs.

You know why I hang out on the Fediverse, bang the drum, help build some tech?

Because this is a way I can contribute towards positive change in the world!

I don't care if certain talking heads say I'm silly for trying.

This is my cause.
