Corporation? I'm not anti business, far from it. But I have an interest in economics as well as technology. We need effective markets. CUDA is an example of a market problem caused by a corporation's own language. It has screwed up competition.

I mean if anything, look at Velcro and how generalising a term makes it untrademarkeable. Overusing words can and will screw companies.

He means programming language. Don't use programming languages that are controlled by a single company. Not "don't say CUDA when you mean any general purpose GPU programming language".

Pfff that makes more sense, I'm sorry @jabjoe@feddit.uk

No worries. I think your not the only one. I wasn't clear, sorry.

The funny thing with that, I haven't seen a term taken like that from a tech company though.

Xerox is the only one I can think of that came close, Googling at this point...
