Why does Gemini even require TLS/SSL to begin with?
to facilitate TOFU.


Why not pickup KOffice again?


I can use Gemini (and Spartan for that matter) on an unaccelerated Amiga 600 (4 MHz 2 MB Ram) in a comfortable manner, show me that with a Web/Markdown Based service.
sure bold, italic and underline would be nice but it costs quite the resources to allow inline text-transformation. Numbered List, just put a Number after the Bullet Point.


Honestly, I expect Gemini to remain a niche thing pretty much forever.
It does not offer what a regular user wants: a convenient, interactive, extensible, multipurpose Web. For most, it’s incredibly boring and outdated. Even worse that it requires its own browser or translation through the local server.
which is EXACTLY the point of Gemini. Focus is on the content. And well, you need a dedicated browser for the web as well.


tlgs exists, and I believe that it aint the only one.


Build search engines that only index pages that contain the smolweb headers defined in the standard
and how do you propose to impose that? Heck robots.txt doesn’t even seem to be honored!


I don’t know, this blog posts reads like “I hate everything that makes Gemini Gemini (unable to commercialize, limited gemtext capabilities, TOFU and TLS) , but I actually do like it.”


Do you get irritated by those analog sticks?


Nooo, we need a fifth packaging format!


also: the account has only been active since a week, and its from feddit.online which seems to be quite happy spamming the fediverse.


What are desktop icons actually good for?


Damn this post is so hands on, that it even emulates waiting for a non existent video! Terrible website full of ai slop. Don’t follow the link!


Can’t have shit on the internet :(
No but it is as Linux as Google Android.
