The Cyber Show Has "Exciting Guests Coming" and a Gemini Capsule
This morning we can see the site (or capsule) of The Cyber Show stating: "Site development is ongoing but now settling into a more stable form. We apologise to those encountering broken links, occasional down time and rejections as we tune things like redirects and bot filters. We've got lots of really exciting guests coming, and many older episodes in the productions queue. If you're still waiting for your episode to air please be assured that we will broadcast it at some point and let you know. Thanks for your patience. Partly this is due to the fast moving landscape in security and digital rights. It's hard to keep up with all the developments, from the Vatican's bombshell Magnifica Humanitas, to wars on multiple fronts, waves of regulation and the obvious looming of the "AI" collapse."
Andy has published a lengthy series about "Why I Code" or "Ethics For Hackers". It is inspired by "the Vatican's bombshell Magnifica Humanitas" as he calls it. Some of his upcoming guests will be Free software people - not just security experts (real ones, not imposters) - maybe even a developer of Quibble (see Part I, Part II, and Part III of our still-ongoing series).
In Geminispace, which continues to grow (soon there will be 5,000+ known capsules captured by Lupa), the capsule of The Cyber Show will hopefully match one-to-one the contents of the Web site. That seems to be the ultimate aim.
The inventor of Gemini Protocol (if inventor is the adequate term to use) says in his latest and very new/long post that "[a]ll the way back in 2020, I wrote a post about the so-called "standard salvage computing platform", arguing that we ought to think of Android smartphones as constituting this. My reasoning was simply that these were absolutely ubiquitous, approximately free (most people, if they really tried, could probably score an old and somewhat-out-of-shape but functional smartphone off a friend of family member who has it sitting in a drawer somewhere, for free or in exchange to buying them a drink or whatever), had integrated I/O (the touchscreen being built right into the device serving as the primary channel for both), had lower power requirements and also very well standardised physical connections for power." (He published the same in Gopher)
There are many Gemini Protocol clients for Android (this page mentions "Android" 5 times, but some clients are cross-platform and implicitly cover Android as well, Lagrange for example).
This list keeps growing longer and longer. █
