Not to badmouth Wikipedia. But things like this are still mildly infuriating.
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!
The whole Reception section is gone now. Looks like somebody was faster.
And no, i'm no expert in Gemini, no regular user either, though i welcome the whole Gemini + Gopher + co. idea. A bit too minimalistic for my taste.
Couldn't have been me :)
But still. I encourage you to make those edits in the future. Sometimes writers are wrong, sometimes they're pushing an agenda. I'm inclined to think whoever added that section did so maliciously and since it's not a popular article, no one noticed. Wikipedia thrives in part because of people like us!
👍
Lmao. Just add a big RELEVANCE? I mean why do they cite 3 random people's opinion on random aspects of the entire concept? It's supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a blog post...
Daniel Stenberg isn't a random person, he is the lead developer of curl which is the backbone of quite literally every networked device on the planet and outside of it. The curl project supports a very large number of protocols. His opinion does mean something here.
That said, this does need to be clarified in the Wikipedia page, and it's still possible that his criticism isn't actually relevant in the end. I'm still reading about this.
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.
Curl isn't the backbone of any let alone all devices on the net. Not sure where you got that.
It was a slight exaggeration, but curl and libcurl are genuinely used pretty much everywhere. Including NASA space missions.
Being used many places doesn't make it the backbone of those things. It's not a SLIGHT exaggeration
potato, tomato....
"... used to transfer resource heavy HTML pages." Uhm, Gemini does not use HTML -- that's the freaking point.
I can't be arsed to try to edit the Wiki page but this is just entirely wrong.
