Let's all agree to fix our software so that it does not require the CR in the CRLF end-of-line mark. In other words, let's accept inputs that using only a bare NL as the end-of-line.
Once all the software has been fixed, then we can all stop sending CRs.

This topic is relevant to the Gemini protocol specification.

Here's the backstory. I got permabanned for hate speech in r/politics on reddit.
LOL
Agree or disagree with what he says, OP is blind so you have to just smile and pat him on the head patronizingly. Because you respect disabled people.
Actually some interesting tidbits here, if you don't mind that the guy's blind:

Did I mention he's blind? I love blind people.
I've added 'sighted' to my Twitter bio, just to prove to everyone how much of an ally I am.
Now blind people can't say sh-t to me.
If you don't have 'sighted' in your Twitter bio, you're a bad person.
What happened to Station? n months ago, @martin had to revamp the presentation just to keep a sensible number of posts on the front page. Now posts last for days. Just a slow week?
A related question, are there any new communities or services popping up in Geminispace?
I gotta say, from a personal perspective, this whole Gemini thing has been one hell of a rabbit hole. Sometimes I get the feeling I'm the only one digging. But that's okay. More fun for me.
I'm trying to paste some text into clagrange, but it ain't happening. So I'll keep this short. `chawan` is a new text-based www browser that has the right stuff. I can see it replacing w3m for general purpose terminal web usage. Unlike `browish` and `carbonyl`, `chawan` has its own rendering engine. It also works over gemini.

It's a crucial moment worth remembering: I've got an essay to post and no place to post it, except on platforms that (a) require a proctology examination (aka normie social media) or (b) don't work over Tor (aka almost everything else including Reddit and the chans), or (c) have censorship policies that make it impossible to participate in good faith. Question, is there a place to post longform content in Geminispace that doesn't require a login via HTTP, and is not @skyjake's BBS? Is there a pastebin in Geminispace? Thanks.
Local AI changes the game. Was offline for 3 months. Didn't miss a thing. Came back. Like a mental cleanse. Not getting sucked into anything. AI better than search for programming augment. Doesn't suck you into BS. Perfect for autists, hermits, and prisoners. Going back to my 14 hour days. See you in 3 months. P.S. If you're curious, look up 'mistral AI llamafile'. You will not regret. --posted from my clagrange
