HTTP/2.0 Opens Every New Connection It Makes With the Word 'PRISM' (jgc.org)

An anonymous reader writes: British programmer and writer John Graham-Cumming has spotted what appears to be a 'code-protest' in the next generation of the hypertext protocol. Each new connection forged by the HTTP/2.0 protocol spells out the word 'PRISM' obliquely, though the word itself is obscured to the casual observer by coded returns and line-breaks. Work on the hidden message in HTTP/2.0 seems to date back to nine days after the Snowden revelations broke, with the final commit completed by July of 2013. In July 2013 one of the protocol's architects appealed to the development group to reconsider design principles in the light of the revelations about the NSA's worldwide surveillance program.

HTTP/2.0 support.

HTTP/2.0 also supports the Bitcoin protocol which allows underpaid female STEM workers to drive 3D printed Uber cars or get a job (powered by DICE) delivering Arduinos via drones to Elon Musks new IoT manufacturing Chinese death factory.

The culprit of this change was Martin Thomson, a programmer from London. Typical cisgender white male with microaggressive behavior. This is why I don't use HTTP2/0.

Thank you , Jesus. I see the light. It's way off in the distance, because I am surrounded by imbeciles, by I can see the light. One day, I believe, people will be smart. That's all I can hope for.
