Gemini FUD Based on Ignorance

THE DETAILED RESPONSE (in Daily Links already) to yesterday's post from Daniel Stenberg merited a long video, aside from a rant in IRC. Stenberg and I used to argue about all sorts of things and right now he's badmouthing Gemini while shilling GitHub, which isn't just proprietary but also controlled by Microsoft. Stenberg tends to gravitate towards money, just like the World Wide Web Consortium.
"My thoughts in the video can be summed up as, Stenberg promotes misconceptions and misinformation about Gemini."Stenberg's background isn't what many people assume (he openly admitted this days ago), but he's very influential because his program is used on billions of computers, not just on this planet but also in Mars.
Stenberg isn't a rude person. He can sometimes be both amicable and receptive to feedback. I hope he'll spend more time actually using Gemini before leaping to unfair judgments. My thoughts in the video can be summed up as, Stenberg promotes misconceptions and misinformation about Gemini. Maybe it's not intentional or maybe the veiled rationale is the lack of Gemini support in Curl (there are already Free/libre tools that way are ahead of Curl and support Gemini -- I've even compiled some of them). ⬆
