I see. That checks out. I haven’t been keeping up with Geminispace since
late-2022 to be perfectly honest.

So I’m not sure if it’s gaining some use outside those who use Gemini
because they want Gemini to succeed.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a noble cause but it usually results in capsules
being about Gemini and not much else. At some point, you do run out of
interesting things to talk about and share about Gemini that it just sorts
of fizzle out on its own.

Glad that there are those who use Gemini for some utility beyond just
wanting Gemini to be real.


Cheers,
