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.

    Sure. I should have phrased it a bit differently. My point was more or less, why is the curl developer’s review of the performance in a hypothetical scenario a decisive factor here… That feels like super random information. Same with the other two people. I’m fairly sure this is true and all… There’s just no context given, nor is there a connection being made between the statements and the rest of the content of the article.
