I have read and liked the philosophy, no inline images, no tracking, nondistraction, no extensioms, security, etc.
so i went and downloaded the first android gemini browser from the links called "buran".
Then i surfee around links people posted in here.
Came upon a site gemini://hellomouse.net
First thing i see: an inline image that is against very principles of gemini and shouldn't be allowed
What am i doing wrong?
You're doing nothing wrong. Even gemini users realise that inline images are good actually.
Like "they are good". Whole html with its features is "good", but when i want to use a privacy- first protocol, why the hell would i undermine it with tracking pixels, especially since it noted as the very feature of this protocol
There are plenty of ways to implement images without allowing for tracking pixels. Only allowing images to be served from first party domains would be a simple one.
Ah yes. The main feature of images is tracking pixels. And not, you know, images.
