| > but there needs to be a system to verify the a connection is associated with one human, and there needs to be a better way than the CA system to revoke access. I am not sure that it is necessarily what is or should be the requirement, or that such a system is that helpful enough anyways. If you are trying to do business, then you should need to verify that it is with the business that you are trying to communicate with and not a different one, so Let's Encrypt is not good enough since that only verifies the domain name. However, sometimes this is not necessary, anyways. For revoking access, I agree that there can be other ways. For example, someone can provide revocation files and then some users might decide to trust those revocation files or not. > I'm actually not so sure it's good to provide easy access from the normal web. You might be right. (Scorpion file format uses TRON code rather than Unicode, which might have the side effect of making it difficult to access from the normal web, although that was not the reason for this decision. However, as you describe, this side effect may be beneficial, anyways.) > Yes, Gemini is a little too dry. Yes, and a few people had thought so. However, my comment is not only about what Gemini doesn't do, but also about things that WWW doesn't do, too. > I've always found it interesting primarily because Gopher is nostalgic to me from my first few months on the internet way back in the age of the dinosaurs Gopher is still in use, and Gemini FAQ also says it is not going to destroy Gopher either. |
