'Tim, dieses Hypertext-Ding, hast du das inzwischen zusammengeschrieben?', sei er kurz nach seiner ersten Eingabe in dieser Sache im europäischen Kernforschungszentrum CERN gefragt worden, berichtet Berners-Lee, und er habe kurzweg geantwortet: 'Okay, dann mache ich das jetzt eben!'
Alles Gute zum 70. Geburtstag heute! @timbl
I recently pointed Vint to a postcard designer who had mixed up Internet and World Wide Web and Vint cc:ed me his tongue in cheek response to the designer

What Happened to WWW.? - Once upon a time, typing “www” at the start of a URL was as automatic as breathing... - https://hackaday.com/2025/05/05/what-happened-to-www/ #timberners-lee #originalart #mischacks #featured #interest #history #website #web #www

That's how I discovered the World Wide Web: www on CERNVM, the IBM ES/9000-900 behemoth.

Have you ever walked into a supermarket, pharmacy, or department store looking to buy a specific item, only to find the layout confusing? Perhaps you ended up aimlessly strolling around, purchasing other items? This is deliberate, and known as the Gruen Transfer. The 'Transfer' part is the moment that you, as a consumer surrounded by a deliberately confusing layout, lose track of your original intentions.
We've all experienced it, and now it's starting to consume the internet. #Internet #GruenTransfer #DarkWeb #WWW #Enshitification

We are doing this conference at Media of Cooperation in June ... It is called THE DATAFIED WEB, and it will be a blast! Registration for #RESAW25 is now open. Please spread widely, and do not forget to check out the marvelous programme at https://www.datafiedweb.net!
Really looking forward to everything, especially the keynotes by @nthylstrup on "Vanishing Points: Technographies of Data Loss" and @jwyg on "Public Data Cultures"!
FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies.

LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse.
I'm not the first person to be saying this, but the days of replying "JFGI" ("just fucking google it") to someone asking what you assume is a question easily answered by search engines – are over.
I really, really hate what the web has become.

Tuli mieleen internetin vielä ollessa suhteellisen uusi, kun internet kirkui tuskasta työt aloittaessaan. Kuinka veljeni kanssa heiteltiim isälle, joka oli kauhean kiinnostunut uudesta ihmeellisestä internetistä, hakusanoja.
Silloin oli vielä sivusto goatse ja se alku, - oliko se kuva vai animaatio. Kyllä ukko suuttui meille, mutta haki silti kun ehdotettiin bukkakea seuraavaksi.
onko goatse sivu yhä pystyssä.. En uskalla mennä katsomaan?
On March 12, 1989, Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal for an information management system to his boss at CERN. “Vague but exciting” was his feedback. The project later became the World Wide Web.
Thank you, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, for changing the world!
#OnThisDay #Birth of the World Wide Web (#WWW): On 12 March 1989 Berners-Lee issued a proposal, titled "Information Management: A Proposal", which used the term "web".
The 1993 Mumbai bombings took place in Mumbai on 12 March 1993. The single-day attacks resulted in 257 fatalities and 1,400 injuries.

@briankrebs it is basically ww3 in slo mo whereas before it was more of a proxy war (of many) - with regards to the economy everybody knows we are in a superbubble - it could unwind gradually or it could burst tomorrow; more than likely it will be some sort of shock that gets things rolling and then dominoes start to fall #mkt deadwood

I started building websites in the ASCII art days, before GUIs (even before backgrounds and rainbow bars!) and it’s something I’ve been trying to let go of for the last 15 or so years. Web dev is in my zone of “I can do it” but not really my zone of professional competence much less genius.
I have a love/loathe relationship with it.
das hier ist technisch (!) und von der #recherche her das beste, was ich bisher zur #antifa im #www gesehen habe; …und ich bin hier immerhin schon seit dem kalenderjahr 1994 unterwegs.
nehmt euch die zeit, zu lesen, wieso die #nsdap immer noch nicht nur nachwirkt, sondern auch 2025 immer noch höchst aktiv ist.
urheber dieses kunstwerks ist https://chaos.social/@michaelkreil. toll gemacht; ich kann die url als webarchiv lokal wegsichern und habe offline die volle museumserfahrung.
To be clear, my optimism didn't really last all that long, say from about 1995 when the #WWW really took off, to 1998 or so when the #dotcom bubble started to crack. By 1999 it was obvious things weren't working out so well: The #Matrix hit at exactly the right moment.
But oh, how I miss that brief period when it looked like we were going to get #StarTrek instead.
#NetNeutrality Rules Struck Down by Appeals Court
