In the process of tweaking my little static HTML index/thumbnail creator so that it a) properly supports dark/ligh mode and, more importantly, b) gracefully degrades on ancient browsers.

Why? Because I often exchange data via HTTP with old systems and my tooling automatically invokes that indexer/thumbnailer script. 🥴 It’s really annoying when I just see garbage in Netscape 2 or IE5.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Huh, this is the first time I heard of IBM WebExplorer.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m not surprised, it’s pretty archaic. It’s the only browser readily available on OS/2 Warp 3 and 4, though. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sure, but I would have expected that I would have read about it somewhere at least once. Anyway.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Well, I guess that goes to show how completely irrelevant it was to Computer History. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, right. :-D
