Why do you need gopher?
- hedora 8y agoYou need the user agent and transpory layer to enforce privacy protections. The modern web cannot do that. (I’m not convinced gopher can either — I think NNTP was actually better at that — but like the thought experiment.)
- arminiusreturns 8y agoUsenet is still going strong! It's weird the looks I get from "techies" when I tell them I still use irc, usenet, and rss... and it's shameful.
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoIronically, on HN you got the local equivalent in the form of downvotes.
- Top5a 8y agoThe downvote/bury mechanic makes HN just as poor as SN or Reddit. If one must implement downvotes, at least provide tally, such as on Ars, rather than the default silly text fading (which one should disable).
