would be cool for it to be less west/america-centric.

I was thinking the same. this is a very american centric vision of the internet - especially when it comes to the websites mentioned

Works for me as a German, online since 96.

Oh please yes create a version that applies to your cultural background and how you experienced the net!

Nice site. I miss the pre social media, pre-hypercommercial, pre mass surveillance Internet of old. It was mostly the product of genuine, sincere self-expression. Now it feels and even works like an infomercial, a scam, everywhere you look, filled to the brim with grifters and corporations trying to take ahold of your attention (and money). It's disgusting and inefficient at almost anything you attempt to do on it because of that terrible fact. It used to serve as a refuge from all the ailments sprung out of the hypercapitalistic endeavours and otherwise fakeness of the modern world, and its enforcers: normies. For many, many years now, it's been the exact opposite: it's turned into the epitome of what it helped us escape from, and it permeates every moment of our waking lives, directly or indirectly.

The site's list ends very appropriately with the iPhone's presentation in 2007. The beginning of the end.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They actually left the original Space Jam site up. I think the developers knew its importance. https://www.spacejam.com/1996/

They managed to break https://www.spacejam.com/ though. It redirects to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ which has a bad cert and then goes into a redirect loop. So broken after just 4 years

Hmm, I didn't get a redirect https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/

I got the loop in both desktop Chrome and Firefox, as well as Android Chrome, Brave and Firefox (though these timed out after a few loops, unlike the desktop).

Were you maybe on Safari/iOS?
