I could offer advice up, but I'm not technical. Will make another thread for discussion As always, appreciate the service you're providing. Note: For some reason gmail is only giving the person who last responded as an email to reply to rather than the mailing list email.

No worries at all. given I tend to bulk update? It can be..... spammy
and thus crowd other users out.

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.

https://www.electronicdesign.com/technologies/iot/article/21164477/morse-micro-whats-the-difference-between-wifi-halow-and-traditional-wifi 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?' On 11/3/21 8:05 AM, Devin Prater wrote: > Do we have to go PDF? Oh dear God. Okay if they're textual in nature, > sure.

Two things I would like clarification on from your todo. folder directory broken over gemini list user files over gemini Also, while you have a thing in the tips and tricks that lists finger as an option, a link to what constitutes a valid finger file would be nice. Like 'can i put anything there' or does it only recognize certain field names?' Either way, I appreciate the fact you're updating things man.
