No, that’s him. Arguably the father of modern computer time.
Comment on Inventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85

What does the p stand for? Surely not protocol that is in the title.

It’s a protocol named NTP. If you want to say “the ___ protocol”, you can say “the network time protocol” or “the NTP protocol”. Both are correct, even if the latter is technically redundant. You would sound really weird if you insisted on saying “the NTP”. Let’s not bring the worst parts of reddit to the fediverse. Needlessly pedantic is something we can move beyond.
