Today, I tried to open a gemini:// link in my webbrowser. It didn't work. Then, I discovered <a href="https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora" rel="ugc">https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora</a> and now I still don't really know the what and more importantly, the why of that strange but _very_ alluring protocol. It reminds me of <a href="https://bytecellar.com/bbsing/" rel="ugc">https://bytecellar.com/bbsing/</a> - something that I need to explore further on my 486 machine.
