Speculative technology has to overcome networking effects. As it is right now, https is the standard and there is little hope of reversing that. If you are in favor of some minimalist alternative to the modern bloated web like the Gemini or Gopher protocols, your priority should be to make such protocols accessible from normie technology and normie browsers. Since I am a old boomer, I care little about such technologies until they are generally usable by people who are not just aficionados of obscure technology. I also talk about when it is PROPER to use Javascript and advanced client and server-side scripting on websites: only when it is actually necessary. I do think the ability of the modern web to be “bloated” with new features is a good thing, but obvious discipline is required on the part of web developers.My website: https://lukesmith.xyzPlease donate: https://donate.lukesmith.xyzGet all my videos off YouTube: https://videos.lukesmith.xyzor Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@Luke:7BTC: bc1qw5w6pxsk3aj324tmqrhhpmpfprxcfxe6qhetuvXMR: 48jewbtxe4jU3MnzJFjTs3gVFWh2nRrAMWdUuUd7Ubo375LL4SjLTnMRKBrXburvEh38QSNLrJy3EateykVCypnm6gcT9bhOR affiliate links to things l use:https://www.vultr.com/?ref=8384069-6G Get a VPS and host a website or server for anything else.https://www.epik.com/?affid=we2ro7sa6 Get a cheap and reliable domain name with Epik.https://brave.com/luk005 Get the Brave browser.https://odysee.com/$/invite/@Luke:7 View my videos on Odysee and get a bonus for joining.https://www.coinex.com/register?refer_code=ndf87 Get crypto-rich on Coinex.

@luke A) Never GNU unless you just like watching someone fuck your girlfriend in front of you the rest of your life. Whops, I mean code, not girlfriend. So, should be a BSD 1-clause, capitalists build infrastructure for other capitalists, it’s how not to be a communist. So, now that we settled that.B) BSD licenced versions of OpenVMS and Filesystem-11, where both hardware and files were designed to act as items on a network first, “nodes,” securely, rather than being designed to be “Personal Computers,” PCs if you will, that now have fancy high speed dial up connections to big bad “servers.”C) Yay, someone mentioned Gopher! Quick, let’s annoy @adam with a hellthread! Weeeeee!~!

@luke @adam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Files-11Problem solved. Why keep reinventing the most recent version of someone else’s version. Find the original closest fit, and make THAT better.

@adam @luke Dude, when you realize that they didn’t need SQL because Files-11 did most of it already… And that it has network sharing security written into each file… How can you think JAVA SCRIPT is a good answer?

@luke Obviously, your not supposed to take this seriously, pretty sure you don’t follow me, so, probably should point out. I’m well known for overstating the obvious, pointless as I know it is, I do it. In this case, we had a better internet before some idiot (Al Gore?) invented “The Internet.” If you have a computer, that can explore available files withing a network, and figure out what they are and if you want to read them, no matter what they were, or where, that was solved before http was invented. And we’ve been going backwards with bloat ever since.

I'm glad you finally made this video, everyone who thinks gemini is so great is guilty of consooming way too much Linux content while failing to actually apply it to the real world. Why anyone would make a public website that people have to do extra work to access is completely beyond me. Gemini enthusiasts are just as bad as soydev web developers who fill pages with bloat, no rational person would make the internet harder to access. Hopefully you've succeeded in knocking some sense into them.

You talk like these protocols were trying to replace http, which is ridiculous. No one's trying to reverse the bloated web.Gopher and Gemini exist mostly to protect anonymity and freedom of speech online, rights too easily taken away these days in a web where it's very hard to find sites without google and facebook code tracking and politicaly profiling people. They're for certain brands of political activists, not for normies.

@luke The way I see it those protocols aren't meant to supplant the web or even gain widespread appeal. They're best used to host the same exact content on as you would on your website. The people that don't want to use the web or at least minimize its usage can then access that content via their preferred protocol. By doubling up hosting like that you can only gain more eyes on your content, not less. It's similar to your Peertube instance I suppose. Peertube doesn't have the networking effect of Youtube so you get far less views there but it exists for the people that want nothing to do with Youtube.

Except another reason to have peertube is because youtube has demonstrated they will randomly ban people over political nonsense. @Sawfish @luke

@jwsmith > No rational person would make the internet harder to access.Gemini is in no way harder, it's just unfamililar.What you said is basically what Windows and Mac users say about Linux.Critics talk like gemini evangelists want to genocide http, when on Gemini project's main page, it makes is clear it's "not trying to replace either [HTTP or Gopher]". It is it's own thing, with it's own purpose.

If people want browsers to add such compatibility they need to first create something worthwhile on these protocols

The idea of using a protocol that is harder to use has appeal, if only because on protocols that are effortless to use it's a playpen for connecting corporations with livestock eager to consume product so long as they keep the lobby money flowing to leadership.Videogames might be cringe, nevertheless they serve as a useful example. The sort who want working multiplayer for games on a console released in '99 don't suffer the same sort of cancer from masses excited by the newest thing.The differences will never be anything to make anyone rethink videogames aren't cringe or thin videogames should be treated like say chess, but as a demonstration of the difference some barriers to entry can create *even in especially obnoxious domains (gamer community) with above average tolerance for getting over technical hurdles* (following a software and hardware tutorial - or paying a console modder to do the work) it is encouraging to see such a difference is created.

>Nobody has heard about this, no normal person cares about it!This applies to 90% of your channel>You can't access it through a normal browser!You can set up a HTTP to Gemini proxy to make your site accessible with any browser:https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/kineto/Some examples, including the main gemini site. When you click these links you are viewing gemini content in the browser you already use:https://portal.drewdevault.com/https://gemini.circumlunar.space/You even briefly acknowledged this at the end of the video so I'm not sure why you would even make this argument. Why do we need to get browser vendors to support gemini when it's already possible to serve gemini sites over http where any normie can access them without even knowing what gemini is?>Gemini is worthless because nobody is talking about it. Oh and by the way, I'm not going to talk about it.Come on Luke. You are certainly smart enough to see the circular reasoning in this.Most of the arguments you usually make are very well thought out and rational, but this video seems really off. It seems like you've just arbitrarily decided to hate gemini, and then have worked backwards to make up with some weak reasons for why. Your whole channel is dedicated to less-known and somewhat obscure tools. Why are you making this argument as if it's a negative thing now?

I see your point of "it's not main stream" but points to the pile of not mainstream stuff you advocate for...And by what cdcode says It seems like there are options to make http work over gemini or something along these lines.Also yea from now on i will follow you on peertube cause it seems like youtube is going to snip you form it's platform.

@cdcode vim, LaTeX, Linux, groff, the command line, shell scripts and everything else can be used in isolation on your own machine. Gemini cannot. It requires networking effects. This should not be difficult to understand.

@luke @cdcode Requires in what sense? Offering a website's content through a variety of interfaces (e.g. gopher/html) is the norm, not the exception. Not in defense of Gemini specifically, but more generally, why is normie adoption the presumed measure of a thing?

@ttkk @cdcode @luke Perhaps not specifically gopher/html, but tls/html two standards offered as a pair, and they are they norm now. Historically gopher/html was more popular than it is today. Pedantic point.

Hey Luke, I know you've talked about religion many times.I was just curious, what exactly are your religious believes, or specifically my question is, what religion do you practice?From what I can tell, you seem to be of Christian, but hold older believes? Are you Eastern Orthodox Christian?I'm not a very religious person, was just trying to gain some insight. Thank you.
