I was treating "extracting value" as my ability to get value out of something that is "delivering value". Your definition is probably better as a more complete spectrum, so my question becomes "How does Gemini deliver value relative to the effort I need to exert in order to use it?" Essentially, how does it overcome its own learning curve?
- tenebrisalietum 5y agoWhen I view a Gemini document in a Gemini browser, I have inherent assurance that: - I'm looking at something I just downloaded from the URL I entered or navigated to. If I'm really paranoid I can open it up in a text editor and not have to wade through tag soup and potiential Javascript obfuscation. - Nothing is hiding from me anywhere, anything that was retrieved from the server is in the current document view. - No scripting has modified the document. - No scripting is listening to input device events and sending those to a server. - If I tell my client to render stuff in a certain way, such as font preference, font size, how to deal with links, the Gemini document won't break. - If the Gemini document is a big list or index of a bunch of things I want, such as pictures or other media, I can parse those links ridiculously easily with standard UNIX tools and download them when I want with a multitude of download managers. Trying to parse things like Twitter's direct image or video links is hard. So if you want those things, Gemini is worth a learning curve, which isn't hard (download a client and start browsing).
