    “That’s why I always have 10GB of free ram on my laptop with 16GB of ram” lol, good job sport I wonder if they browse the web on command line? lynx and curl can be rough. I take the position that sometimes gui is good, sometimes tui, sometimes cli. ncurses is a headache to write for.

      lynx can be rough

      i guess it’s pretty usable if you are stuck in a desert island with a 35 year old computer, a modern ish debian disc and perfect wired access to the internet.

      Yeah browsers are the main GUI I use. w3m is great for reading blogs and those types of things but like you say, not the best experience. And we can’t really blame it on them, the modern web is horribly written most of the time.
