Gemini* and Gopher
Personal/Opinions
- When you talk about veganism with other people, or on a blog, you’re often accused of making proselytising. OK, I know vegans who would agree with a vegano-fascism that forces people to eat only vegetables but most vegans are more open-minded and think differently, othen to a better world.
- Think back to your childhood, when your parents forced you to eat some vegetables like Broccoli or Brussels sprout… Do you eat them regularly or is it a trauma? I love these vegetables but I know people who don’t like them, sometimes don’t know what they smell like… I don’t think that forcing people to eat something makes them eat it regularly. And imagine if it’s forbidden. No, I prefer a really good vegan meal, chosen by everyone and it’s often surprising when you tell someone it was «vegan», if you don’t told them before
Technology and Free Software
- When I am sending patches I always try to use whatever brace style upstream is using, and my own projects rarely use brace languages.
- So I rarely get to use my own prefered brace style, and maybe that’s a blessing for the world since it’s so unusual and non-standard.
- Put on safety goggles for this one because it’s gonna look weird. It’s just what makes sense to me.
- Dear smol friends! I am very happy to finally announce a kind of “soft launch” of a new Gemini/Gopher project of mine which I have been turning over in my head for a few months now. It’s not ready for prime time yet, but if it is ever going to be, it needs a small early adopter community to get the ball rolling, and the purpose of this post is to try to attract that community.
Internet/Gemini
- Ahoy! As per the linked news post, the transition from gemini.circumlunar.space to geminiprotocol.net is now complete! There are redirects in place, naturally, but I would like to urge people to please update links wherever possible. In particular, if you run a widely used service or develop some widely used software which includes links to anything in the official capsule, please update them in the near future. The redirects will stay in place forever, but the less reliant we are on them, the better.
- I have a Gmail account. I signed up early enough to get my name as an email address at Gmail. But I never use it for anything, so by default, anything that arrives there is either spam or misaddressed. I will occasionally check it, and I found two emails from one Trudy XXXXXXXXXXX.
