@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?

@Edent I got His Dark Materials read by Philip Pullman himself accompanied by a voice cast from a charity shop. It's nearly 14 hours long. I tend to listen in the car on long-ish journeys, but that took weeks. The BBC productions of Pratchett, Douglas Adams and Gaiman are as excellent as @neil suggest. I'm still hunting/saving for the LoTR production with Ian Holm as Frodo

@sborrill @Edent @neil It is my belief that about 10 years from now, someone should make another production of Lord of the Rings, with Elijah Wood as Bilbo. And then ~30 years after that...

@neil @Edent I've got a big collection of (mostly) BBC radio plays that I've accumulated over the years of recording them, and, while there's a lot of variability in quality, there's a lot of absolutely brilliant ones. Mostly, I listen to them while cooking, and I did a lot while commuting in the car a few years back.

@sborrill@justfollow.me.uk @Edent@mastodon.social @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk I bought that LotR set when it was released on gold CDs. We'd nearly worn out the cassettes.

@Edent re: doing retirement wrong. It took me two and a half years after leaving my gig to feel like I was really adjusted to the new reality. Curious to see if you have a similar trajectory.

@Edent I can highly recommend Duck Spicy while you are there.

@Edent My blog was text-only for about a year until I redesigned it a few weeks ago. I kept the text-only posts though, adding “.txt" to URLs.

For posts with lots of images, it still looks good.

@netopwibby nice!

[henryk@chaos.social]

@Edent Tbf, there have not been a lot of changes to the gopher protocol in the past 7 years.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@henryk sure, but there have been a *lot* of changes to Android in that time. Both in terms of UI and security model.

[msfjarvis@androiddev.social]

@Edent Doesn't seem like it, my search a few months ago came up similarly empty.

@Edent perhaps it works with Firefox plus extension.

@Edent

Overbite still works fine although as I understand things the Android branch is no longer being updated.

https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange seems to be able to open gopher links as well

[b34n5@todon.eu]

@Edent You can use Lagrange for Gopher navigation. The app can be used for the Gemini protocol as well.

[happy@mastodon.sdf.org]

@Edent

There are also proxy services allowing one to view gopher from a Web browser such as the one found Floodgap https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/1/

[edent@mastodon.social]

@b34n5 I can't find an Android version of that - can you share a link, please?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@happy sadly not.

@Edent
I very rarely use chrome so wasn't aware of that specific issue
