You've actually convinced me that this was at least a reasonable idea but I don't think a gopherhole shop rating system would be in theme with the closely knit community dynamic we have.
The protocol was going to have a feature-rich, shopping-friendly set of extensions, but when this was proposed in 1993, there was a community backlash against commercialising the gopher; read Albert Rosetti's booklet about what happened. This is roughly how the gopher protocol became both liberated and hyperstable in the early 90s.
Imagine if a gopher wanted to sell or otherwise pass on some old computer hardware. It makes sense to share that on their gopherhole: And since payment handling is ~ always legally middle-manned by a payment handler who will handle the payment anyway, the protocol wouldn't need to be extended to be a payment processer.
On the other hand, I would be against paving paradise to put up a parking lot.
Every week Wednesday 000UTC (so 19 hours from now) I do an aNONradio show about lisp and the gopher !
This week my gopher oriented topic is mainly old computer challenge final phosts,
but if you know a good gopher topic I should mention, please share it here !

Hmmmm does echo do the CRLF? I thought I normally
printf "~tomasino/phlog\r\n" | nc tilde.institute 70
which I guess should actually be
printf "%s/%s\r\n" "~tomasino" "phlog" | nc tilde.institute 70
my name is screwtape right

Hi everyone! This is my first attempt at lemmying. Normally every week some hours before my https://aNONradio.net/ show, I produce a mastodon toot of topics and hyperlinks. This week I will try doing that here on the lemmy (and much earlier - this is the thread) !
IMPORTANT LEMMYS:
lisp community https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/lisp
De facto per gopherhole threads https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/gopher
SHOW TOPICS
Peoples' mathematical packages in Common Lisp?
My binary hopfield net lisp package
Old computer challenge preparations !
Christy's June 5 questions !
and I would like to go read lots of other gophers this week.
I didn't sort out music yet. Ancrsprk? Or... You? (Me?)
Seeking suggestions and commentary for this week's show and about using lemmy, which I am new to !

I guess this is like telling people crammed into a cubicle farm office that air conditioning is bad, and then being banned by an air-conditioner-repair-person. The fact that they're chained to an office with stale, mouldy air implies more than one thing has gone wrong.
