In case you are wondering, this is about the Gemini Protocol, not the LLM.
"Gemini is an application-layer internet communication protocol for accessing remote documents, similar to HTTP and Gopher."
The protocol has no native embeds (not even images) so all you get is text, or media if you click links to the file directly (also no js, fingerprintin or ads). It's great if you look for a plain internet.

- Xiol32 9mo agoI fail to see what the slopped site adds to the Wikipedia article for the protocol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)
- observationist 9mo agoThe slopped site significantly detracts from the wiki article. If you have an ad blocker active, a huge percentage of the page is just blank ad placeholders. Kind of impressive how bad that wikislop thing is.
- giancarlostoro 9mo agoWikiwand didnt have so many ads and was a nicer way to view wikipedia, especially before wikipedia added darkmode.
- napolux 9mo agoYou will only hear about the Gemini protocol on HN.
- rickcarlino 9mo agoIt does get some coverage on Lobste.rs, the Fediverse and some pockets of the IRC world and retro comp community. If your point is that it has not hit mainstream adoption, I won’t argue that.
- snvzz 9mo agoFor retro comp, Spartan[0] a much better fit. No UTF-8 or SSL to worry about. 0. https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/spartan.mozz.us/ https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/spartan.mozz.us/
