@tomjennings is someone who I could argue has had a foundational impact on the web in a similar fashion as Tim but is rarely mentioned in these sorts of places. But maybe this has more to do with what we view as "the web"

Another person who I am always surprised when people don't know of their work is Ward Cunningham (@k9ox), father of the wiki, and the other WWW, the WikiWikiWeb which was like an alternative take on the ideas that Ted Nelson originally published that Tim Berners-Lee riffed on.

Thinking about how certain people get way too much credit for certain things. Tim did many important things but so did many other people who did just as much to make the world that we live in. I see so many mentions of Tim and very few of Ted Nelson and Bill Atkinson who I would argue are just as monumental of contributions to what we know as the web.

@wysiwyggins @stefan oh good catch! I was looking for any mention of the backstory behind Bill naming HyperCard but I didn't find anything. I did find this good podcast though which I am now on the 5th episode of: https://macfolkloreradio.com/2023/07/01/hypercard-1-0-review.html

@stefan this led me down an interesting rabbit hole! I saw that this image mentioned "hyper card" and I didn't realize the term existed before "HyperCard"

Cool to see @pixelfed and @peertube mentioned in this new interview in the NYTimes with @mike

@noellabo whats your new handle?

@xenon `toots` is a dead term that mastodon no longer uses, and it never applied to Posts made by other software in the fediverse anyway, so might be best not to use it in your app

Fuck Gitlab...

hey @pfefferle did you publish your FOSDEM/@HSBXL@mastodon.online talk (and slides) anywhere?

@dansup @pixelfed is this documented anywhere?

I started a "Starter Pack" of fediverse client apps last night https://fedidevs.com/s/NDYw
sadly the way it checks for permission is using Mastodon's `discoverable` "https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#discoverable which both @phanpy and @elk have turned off so I can't add them...

I think Steve Bannon's stunt double just passed me on the street

@raucao I think the project that @darius is working on is trying to help with exactly this issue https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/fediverseobservatory/
