The wikipedia article on electrostatics has the best cat picture 😽

Gemtext has most of what you'd need to publish any kind of hypertext document, but done in a much simpler way.

There are three levels of headers:

# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3

A link is always on its own line, beginning with =>

=> gemini://example.com A link to another gemini page
=> image.png This should be rendered as alt text if the image is displayed on the page!

It has unordered lists:

* Item one
* Item two
* Item three

Block quotes:

> Hello there!

And surrounding a block of lines with three ` characters on top and bottom, you can do preformatted text like the HTML pre tag.

Since it's up to the Gemini client to decide how to display stuff, there's no reason a client can't display images in the document if that's how the programmer wants to make it work. But there's virtually no "design" to Gemini -- it's all content, all the time, by design. Any given Gemini capsule should work about as well on a text terminal as it does on a GUI client.

Want to set bold or italic or underline? Use ANSI escape sequences. Any client that doesn't understand them will ignore them.

Want to set colours? Same deal.

Technically, there's no reason Gemini capsules couldn't do things like Sixel graphics or the like, but that would be a bit much to ask.

There's a lot here that I like; my concerns are more to do with things like accessibility for retro systems (there's no technical reason you couldn't do Gemini from a Kaypro 2 running CP/M, if not for the lack of secure protocol support in the wifi modem firmwares!).

idea:
- create new foundation
- name it Fuckzilla Foundation
- do all the things Mozilla is supposed to do, but actually do it right

Mozilla bought the excellent Android email app K-9 (which didn’t include any trackers) and integrated trackers as part of #Mozilla‘s rebranding under the #Thunderbird name.

They even made it opt-out instead of opt-in. Their defense for breaking the law: ”we wouldn’t have enough data if we obeyed the law.“

It doesn’t matter whether you ”anonymized“ the data or not: If you want to extract data from someone’s device to yours, you may do so only if they knowingly consented.

Russia has started evacuating citizens from Lebanon, but so far Putin has only ordered a special flight for 60 members of diplomats' families. The other 3,000 Russian nationals in the country are currently on their own. https://www.agents.media/po-ukazaniyu-putina-iz-livana-evakuirovali-tolko-diplomatov/

I am a professional and take my work profiles very seriously.

A popular pro-Russian politician in #Poland once again amplifies the popular #Russia narrative about “languages spoken in #Ukraine”, trying to demonstrate that “majority of people speak Russian”.

But apart of using old and manipulated data, he distracts the debate from simple international law facts to vague “common sense” heuristics, where speaking a language automatically means belonging to some culture or country and - above all - gives those countries some moral or political right over other countries. Following this line, one would have to conclude that the US automatically has a right to the UK, Australia or Ireland (and anyone can come up with a dozen of such examples from their region). For starters, the fact that I speak fluent Russian does not imply that I’m culturally Russian or expect “protection” from Russia.

Ukraine’s defense against Russian invasion is 100% cultural and civilisation war between two competing models of governance - the archaic feudal-autocratic model of Russia, and the “democracy of peers” model which has been always widespread among Slavs in the form of veche assemblies.

Something no one talks about enough:

CPU cycles aren't free.
Memory reads and writes aren't free.

That shit takes power. A miniscule amount per instance, yes, but it adds up quick if it's from an app that everyone uses constantly. All that power comes from somewhere, and right now that's mostly fossil fuels.

When people complain about software bloat, it's not just a UX problem, it's an environmental one too.
