@js I'll join tonight. Do old protocols as gopher count? SW as mpg123 and lynx?

@anthk @js firefox can support gopher too, through OverbiteFF extension[1]. Seamonkey (which is where I use it) and forks based on gecko can benefit from that extension too, using add-on converter for Seamonkey [2]. Conversion can be automatized through AMO extension [3][1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/overbiteff/[2] https://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/[3] https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/addon/amo-browsing-for-seamonkey/

@sehnsucht @anthk I like how I can just read this and understand most of it 😀 I should probably learn Italian…

@anthk @js true =P, same goes for me with Spanish, they're just so close, and I'd reallywant to learn it. We could practice with each other one day

@sehnsucht @anthk Except, I don't know Spanish 😀. I just had French and Latin at school - and I don't remember much of either 😃.

@anthk @js oh, got confused and thought I was replying to Ander, who's Spanish IIRC;English has plenty of Latin-derived terms, and Italian is the closest language toLatin you can come across after minor ancient dialects like Romansh; hence,albeit the syntax can result quite different, English-to-Italian vocabulary isshared to a discrete extent. Good to know you studied Latin, I haven't heardof many US people who have. I used to own a blog of Italian translations fromLatin and Greek XD
