While looking into ancient #JavaScript from the 1990s, there was a server-side implementation of JavaScript from #Netscape called... #LiveWire!
As someone with a passing familiarity with #Laravel in 2025, I definitely chuckled when I saw that.

Remember "#groupware"?
According to #Netscape, that was basically email, calendar, address book, newsgroups, and a bespoke audio/video/chat client all bolted into a single app. https://muffin.industries/@wayback_exe/114178681504078070
In 1994, the World Wide Web became the default multimedia channel of the Internet. With the launch of Netscape Navigator and early websites like Yahoo! and HotWired, the Web achieved lift-off. https://cybercultural.com/p/internet-1994/ #InternetHistory #Netscape
Old geeks may remember paying for #Netscape once upon a time, although it wasn't required.
If #Mozilla charged for a "clean" version of #Firefox without all the #enshittification, would you pay?

Das Verfahren. Und das wurde mit dem Chip umgesetzt.
Aber darum geht es nicht.
Immer mehr #Opensource setzt auf Patenten auf.
Damit macht sich Opensource abhängig.
Gibt es erst genügend Geräte bzw Anwendungen, kann der Patentinhaber alles bestimmen was er möchte
Oder sogar ganz zerstören.
Das nennt sich #EEE
Embrace, extend and extinguish > annehmen, erweitern und auslöschen.
#Netscape ist daran sogar gestorben.
iBook G4, Netscape Communicator 4.5 (sous Mac OS 9), qui affiche mon dernier article de blog (2025-02-08).
C’est ça l’intérêt de Gopher. Pouvoir accéder à l’information avec des machines ayant plus de 20 ans d’âge

Yo no quiero que muera #Firefox
El guardían de los docs, heredero de #Netscape y rey de las dev tools, innovador de #JavaScript , el vengador que mató a #InternetExplorer y la más ligera y personalizable ventana a internet ahora.
No quiero. Lo quiero mucho Zorro no te vayas.
Like many back in the '90s, I had assumed that Netscape were the lesser evil in the browser wars.
I never thought I'd say this, but thank you Bill Gates for creating Internet Explorer.
Sure, it was a buggy malware magnet from the ancient masters of tech monopoly capitalism.
But it turns out the guy who ran Netscape is a bigger prick than we realised.
In hindsight, trying to put him out of business was completely and totally justified.
New #Netscape update! The beloved company is bringing the browser back for 2025. The logo looks like this
It’s been 30 years since Netscape Navigator 1.0 was released and 10 years since I wrote about it being 20 years.

Are you old enough to remember when what in now called the Mozilla Firefox web-browser was called — Phoenix?
HTTPS including TLS 1.3 and SSH2. Configuring #Classilla with Crypto Ancienne (https://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/carl.html) to work as HTTPS proxy.
And doing so with the use of #ssheven (https://github.com/cy384/ssheven) to ssh into a local server.
Now I have a #MacOS9 laptop to replace my #MacMIniG4 as my "Classic Mac" so the mini can do new adventures with #MorphOS. But first I will spend some time setting up MachTen.
TIL: Apparently, Netscape has resurfaced as a Windows-only Chromium reskin.
Warning: I haven’t tested this. I wouldn’t use it. You shouldn't use it. Frankly, no one should use it.
