Interestingly, there is a "small web" or "frugal" tech alternative which goes back to the basics:

http://geminiprotocol.net/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)

https://github.com/kr1sp1n/awesome-gemini

With a client/browser like Amfora or Rosy Crow, this "small web" is very pleasant to read! (And easy to set up an own server on a Raspberry Pi).

(Note: It's not related in any manner to the Google AI stuff.)

yeah i've heard about gemini but i don't like that they don't just work over HTTP (which would be entirely doable, btw). so i need to download a custom client or a browser plug-in, and i don't like it. i shouldn't have to install another 3rd-party software on my device just to interact with online content which the browser can already do perfectly fine.
