With surveillance capitalism reaching it's peak in 2026/2027, is getting out the Web the only way for the privacy inclined user?

Will Gemini (or cousins) go the way of Linux? Or is it foverer condemned to go the way of Hurd

Gemini is dead in the water due to a double failure: being essentially Gopher in the form of a brutalist buttplug and being intrinsicably unimprovable. Gemini is less capable than CSS 0.1 for content presentation. It's like trying to publish your blog on EDIT.COM.

What we need is re-HTML+CSS 1.0. Yes: without Javascript.
