Okay. Anyone who is interested, here is the current draft of my tentative RFC for specifying a style language for Gemini clients. As "RFC" stands for "request for comment", I ask that you not be afraid to share your opinions as to the design of the language and its practicality for implementation.
Okay, here goes. One section per post:
Did you know the town's own @LambdaCalculus ia presenting at #jawncon this weekend? on the DPRK's RedStarOS?
That is some crazy stuff... he gave me previews at Defcon and HOPE this year...It's gonna be a good one!
Inspired by Google's move to remove @organicmaps from the Playstore without warning, I finally decided to move my > 3,000 Google Maps saved places to Organic Maps. To facilitate doing this for others' benefit, I made a quick webpage to convert your Google Maps GeoJSON data to GPX and KMZ files that render well in Organic Maps.

you have to sort of have to admire the horror of late stage capitalism: create the conditions for environmental collapse, profit from the people needing to escape the environmental collapse, profit from the clean up AND convince people that doing anything any other way is communism.
Existential Comic remembers that Plato was his wrestling name https://existentialcomics.com/comic/565 #philosophy #webcomic #plato
It’s Wednesday and this is a wildebeest so this must be #WildebeestWednesday. Not a thing? Alrighty then I’ll get the ball rolling.
I learned an alternative name for the wildebeest: the gnu. Of course that should be gnu/linux!
Because we all dream of a free, open-source multiplatform emulator for PalmOS

Remember, "I don't know, I lack sufficient information on this topic" is NEVER an acceptable answer.
Instead, loudly state the first opinion that pops into your head, speak with authority, and gaslight anyone who disagrees until they begin to question everything they know.

I'm working on an expansion card for the Sharp #X68000 computer and the best technical reference for it is the book Outside X68000. It's in Japanese and while there's a site that has a translation, it's low res and doesn't show the English in the page context. After trying some translation tools the best result by far is Google Translate's image translation. It's tedious uploading every page image individually but the translation is very good. Here's the IO section: https://picog.us/docs/x68k/outside-x68000-translated/
Screenshot of a gig work app asking how you plan to get to jobs. I'm pretty sure it is illegal for employers to ask if you have a car, but tech companies can because the law doesn't apply to them?

No music, fun, friendship or poetry. It's not that sort of topic.
my opinion is that the problem lies with WSIWYG, not with any particular word processor
ME: I meticulously structured my whole document with headings and body text. Please generate a table of contents for me.
LIBREOFFICE WRITER: Sure thing man, here you go!
ME: Why is every line on the title page in the table of contents, when they're all tagged as body text?
LIBREOFFICE WRITER [ cracking open a beer ]: Why? Because FUCK YOU that's why
@jalefkowit This is why I want to write my own word processing tools. LibreOffice, along with its entire lineage (e.g., StarOffice, etc.), has been nothing but a well-hidden roaring dumpster fire for the last 20+ years with no end in sight.
