slow in performance (short-lived bursty TCP connections) if it was ever used to transfer resource heavy HTML pages.

Well duh. A bicycle is also overloaded and cumbersome, if it was ever used as a car.

I mean, use your brain a little, will ya?

Edit: to clarify, the whole point of the gemini web is to avoid heavy and complex site layouts. Automatic embedding and stuff just doesn’t happen there. Also doesn’t use HTML. So, short-lived and bursty connections, are a ideal fit.

    You can edit Wikipedia when something is wrong. That’s kinda like the whole point of the site

        You seem pretty knowledgeable on the subject, go ahead and edit it! Seriously. I mean that with zero snark.

        Someone without your skillset is going to read that section and not know any better. Just delete it and explain why. I’ve made hundreds of edits over the years and I’ve never even made an account.

        My encouragement here is real. We rely on each other’s expertise. People like me who know nothing of the Gemini protocol need people like you to keep this page accurate.

        Now for a tiny bit of playful snark: I am mildly infuriated that you noticed this yesterday and still haven’t changed it. Do it! Be the change you wish to see!
