They answered this question at the end of last week. Gemini access does not carry across family members. Only the family "master" subscriber gets access to Gemini. So yeah, not gonna happen [in my household].
No. That's actually the biggest myth about Gemini that seemingly everyone on HN believes.
When talking about this people are usually refering to this section of the spec:
"Clients can present links to users in whatever fashion the client author wishes, however clients MUST NOT automatically make any network connections as part of displaying links whose scheme corresponds to a network protocol (e.g. links beginning with gemini://, gopher://, https://, ftp:// , etc.)."
But that only says that you can't automatically fetch images (or other resources). You can still make a network connection if the clicks on the link, for example.
I guess it depends. At least in my contract for connectivity is a clause then I cannot share the connection with people not living in the same household. I would imagine it is fairly common.
Here is a fun thought/question: Could it be that (using rss) only one of the two parties needs to remember/have login credentials for the other to be able to obtain them?
But you could get your own data and the list of people authorized to see it, and pass that to a third party. If you and one of your friends both move to another network, you get to see each other's data. Any problem with this?
of course not -- silly expectation to be able to. I'd have to dig up the packet they sent for any exact details, it had a bunch of fine print about stuff like access and what not.
That’s not how it happens now, but that is how it could work, sure! Now the only thing that’s couple is the auth, once you are logged into XYZ app, the cable company isn’t consulted until the auth expires.
