wakest ⁂<p>:kare_alert: happy 30th birthday to animated gifs! :skull360:</p>
jwz<p>Netscape Navigator 2.0 was released 30 years ago today.</p><p>This version introduced a number of new features:</p><p>• Plugins! This was the first time a web page could make sound, via RealAudio.<br>• Incremental display of progressive JPEGs on slow dialup connections.<br>• Animated GIFs that were actually useful. <br>• HTML frames.<br>• JavaScript! That wasn't my fault, but you still have my apologies. <br>• And of course my baby, the first release of Netscape Mail and News:</p><p><a href="https://jwz.org/b/ykvY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">jwz.org/b/ykvY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Ashley Rolfmore (leymoo)<p>Oh my goodness. I think this is the only place on the internet nerdy enough to help me locate this info. </p><p>My parents met on a what was effectively an unofficial chat room hosted by capital radio (London). In the 1980s, Capital Radio used to leave their switchboard open at night (unintentionally, they didn’t realise it was happening) and people would call the regular radio phone and just end up in what was effectively a giant group call for Londoners late at night. (I say Londoners due to the reach of the radio rather than the phone line itself, people wouldn’t know the number unless they listened in). </p><p>I understand they changed how the phone system worked later in the 80s and closed this loophole off. </p><p>So what I’m after is… <br>- the nature of the switchboard that allowed this to happen - edit now answered <br>- what change would have blocked this later on - edit now answered <br>- any historic info on the period it was left open, or personal accounts - still pending, trying other social media too for this </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>radio</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/capitalradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>capitalradio</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/phreaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>phreaking</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/VintagePhoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VintagePhoning</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/1980s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>1980s</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/retrochatroom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrochatroom</span></a></p>

wakest 🏴☠️<p>Hey <a class="mention h-card" href="https://bsky.app/profile/albertguillaumes.cat" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@albertguillaumes.cat</a> was wondering what license your subway station diagram drawings are released under?

Fontwerk<p>A post by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://typo.social/@typographica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>typographica</span></a></span>, which refers to a request by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://typo.social/@morningtype" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>morningtype</span></a></span> – ‘What if instead of /feed.xml, there was /fonts.xml? Just imagine being able to subscribe to a release feed without the noise and baggage of other social platforms. No algorithms. No ads. Just fonts.’ – has now inspired us to additionally provide such an RSS feed in addition to our regular blog feed.</p><p>There is no faster way to stay informed about new Fontwerk releases (and there are quite a few planned for the coming months!).</p>
