  2. Just tried out #SevenTTY on #MacOS9 on the #iBook G3 and wow!!!! It's not just a fork of ssheven, it's almost a complete shell with lots of utilities too.

    Having the greatest internet experience this Friday evening with #IRC and #Gopher!

  3. Having a great time on my vacation trying out new #MacOS9 applications on my #iBook #G3.

    Today I installed:
    #OS9Map - #OpenStreetMap
    #Palaeomastodon - A mastodon client
    #MacSurf - Updated the browser to 1.4 and it works much better than the earlier release I tried out.

    Together with the Power #MachTen terminal MacOS9 feels like a modern OS and much better looking!

  4. 🗺️💾 Oh, OS9Map! Finally, a tool that lets you experience the thrill of 2026's digital cartography on a cutting-edge Mac OS 9. Who needs Google Maps when you have 16 MB of RAM to smoothly scroll through the past? 🙃📼

  7. Just happen to see this:
    news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
    github.com/mplsllc/macsurf

    "MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS"

    Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually.

  8. The power button on this Cube is a light capacitive touch sensor that is able to detect touch through the thick plastic top.

    The internal block has an impressive clamp to attach itself to the top vent piece.

  9. Oh, hey!
    It was on this day May 6th, in 1998 that Apple launched the iMac in a world of beige that turned around the company.

  10. Sadly it looks like enough parts on this are missing that it’s not easily usable. Would sure love to Mac OS 9 again.

  11. Fetch (с собачкой) почему-то с #FTP не работает: дальше приветственного сообщения — ничего, никакого списка файлов. А вот #Transmit от @panic заработал

  12. @fistfulofdave If not mistaken #MacOS9 has no "minimize" function.
    So why not minimizing your windows to the Dock? You can also change a setting in "System Settings" -> "Desktop & Dock" so that a double click on the window title bar minimizes it.

  13. We’ve been in squircle jail before

    I’m not using macOS 26 Tahoe yet – hopefully I’ll never have to; 🤞 the next version of macOS is less of a dumpster fire, and I’ll just skip Tahoe entirely.

    But, looking over other people’s shoulders, and listening to the groans and cries, I’m struck by something. We’ve been here before. Icon jail, I mean (“Squircle” jail specifically in Tahoe’s case):
