flo<p><span>"Gemini is a group of technologies similar to the ones that lie behind your familiar web browser. Using Gemini, you can explore an online collection of written documents which can link to other written documents. <br><br>The main difference is that Gemini approaches this task with a strong philosophy of "keep it simple" and "less is enough". This allows Gemini to simply sidestep, rather than try and probably fail to solve, many of the problems plaguing the modern web, which just seem to get worse and worse no matter how many browser add-ons or well meaning regulations get thrown at them.<br><br>Gemini might be of interest to you if you:<br><br>* Value your privacy and are opposed to the web's ubiquitous tracking of users<br>* Value your attention and your time and want to read with deep focus, free from distractions<br>* Are sick and tired of nagging newsletter subscription pop-ups,<br>obnoxious adverts, autoplaying videos that chase you as you scroll and other misfeatures of the modern web<br>* Live somewhere with slow internet, can't afford fast internet, or live off-grid and need to conserve precious battery power and minimise expensive satellite data use<br>* Are a hobbyist programmer with a "do it yourself" attitude who enjoys building their own tools and getting real use out of them every day<br><br>If multiple points above apply to you and you've been finding the web an increasingly unpleasant place for several years, Gemini might feel like a real breath of fresh air, even an oasis - but it's not necessarily for everybody. In order to make sure that Gemini remains a simple, lightweight technology which respects its users' privacy and autonomy not just now but into the future, the feature set has been deliberately kept quite minimal. <br><br>It's definitely not too minimal to be useful, but it certainly can't do everything you might be used to, and maybe it's missing something that's a deal-breaker for you. <br><br>Keep an open mind, give it a try, and see how you feel. <br><br>Plenty of people have been surprised at how quickly they stop missing things they thought they couldn't live without!" <br><br>Download "Lagrange" Gopher/Gemini-Browser: <br></span><a href="https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/</a><span> <br><br>Read more: <br>gopher://geminiprotocol.net:70/0/docs/faq.txt <br><br></span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Gemini" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gemini</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Gopher" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gopher</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/SmallNet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmallNet</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/DistractionFree" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DistractionFree</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Privacy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a></p>

flo<p><span>"THE WEB VS GOPHER<br><br>The title of this piece is a farce. That battle was lost decades ago. The web little notes nor cares that gopher still exists. It was finished once it became apparent that gopher couldn't be monetized (or weaponized). But this is not necessarily a bad thing.<br><br>The web admittedly is a mess. This is apparent in that a company could build its entire business model on simply being able to search and index said mess. Yet the web offers much. It entertains, informs and amuses. It offers a vast array of services and opportunities. It offers socialization with family, friends and like minds. But it also harbors those that would thieve, deceive or do harm. It is plastered with advertising at every turn. Someone is always trying to pick your pocket or pick your brain. In essence, it is a near perfect mirror of human society.<br><br>If it mirrors anything, gopher is a library. Gopher was designed by academics as a distributed hierarchical means of storing, indexing and searching plain text. <br>It is a quiet place with few distractions (shhhh). It has the functional <br>equivalents of card catalogues, shelves, stacks, the Dewey Decimal System, periodicals, journals, books and archives. And just as real libraries persist in the modern world in spite of the web, so does gopher. Both have something to offer the web can't provide: singular simplicity of purpose..." <br><br>Source: <br></span><a href="https://every.sdf.org/US_ASCII/Geekish/various/web_vs_gopher.txt" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">every.sdf.org/US_ASCII/Geekish/various/web_vs_gopher.txt</a><span> <br><br></span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Web" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Web</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Gopher" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gopher</a></p>
