For those, who do not know what the Gemini protocol is, think of it as a modern, light-weight HTTP alternative without CSS or JavaScript. In layman term, you could see it as Web 1.0 reinvented. It uses GemText instead of HTML. For folks who want to try it out, you can either install a Gemini extension for your HTTPs browser (which kinda defeats the purpose, as modern browsers are heavy), or download a dedicated Gemini browser like Lagrange. Here’s a few sites you can access in Gemini.
Personally, I love it, although I miss a few stuff, like for example, multimedia, streaming and stuff like that. The memory foorprint is very low, and pages are super-fast.
Web 1.0 is beginning to seem like a golden age, isn’t it?
Hypnospace Outlaw made me realize we missed out on something special.
Always was. Gifs and music and shitty looking web pages were the shit. RIP
When there were waaay more personal websites than corporate ones 🥲
Morning to do with the technology though, companies just realised there was money in it
