Andy BaioNeal.fun's Internet Artifacts is an online museum of artifacts from the early internet, including the first spam email, first MP3, first livestream, and dozens of notable early websites with a working browser and Flash emulation. https://neal.fun/internet-artifacts/
Jonathan@andybaio whoa, pizza.net was real?!?

Ryuno-Ki@andybaio There is a Flash emulator written in Rust that transforms SWF into WASM.
In case you have contact to the webmaster.
@RyunoKi You're referring to Ruffle, right? That's what he's using for the Flash animations, they're all playable.

I wrote my first program 50 years ago, before the first artifact in the museum. I guess I qualify as an artifact, now?!
I remember well the (Robert Tappan) Morris Worm, 1988-11-02. The museum's description omits what I felt at the time was important context: RTM's father was Robert Morris, then chief scientist of the NSA's National Computer Security Center!

- Homestarrunner.com
Ok this site is legit.
I'd argue that the Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything is an omission, but its moved around a lot. https://www.krystalrose.com/rosewood/library/BigButton.htm
Chad Hill@andybaio I am not at all comfortable with homestarrunner being in a museum of old things. Especially given the frequency with which it is still quoted in my house.

robert daniel pickard@andybaio that's neat!
i'm sure everyone has their own thing they wish was also included. I wish sunsite.unc.edu was in there. getting cc binaries to be able to build gcc was like step 1 of a new box :)
Angie@andybaio No Compuserve or ICQ or 2 girls.
Shoq@andybaio Thanks for this Andy. It’s my favorite new thing.
Brian DearMissing so many things, and numerous cases of non-firsts, which is par for the course since "Internet" is the filter. Which means there's no PLATO, no chat rooms (Talkomatic, long before IRC), instant messaging (TERM-talk, long before AOL Instant Messenger), message forums (PLATO Notes, 7-8 years before USENET), PLATO emoticons (years before Internet emoticons). No mention of COCONET's emoticons which were essentially the first Emoji, in 1987, 11 years before Japan. Et cetera.
@brianstorms right, it’s all internet stuff, not a list of computer networking firsts. No BBS stuff in there either for the same reason
Heh, always some kind of dorky excuse like
"oh this is just The Internet, you ever heard of it, son?"
"nobody used PLATO" (it had more users than ARPANET until 1981)
"BBSes didn't count"
"COCONET? never heard of it, and therefore it never existed"
same as it ever was,
same as it ever was
Also, USENET wasn't Internet... it ain't got no business being in there; it used UUCP over dialup
Harry Wood@andybaio I was pretty amazed by this factoid about the "wouldn't steal a car" ads:
"It was also later found out that, ironically, the ad’s music was used without the creator’s permission."
...although actually, maybe this is not true https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Wouldn%27t_Steal_a_Car
Charles ☠is now tooting from queer.party@andybaio I was invited to participate in the IPO of askjeeves, but when I read their business plan, it seemed unscalable, so I declined.
Because I had not yet realised that I was in a bubble/pyramid scheme and thought that the viability of products and companies mattered.
Anyway, it shot up to hundreds of dollars over night, obviously …

@andybaio This was a beautiful trip down memory lane 😊
This online museum... belongs in a museum! 🤓

Heidi Schall@andybaio pure magic 🌈 Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane. Just remembered all the nights I spent trying to help Jerome to investigate the strange things happening in Mortville Manor! If I remember right it’s was the first game using speech synthesis.
@heidiS There were a bunch of earlier arcade games that had speech synthesis circa 1980 (e.g. Stratovox, Wizard of Wor, Gorf, Berzerk). But maybe it was the first to use speech synthesis for full voice acting? Love the robotic French accent. https://youtu.be/Kc8H1hiZHjw

@andybaio possible, I don‘t really know. Anyway, it was was my first computer game ever and Jerome with his French accent will always have a special place in my heart :) I also liked the music and sound effects.
