Gemini Links 11/06/2023: Google in Gemini?



  • Gemini* and Gopher

    • Personal/Opinions

    • Technology and Free Software

      • Introduction to GNUnet GNS

        So, recently I saw some old-ish discussion on hacker news anout GNS, and mostly the misunderstanding on how it work. So this is my attempt to explain it. Espically to developers whom have not dabbled into the world of decentralized systems.

        In this post, I'll assume that you are already

      • A Quick Update And My Summer Plans

        I made a proof-of-concept and a few utilities of Shell OOP, and I’m going to write a post explaining how it works. If you’re interested, you can check out the repositories now (I still have to license them, make READMEs, and etc; they’re going to be AFL€ 3.0).

      • qiudanz tag

        the idea of exploring tag systems with movement sequences originated as danzasistemas-tag, and the qiudanz technique was devised as a way to explore it using the same language that could be used for other types of abstract machines.

      • Internet/Gemini

        • [Old] Collect traffic data for your Capsule

          As everyone else around here, I love a good tracking of visitors.

          Kidding... screw that.

          However, I feel it's pretty good to know if your capsule gets any traffic at all and which part of it people find it more interesting. Some may not care, some may.

        • the internet feels fragile

          There is a lot going through my mind, stuff that I don't really have the answer to and don't really want to debate, but is just something I sit with right now and observe.

        • Why I left Mastodon

          IMPORTANT NOTE! I make a lot of generalizations in this post, because I’m only talking about my personal experiences specifically, especially the ones I remember the most, and that are inevitably shaped by my own perception of things and my feelings at the time of writing. There are a lot of people with whom I really enjoyed interacting a lot, but I can count them with my fingers. I also received some attention when not being my alternate persona, but it was limited, although I still appreciate it.

        • Google

          Hey look, a guy working for Google invented a way to track us across Gemini servers. How unexpected.


* Gemini (Primer) links can be opened using Gemini software. It's like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter.
