No idea. ABC bought it and slowly has been shutting down the parts of it. They got rid of the projects page, then laid off all the folks working on it after the election, and now have gotten rid of all of the articles.
It turns out "liberal main stream media" was always controlled by capitalists. It was never "left leaning" unless your mind was entirely warped by right wing propaganda.
The new development is that the old articles from when the site was active have been taken offline. Normally you would leave old content online even if you're no longer making more.
Gemini is cool for many reasons, but it fails in being able to encode complex documents, or use semantically or visually useful structures common to many documents.
There is:
- No metadata.
- No emphasis.
- No citations.
- No way to mark up nouns like a person, or a company.
- No way to present documents with a complex heading hierarchy past level 3 (for those who argue that more is not necessary, please consider that headings are basically cognitive sub-directories. Do you want to work on a file system that only lets you go two levels below "/"?).
I'd personally favour (but not advocate for) something like a super-lightweight Docbook grammar which is standardised, and already has great tooling available for it.
It succeeds in being so simple that it's useless to 99% of people, which limits its growth and eventual co-opting by capitalism and mainstream culture, and Eternal September.
Not everything has to be for everyone. Gemini is only for a very specific kind of deeply aescetic technological misanthrope that wants basic plaintext with links (basically Gopher++) and finds little else to be useful.
Love this, but I need it to allow me to break the frame. I found some neat sites, but I need a button to open them in a new tab, frame-free, if I want to.
Thank you for taking a look at this project. I'm glad you liked it.
You make a fair point. I put this together in about 1.5 hours in the early hours of the morning while taking a break from other academic work, so it is not as polished as it could be. Adding an 'Open' button to launch a link in a new tab sounds like a useful feature. I will consider this for the next update. Thank you for the feedback!
Call me simple or provincial, but I really enjoyed "Good Hang" from Amy Poehler. It's a breezy interview with interesting people (doesn't hurt that I'm a long-time SNL fan).
Thanks! Had pretty much the same thought process as you, so I made this little tool (yesnotice) to do pretty much that. Its not perfect, but I've been using it a lot and its working great for me (mostly to get notified when certain new packages are updated and TV shows come out...then I don't have to remember so many things!)
I visited a food service company a couple years ago. They had phone reps taking orders from customers (restaurants ordering produce and such). They used a TUI (a "green screen" essentially).
I have never seen people move through a GUI that fast. They were lightning quick with it. They were like an veteran accountant with a ten-key adding machine. It was amazing, and pretty damn sobering when you think how much work we spend on GUIs.
