The Gemini protocol is a lightweight alternative to HTTP positioned as a spiritual successor to Gopher. One drawback is that without reuse of TCP connections, every navigation takes several seconds on geostationary satellite Internet.

There is again a pull-request submitted to the curl project to bring support for the Gemini protocol. It seems like a worthwhile effort that I support, even if it is also a lot of work involved and it might take some time before it reaches the state …

wo, i just received an email from google gemini, and i'm excited about it! seems like they are releasing a new feature called Gemini Live1! another AI feature that can help improve the lives of blind people.

"Google is starting to roll out updates to Gemini to make your conversations even more dynamic and engaging.

Gemini Live1 is a more natural way to have free-flowing voice conversations with Gemini on your phone. With our latest model, Live can better understand multiple languages, dialects, or accents in a single Live chat and help with your translation needs. In the coming months, we’ll also bring screen sharing and live video streaming capabilities to Live.

Your data is processed per the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice. As part of providing
this improved experience, your audio, video, and screenshares are stored in your
Gemini Apps Activity (if it’s on). Your data in Gemini Apps Activity is deleted per your
auto-delete period in that setting, and you can manage and delete your Gemini Apps
activity anytime. Learn more in the Gemini Apps Privacy Hub.

Thanks for using Gemini.
Sincerely,
The Gemini Team

One of the selling points of Google’s flagship generative AI models, Gemini 1.5 Pro and 1.5 Flash, is the amount of data they can supposedly process and analyze. But new research suggests that the models aren’t, in fact, very good at those things. “While models like Gemini 1.5 Pro can technically process long contexts, we have seen many cases indicating that the models don’t actually ‘understand’ the content,” Marzena Karpinska, a postdoc at UMass Amherst.

A year ago I clarified my views on the #gemini protocol. I have since been told many times that I have misunderstood it. Sure.

On Tech Talk this week, I had a great conversation with Troy Otilio from @AiraVI about their new Access AI feature, which has recently been released as a beta in the Aira Explorer app. We spoke about where this feature came from, the impact the use of AI has on privacy, and so much more about AI and Aira in general.

On Sunday 25 February 2024 I have to change the certificates of my Gemini capsule. You can accept those new certs (despite the red warning popup in your gemini browser), there is nothing suspicious going on. This is because of a server change from gmid to gemserv by int80h.

Here is an article going into more detail:

I've put together a survey about the Small Internet (#gopher, #gemini, individual webpages, small community sites) and I would love your input. If you are a small internet user, please spend a few minutes and fill in your thoughts. I'm especially interested in the open response questions. This will help inform an upcoming conference talk I'll be giving at mch2022.org

Also, please boost this on fedi as much as possible and feel free to re-share on other social networks and in other communities. The more responses the better.

Gemini markup (#gemtext) is also being used creatively in other ways, such as the #lichen project to build websites.

This clearly llustrates how thoughtful design can result a nice user experience: lichen.sensorstation.co/

#gemini #programming #C
I'm creating a new Gemini browser in C with Ncurses, named (very creatively) Gemcurses.

It's actually my first project in C, so my code is messy and I'm sure it has a ton of bugs, but it somewhat works!

It requires only Ncurses and OpenSSL libraries.

Feel free to check it out, and tell me what you think and what i need to fix/change/add :)

Since I write my blog posts in the gemtext format (before HTML conversion), I find them more readable. No inline links avoid hidden links within a text.

Gemtext is the format of the Gemini protocol, like HTML is the format for http protocol.

What is the #Gemini protocol? Here is a good explanation and introduction geminiquickst.art/

Now that I'm on a new instance, I'll write a new #introduction.

I am a follower of Jesus, mutualist hobbyist programmer, and sysadmin (in that order). I'm passionate about #CooperativeTechnology, #smalltech, and liberating people all around within and without technology.

I'm interested in alternative internet protocols (#Gemini), mobile Linux, real sustainability, and various computer languages (including #Rust and #Zig).
