A Gemini client* is needed for the following links.
> Case in point: a water bill "auto pay" set up correctly that has led to non-payments and threats of the water being shut off instead of alleged convenience.
> More cases in point: pick a "news" story, any "news" story.
> "The news" in my lifetime has been primarily - if not exclusively - an advertising delivery mechanism. Accuracy is irrelevant relative to sell, sell, sell.
> I've started building a Gopher server in Rust. Nothing fancy, just a way to learn Rust and dig into the Gopher protocol. Eventually want it to support simultaneous serving of Gopher, Gemini, Nex and HTML. Maybe it uses gmi files as a default and converts to the rest?
> it's gotten me thinking, what would be a next step with the advancement of Gemini. This protocol has made me appreciate reading and having actual conversations through BBS & replies to my logs.
> My last post was about spending some time in Web3 and ... what can i say... after my first overly excitement i now just want to see everything regarding this burn down.
> But let me tell you how i ended up in that place. About a month ago i stumbled upon nostr, a peer to peer microblogging protocol that lead me down the Web3 rabbit hole. On nostr i encountered tons of interesting people and read about their projects, i started exploring the "internet computer" and the whole world of blockchain. It was really exciting...
> Someone remarked that for the authentic rogue programming experience™ one should use RCS. Actually, it is worse than that; rogue (1980) predates RCS (1982) and used SCCS, or the Source Code Control System (1973). Computers are beginning to have History!
Gemini links can be opened using Gemini software. It’s like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter.
