The post was about artists, so…

Yes and when there wasn’t any negotiations you can rollback that transaction.

least of which is people supplying your details to a charity of their choice.

Why, don’t your banks have chargebacks when a transaction wasn’t authorised by the accountholder?

That’s the main issue for FOSS.

Lol, 1 liter is nothing. But yeah okay, it could be a liter of water for the poor thirsty AI data centres.

Its a collection of dotfiles packaged as a distro.

They mean the protocol, right? Right?

Grow up.

Sweet peak consumerism.

No you are a scammy vibecoder hiding behind a 14 years old persona to not face criticisms. But we here do not care about that shit in the slightest.

A beginner of programming wouldn’t start out with a full on freemium game with a case prize of how much again USD.

If you actually played the game, you’d know you don’t have to buy gems at all. You can earn them just by playing.

this is not how those freemium games work AT ALL.

a simple game with all the monetization (Cash Shop, Premium Currency, Time Gates) and incentive (200 USD prize?!)

Stop lying and drop the you are just a 14 year old, creep.

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

to facilitate TOFU.

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 For most, it’s incredibly boring and outdated.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.”
