Question for those knowledgeable about alternative web protocols (gopher, gemini, etc): Would it be possible to create a tool that translates http sites to those formats, on demand?
  • How do you think they would look? To get the news web page in your example, you are still going to have to have to render the page by running the client-side scripts required by modern websites and render some type of markup language for layout. It's not like web pages are secretly sitting in pure text on a server somewhere...

  • Question for those knowledgeable about alternative web protocols (gopher, gemini, etc): Would it be possible to create a tool that translates http sites to those formats, on demand?
  • You are conflating content with delivery protocol. The websites would look the same regardless of protocol.

  • Why does Facebook and Instagram still provides web interface when most of their users use the Android or IOS app?

    C. N/A as my parents didn't get me one.
    D. The novelty of a gag gift that was pre-packaged.
    E. That's the million dollar question.

  • You're going to sit behind Trump? Are the oxygen masks functional?

  • Presidential election popular vote tallies lined up against “did not vote”
  • Biden's party did not win the house. There should be no star for 2020,.

  • Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?
  • Look, no campaign wants to annoy voters but also they want everyone to be contacted. Just respond with "STOP" and it will stop. Unfortunately, every campaign buys your data so nearly ever campaign will send you a text.

    Also, they use various services to send these texts so each the numbers sent from will change so you can't just block them.

  • The day after a hurricane is a Glorious Day of Eating. With the power off, the stuff in the freezer must eaten when it thaws. Most expensive stuff first, so grilled steak and smoked brisket, both cooked without power.

    Not sure why you would overstock on brisket though..

  • What is the best e-book, not because of the content, but because of the reader voice?
  • Gideon the Ninth. Hands down. The book is 100% strong female POV, which I usually like, but as dude, I was missing a lot of subtlety. My kid lent me their audio book and holy shit, Moira Quirk does an absolutely fantastic job. The characters jump right out of the speakers and into my brain, highlighting all the understated humor that I was missing. 10/10, wish I could hear it again for the first time.
