  • Well, firefox used to have support for gopher, but maintaining it was too much work and support was removed in firefox 4.0. Even now, with it gopher and gemini being the most popular they’ve ever been, neither of them have built-in support from any major web browser.

    Also, it’s not that the creators don’t want people using it, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that they didn’t expect the level of adoption they currently have.

    because the point is not broad adoption, the point is not what features it supports, the point is the features that it doesn’t. It can’t track you, it can’t advertise to you (effectively), it’s meant to replicate that pre-corporate-enshittification feeling the WWW once had. The creators never imagined it would get as big as it even currently is.











  • Is this question assuming air pressure and gravity loss at higher altitudes, or is it assuming that the full structure would have a consistent air pressure and gravity? If so, would it be from sea level?

    A standard party balloon is around 3 grams if I had to guesstimate, so you could probably figure out how much weight it would take to burst a single balloon, and divide that by 3 grams to get the number of balloons. The main problem with that is the varying amounts that buoyancy and gravity would provide the upward or downward forces.
