Drew himself threatened to block a Gemini agent that fetched /favicon.png on every page load. I tend to agree with the idea that Gemini should not be extended, as there's always HTTP+HTML for that.
- Andrex 5y agoThat's disappointing to hear. It breaks what I would expect from the project's purported server-agent separation. What about user choice?
- selfhoster11 5y agoI kind of agree with him, despite being of the opinion that optional inline images should be allowed by the spec. Fetching favicons is going a bit too far for my tastes.
- Andrex 5y agoI definitely see situations where Gemini wants to be as bandwidth-friendly as possible, and certain clients auto-downloading resources from the same server would make it difficult to estimate costs/resources/etc. However for external images available over http/s, I think that should be up to the client.
