"In Mandarin Chinese, World Wide Web is commonly translated via a phono-semantic matching to wàn wéi wǎng (万维网), which satisfies www and literally means "10,000-dimensional net", a translation that reflects the design concept and proliferation of the World Wide Web."

Unfortunately the folks at the #eurovision2025 are mixing up the
#internet and the #web.
Folks joining @helvetic_ruby's trip to
#CERN will learn the difference in case they don't know it yet.
I'm so sorry about that @timbl.
Sto scoprendo, per la prima volta in Vita mia (non credo di averlo mai fatto prima), le gioie della navigazione su #Internet senza avere #JavaScript attivo.
Nessun annuncio inutile o non richiesto.
Nessun popup in sovrimpressione.
Nessun "Accetta o Abbonati".
Solo ed esclusivamente il contenuto richiesto. Né più, né meno.
Il tutto, condito da una reattività fulminea e impressionante.
Is this the promised World Wide #Web?
back when i first joined mastodon, one of the many surprising things i learned was that gopher had made a return to the public sphere after decades of obscurity.
i grew up with gopher and archie and veronica and many other www-alt protocols before getting hooked on the world wide web. they taught me how to hunt for things, in a time when web search didn't exist yet.
i've spent every day of the past week adding a new feature to kiki that i'm incredibly proud of, after hearing from several folks - namely @tomjennings and @scott, who (like me) are hungry for an information-dense and cruft-free internet
this works by turning your kiki pages into gopherspace pages through some formatting magic and textmunging. so now, you can host your kiki instance on both the www and in gopherspace, simultaneously.
it will be released in an upcoming version of kiki, available soon here: https://tomo-dashi.itch.io/kiki

i can't stop laughing at the thought of someone seeing #kiki's NCSA Mosaic/Netscape 1.x theme in 2025 and wondering if the entire world wide web was entirely grey in 1994.
(it was)
if this doesn't do violence to the idea of software preservation, i don't know what could

for the past few years, i'm sure many of you have read my many lamentations about the death of the old, small web many of us grew up with.
there are tons of static site generators out there, but none of them did what i wanted: something that could build an entire site without futzing with javascript and library dependencies. i wanted something that we would have had in 2005, but didn't have in 2025.
in january, i decided to do something about it instead of whining. i started gluing together a few php scripts i had been using to build blogs, rss feeds and mini homepages. i even wrote a new mini markup language.
i thought it would take me a week. it took >3 months.
it ran for the past month as globaltalk.network's interactive site, and many of you asked if i'd ever let other people spin up an instance. i can finally say: yes!
today, kiki is officially finished and released for public use. named after my little black house demon, it's small, fast, and sometimes well behaved. and, it's all written in php without a single external dependency. just unzip and go.
it's released as shareware - in the oldest, finest, jankiest meaning of the word: you're free to goof around with and share the unregistered version. build your own little kiki instance, and customize the heck out of it until it feels like your own little home in the world wide web:
