Re: "Image over wire, rich content for gemini, see the picture!"
@stack, I would need to think about that. But one of the reason I could think of is math notations. I could parse simple latex in my head, but still, It's nicer to just see it. Of course, I could post latex source code, but the latex software is complex. Think of image over gemini not as pure text++ but pdf--. Each format will surely have their own best use cases.
@drh3xx I'm dyslexic myself, the post was edited in libreoffice in OpenDyslexcis font, I should have made sure the font is copied over to GIMP as well. I should write something on my struggle with the education system.
@skyjake I think if there is a way to turn off interpolation in image views, one could make small

image file filled with text look sharp. then again, if the image is too small pictures will not look good. there is no point in using image for pure text.
I would like to thank everyone for there input. reading you replies, I feel like hearing myself talking but from different vantage points.
Math is a good use for that, as well as various illustrations. I am against abusing images to express 'rich text', the kind specifically not supported by Gemini. Some of us are here specifically to avoid that, and be in control of how our text is rendered for us.
Image over wire, rich content for gemini, see the picture!
