  • Basically just a pitch for Gemini. The problem with Gemini is that we could do all that now with the web. They’re just stripping features to enforce what they think the Web should be.

    I kind of get it. I like the idea of a simplified protocol. No JS engines to be exploited. I like building small static sites and wish more people would.

    But also, there’s a million reasons we moved away from plain rudimentary HTML and terminal browsers. Not least of which is interactivity and writability. You couldn’t create a Lemmy frontend, forum, or any kind of database UI using this protocol.

    Shy of reading documentation like man pages, I don’t really see the value.











  • That’s a surprisingly difficult question. Considering all the rooms we’ve all been in throughout our lives. Think I just spent an hour thinking about all the rooms I’ve been in. I’m sure I’ve forgotten some great ones.

    If I had to choose, my favorite room isn’t a specific room, but more of a concept. It was a hotel room with a partner back in the day. We worked together and had long commutes in opposite directions, so we’d snag a room once a week and have a 2-person party.

    Honorable mention is maybe old cluttered computer stores from the 90s.
