TechrightssecThere was a transcript for that presentation IIRCNov 16 19:17
schestowitz-TRthe presentation, wich I 'browsed' by 'tasting' one minute at a time (or play at x2 the speed)Nov 16 19:18
schestowitz-TRhad no substance to it, it's more like SBOM and GitHub boostingNov 16 19:18
schestowitz-TRso even a transcript would be of no useNov 16 19:18

TechrightssecThe whole presentation would be a waste of time to do and a waste of space toNov 16 19:24
Techrightssecpost, but the anecdotal jibe against FOSS was transcribed either from thatNov 16 19:24
Techrightssecpresentation or one including the same anecdoteNov 16 19:24
TechrightssecEither way, the content should be noted for the Gemini viewersNov 16 19:24
TechrightssecI must protest that.  The links are useful as supplements put too numerous Nov 16 19:24
Techrightssecand unclearly annotated for there to be a reasonable expectation that theyNov 16 19:24

schestowitz-TRI linked to a prior rebuttal to a similar "presentation" (Microsoft PR)Nov 16 19:24

schestowitz-TRmaybe we should use footnotes for all the referencing, complete with titles?Nov 16 19:24
Techrightssecthe text surrounding the link.  We can study the click-through rate next yearNov 16 19:24
Techrightssecbut I would guess that it is not a good idea to have people leave the postNov 16 19:24
Techrightssecmid-sentence since there is a good change that they don't come back to Nov 16 19:24
Techrightssecfinish reading it, whether they wander off or just forgetNov 16 19:24
TechrightssecThat might be a good idea, if it can be done in a way that works nicelyNov 16 19:24
Techrightssecin the Gemini viewers.Nov 16 19:24
schestowitz-TRthe way the conversion works, it would have just numbers, not <sup>number</sup>Nov 16 19:27
schestowitz-TRunless I use unicide for superscriptNov 16 19:27
schestowitz-TRand then below in footbnotes gemini would just show the text and later => linkNov 16 19:27
TechrightssecNumbers alone would be very inadequate and best avoided.  Nov 16 19:30
TechrightssecRemember, one primary goal is to have the visitor finish reading the post Nov 16 19:30
Techrightssecand not click away until done.  Or at least that's how I see it.  If theyNov 16 19:30
Techrightssecdon't get the information through reading, they may stop reading.  Or if theyNov 16 19:30
Techrightssecstart clicking in desperate hope of finding the information elsewhere, thereNov 16 19:30
Techrightssecare a multitude of reasons why they might not end up returning to finish readingNov 16 19:30
TechrightssecTime is just one of many. Nov 16 19:30
schestowitz-TRnot sure how people use gemini, but I typically open links in background tabs and carry on readingNov 16 19:30
TechrightssecThere seem to be no Gemini logs, but one aim I see is to support and encourageNov 16 19:37
TechrightssecGemini usage.  That is predicated on having content.  Nov 16 19:37
TechrightssecI would think that similar principles apply to the WWW version too.Nov 16 19:37
