Any way to read Reddit on emulated classic Mac?
Now this is interesting. If the OP has a more modern computer (or even a Raspberry PI) he can use WebONE HTTP Proxy

Finally got my first Mac ever (iBook G3 Dual USB - Late 2001)

MASTODON WE COME!
Some nerdy details:The open source app is written in MacPython 1.5.2. In order to run it there's a bunch of tinkering required. You need to enable Open Transport Networking (Apple Extras - Network Software selector). You will also need Internet Config 1.4. In there you have to play a bit around with the DNS-settings for it to actually find anything. Furthermore you need to host a WebOne HTML proxy on a modern machine to bypass the SSL-requirement of Mastodon. The latter can be assigned globally in the Internet Config too. To sign in into your Mastodon instance you also may need something like iCap which worked for me to complete the sign in process.Expect to do some troubleshooting (since nothing will work haha) or maybe don't do it altogether since OS 7 is everything but a piece of software you want to connect to the internet.

You can get this today again using the FOX toolkit (http://www.fox-toolkit.org/). This is probably my favorite lightweight toolkit. Patches gladly welcomed for a11y and Wayland.

Windows 95 – How Does It Look Today?
One brave GUI toolkit continues to use the Windows 95 look. Personally I really like that look (or design language, as we're apparently meant to say these days). Clean, high-contrast, and it's clear which widgets are clickable. It has the added bonus that its drawing operations can easily be hard-coded for excellent performance.
