Posting from the CLI

So this is a textboard, right? Then tell me, why in the name of the 4nush4xx0r do I have to use a 10 GB browser that uses more resources than my OS and can render all the graphics you want and compiles in two weeks to shitpost here?? There must be a sane way to use this board. And please don't tell me that lynx is a sane way. Will curl do it?

hax my w3mnus

And please don't tell me that lynx is a sane way.

Listen here, jerkface

Gemini protocol is just for autists like you.

Nobody posts here, only spambots.... how did you find this dead board?

Wow you are hell of an advanced spambot. Did you happen to be created by the emotet devs?

Our local darpanet expert, Cudder, has joined effort with FrozenAnus to developed a Dildo browser for the Nintendo NES.

Reported to NSA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Computer_Network_System
Nintendo shipped a lifetime total of 130,000 Famicom Modems and the Famicom Network System had 15,000-20,000 users for stock brokering services, 14,000 for banking, and 3,000 businesses for Super Mario Club.[4]:78 Even after the resolution of stability problems with the NTT's network launch, the Famicom Network System's market presence was considered "weak" for its whole lifetime for various reasons: product usability; competition from personal computers and other appliances; and the difficult nature of early adoption by the technologically unsavvy financial customer. Many found it just as easy to do transactions by traditional means, and the total home networking market was very small because people didn't want to rewire their house for their television or to have their telephone line occupied.[1][4]:78 Uemura stated that the system's most popular application was ultimately home-based betting on horse racing, with a peak of 100,000 Famicom Modem units used and capturing 35% of Japan's fanatical online horse betting market even among diverse competition from PCs and from dedicated horse betting network terminal appliances.[1]

Holy shit, why wasn't this spammed up and down /prague/ years ago.

>>1 You can use NetSurf to browse this site.
>>12 Because it's useless.

I've taken a look at the gemini protocol.

There are GUI clients. I used lagrange and it was pleasureable to use and aestethic. Loading sites is quite slow though and half of them fail to load.

The population are freetards and the data is the usual: Basic Unix usage, toy projects, gender, made up languages, quirky hobbies.

Inline images and videos aren't implemented. The whole things is equivalent to nonstandard 1992 html.

>>14
That's an opinion. I also had a look and it's just about everything I wanted from the web to begin with. I want to stay there forever.

>>15
What's the appeal? Im honestly interested.

To me this is so bland. Every site looks and feels the same. Same layout, no color, sound, video, image. Even the content is the same, everyone has the same opinions about the same topics.

>>16
i can discern several benefits
1.keeps the bling-chasing normies away.
2.keeps people focused on function over form.
3.removes all cruft/bloat from communication, reducing bandwidth/storage cost.
4.allows to read websites through shell scripts.
5.keeping everything the same pleases autists who like familiar things.(if it didn't break don't fix it)
6.you can host images/video/file separately from pure hypertext. there is less
mandatory traffic to embed media that people are forced to download.

>>16
The appeal is just what you said: there's no intrinsic reward for browsing more, so once you've had what you were looking for, you can stop and go back to haxxing your anus. Also what >>17 said.

Gemini is filled with the same they/them communist freaks that ruined Gopher.

>>19
there is little there to appeal to normies, but once its gets popular
there will be a huge migration(likely once browsers add support).

>>19
Gopher died over 20 years ago by http

>>19
The lunatic fringe was also strong in the olden Internet. Trannies with conlangs. Weeb furries all over Usenet w/ their "raised tails!" sigs. You know, people like you, me, and the other two on this board.

Difference is, on Gemini you only interact with the cancer voluntarily; they can't cancel you (yet). Same goes for whatever cancer you might emit yourself.

>>19

dude i don't care that you're a nazi why do you care if i'm a communist freak?

it's the internet stop being a butthurt aids faggot about it.

1.keeps the bling-chasing normies away.

Sure, but it obviously doesn't keep bling-chasing non-normies away. All the virtue signaling on there is a popularity contest, just like in high school.

2.keeps people focused on function over form.

More like cripple design. Avant-garde ideas like the tree-board which was one here a week ago are impossible.

3.removes all cruft/bloat from communication, reducing bandwidth/storage cost.

Doesn't seem to support compression so this isn't true.

4.allows to read websites through shell scripts.

Just like html.

5.keeping everything the same pleases autists who like familiar things.(if it didn't break don't fix it)

Eh sure.

6.you can host images/video/file separately from pure hypertext. there is less mandatory traffic to embed media that people are forced to download.

This is also possible with the internet. You can even configure your browser to stop requesting them if you still want to visit sites that don't adhere to your autism.

>>18
I don't think being uninteresting is a good thing. Furthermore I hope haxxing your anus is important enough to give up the biggest library of knowledge humanity ever created.

>>20
That's because of the data, not the protocol. If it became a hub for piracy and porn it would be popular in an instant.

>>23
Quite sure the argument is that the data there has become more noise than signal making gopher useless.

>>24
>it obviously doesn't keep bling-chasing non-normies away.
The absence of bling does keep all bling-chasers away, normies or not. Maybe you mean something different with "bling" than JavaScript candy of the day?

>Doesn't seem to support compression so this isn't true.
Gemini forces TLS, and TLS supports compression. Did you read the spec? It's not long.

Your issue seems to be that you think Gemini should, would, or could replace HTTP, HTML, and the WWW. But just the canonical front page of Geminispace says that this isn't the case. Rather, Gemini is our own Moon Las Vegas without either blackjack or hookers; a constructive solution that enforces privacy and non-extensibility by design.

I have to lol at privacy concerns, nigga you don't even get two monthly visitors!

>>25
Yes I meant the social bling chasing. Bling chasing how you meant it isn't a thing.

Gemini forces TLS, and TLS supports compression. Did you read the spec? It's not long.
3.3 Response bodies There is no support for compression.
TLS Compression is Deprecated in TLS 1.3

I did skim it. Maybe you should too.

Privacy is shit when there's only 20 people using the service. Your patterns will be recognized.

>>26,27
What's your problem with overkilling it wrt privacy? Working too well for your glowie tastes?

>>28 If there's 20 people on a server identifying a single one will be easy. Like on here: You don't even need software to spot a frozen anus post. Software recognizing patterns easy glow action.

>>29
And that invalidates e.g. absence of a non-TLS option, how? What about non-extensibility, that there isn't a User-Agent header and will never be?

>>30 Probability of compression in the future has no effect on the present.
