Thunderbird 78.11.0 recognizes gemini:// URLs ! 💗

1. Frank Jüdes (Frank.Juedes (a) linux4specialists.com)

HiFriends,

i just applied the latest Thunderbird update and noticed that now 
gemini:// links are recognized by T-Bird, a screenshot from one of my messages:

🥳 That is great news! (imho)

It appears to work for me too... I hadn't even noticed this!

This is great, thanks!
I would enjoy Thunderbird to retrieve and display the Gemtext itself …

Also it'd be nice if we could recommend our Ubuntu friends to
  sudo apt install your-favourite-gemini-browser

Lagrange is available as Flatpak:
=> https://flathub.org/apps/details/fi.skyjake.Lagrange

But Ubuntu devs decided not to allow installation from Flathub out of
the box for whatever reeason :C

Btw there are lots of Gemini browsers packaged in Gentoo overlays :)



And also servers:


I believe there should be lots of stuff in AUR too.

Come to the dark side, we have cookies :P (not http ones)

On Debian "sid" (the "unstable" version, which then turn into the
stable one after some time), there is Bombadillo, Elpher and the Go
library.

Huh. I should make a Fedora COPR for Gemini software (in my copious free
time).

There is tinmop in guix (but an old version, patch pending).

Deb is the distro format, Flatpak is not.

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."

I think it's more likely they meant (or the reason for Ubuntu not
favoring Flatpak) is that Ubuntu is trying to push Snap.

I noticed Discord also started recognising them recently (on desktop
at least), I wonder if there's some list of URL protocols somewhere
that gemini was added to?

Not the official one, unfortunately

FWIW macOS will recognise gemini:// urls in a variety of contexts if you 
have an app installed which purports to handle them. This would apply to 
any app, but it includes my own client Felicity.

I was unable to reproduce this behaviour on Discord for Mac. I assume it 
is not using native widgets and therefore it would not pick it up.

Cheers, Tom
