Mind you I think some changes could be worth considering, but other
than any security related updates I'm... unsure what would be useful
from a public facing perspective. if anyone more technical than me has
anything to say about server side?

For now perhaps best to wait see what the community does (while still
keeping an active part of the community) and weigh in (or not) on any
proposed community standards, like one i'd seen to have formatting
marks for bold, italic, etc... which I am against in spite of my
background writing fiction.

I just have many vivid memories of the 90's browser wars and microsoft
'encouraging' adopting of their specific additions and nonstandard
components to HTML.

Would be interested in that video ya.

Similarly I need to do a proper writeup of the thing I want so i can post to places like this so people can tell me of that exists or not.

I bring this up less because i have any plans (I never have plans.
Never have the time or capacity to know far enough ahead of time when
I WILL have time) or Money to do any of the projects I want, but
looking at the theoretical bandwidth limits vs range increase?

Look. I live Simi-Rural. Meaning not so far out that you have hundreds
of acres for cattle, or farms or whatever. Just an eight acre piece of
land that's more of a family hobby project than anything. And yet that
is still a fairly sizeable chunk of land so far as traditional wifi is
concerned.

Fine, HaLow isn't intended to be used for netflix, youtube, etc etc.

I'm going to keep this simple. While I have hopes that everyone is
doing well. I know times are rough and not everyone is fortunate
enough to be in a good place when everything is turning all towards
sentiment and family along with it starting to get cold (in the
northern hemisphere anyway.)

Glad to see Gemini thriving and the protocol taking another step
towards finality. Hope folks are holding up. You'e mostly been pretty
awesome.

I don't need a screen reader and I can /HEAR/ that.... so yes while you 
can't keep someone from using substitute lettering via the spec so long 
as its valid unicode?


please do not do this.

Davin beat me to it.

The idea of 'well lets just use the bold unicode' is... an anti feature 
for anyone needing anything adaptive, and goes counter to offloading 
presentation elements onto the client.

I'm reminded of the guy that went 'the internet is shit. return to PDF' 
and everyone else just

'PDF is terrible for a long list of reasons.'

So I ask now the same question as then without further rhetoric. 'Why?'

I feel dense but any recommended resources for newbies or should i just 
go to that eternal september link and go on walkabout?

This. I like it.

Question:
Other than Usenet and BBS's, are there any protocols that are purely 
message-board centric?

Sir,

I am rather grateful you clarified what you frustration is at given not 
all of us are able to contribute to the technical side of Gemini. 
Personally I'm largely happy with Gemini as-is, though have a few 
nitpicks mostly about the seemingly arbitrary limit on input text, but 
just kinda shrug, move on, and wonder what uses gemini can go towards 
that aren't what I'm using it as.

As I have posted in another thread I have thoughts on your concept of 
using Git as an '80:20' solution for decentralization and the TLDR is 'I 
don't like this on the basis of some quibbles about default behaviors, 
and the notion that this is at all 'temporary' as it will either become 
permanent, or become a standard others would have to account for and
