Le Premier Serveur Web - Jan van den Berg

Even kneep ik em, hij zou er toch wel staan? Waar zou ie anders moeten staan? We zijn in CERN: Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (Europese Raad voor Kernonderzoek).

#CERN on Sunday celebrated 30th anniversary of releasing #WorldWideWeb into the #publicdomain. Software vendors and EU weren’t interested, so giving it away became the best option.Iin 1989 #TimBerners-Lee proposed that the organization adopt "a global #hypertext system." His first name for the project was "Mesh". On April 30, 1993, CERN signed off on a decision that the World Wide Web – a client, server, and library of code created under its roof – belonged to humanity https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/02/world_wide_web_30th_anniversary/

On ne sauvera pas le Web en dînant avec ses assassins

Le principal inventeur d’Internet, Tim Berners-Lee, est à l’origine d’un «contrat pour le Web» afin de le sauver des dérives qui le menacent. Un texte soutenu par les Gafam, qui en ont méthodiquement tué tous les principes fondateurs.
