First Post

I found out about gemini just recently and I really enjoy it. It reminds me of the web before we decided literally everything needed to be an app. I never really fucked with gopher so I guess I missed out. I was already directing my boredom at making a static website generator but I decided to instead direct it at learning how gemini works and i'll just use gssg instead.

In the olden times of the long long ago, there were plenty of websites that were basic text, mostly written in html (a markup langauge) and maybe a dash of css.

Now everything is several megabytes of javascript to load other javascript to do a bunch of shit you didn't want to do in the first place. It's absurd. I feel like the "Minimum system requirements" for reading text and looking at pictures of cats has absolutely no fucking reason to increase the amount it has. I want no fucking part of it.
