Just wait till you hear how we pronounce “Chicago”.

That is exactly the reason why I like the text interface so much. It makes you think about what you want to do next.

In a graphical environment, there are lots of hints right in front of you what you could do next (made even worse in other OSs that use pop-ups).

In a text environment, unless you actively do something, all you get is a blinking cursor.

It increases my productivity and reduces time wasted on the computer, not because it is a bit faster, but because I don’t get distracted.

And it actually lets me set up multiple IMAP/SMTP accounts without sacrificing a chicken to the Unix Philosophers.

The standard frontend doesn’t let you log in without JS, but on old.feddit.org it works.
Same with the other instances I tested.

DuckDuckGo doesn’t ;)

By the way, in my browser, the title of this post shows up as

Google now requires Javascript in c/mildlyinfuriating

which shocked me a little.

So? I’ll take some characters that aren’t 100% correct, if I can read 4x as many books that way.

500,000 pages of ASCII-encoded books.

I’m a photographer and edit my own photos. I’m not gonna outsource that to an AI.

And I understand why some people are fonts enthusiasts, now.

On the console, you only have 256 colors and 1 font to customize your “desktop”.

There was a storm in the desert where they were filming which destroyed a lot of the equipment and almost doomed the film.
I think I remember reading that they had to use cheaper film stock in those scenes for that reason.

I’m just using the Links browser and fbi for the images.

Thank you for this. aerc is going to save my sanity.

Yes. I have absolutely no idea what its purpose or use case is.
On a TTY, it has no mouse click support. It also has no keyboard navigation support in general. So how am I supposed to navigate websites?
On a terminal inside a graphical environment it’s completely useless, cause I’m in a graphical environment and can just use Firefox.

Seriously, if anyone is using Browsh or Carbonyl productively, I’d love to know for what.

yes it only shows the filename of an image. But you can set it up to open images in an external image viewer when you click on it.

Yes I set it up to open in FBI without prompt.

The default video output device of a Linux TTY is the framebuffer.
I have no issues viewing images and PDF documents, or watching videos.

I’d love to put the ADHD away sometimes :(

See, that’s another great thing about this experiment: I get to discover all kinds of cool new tools.
Thanks for that, looks exactly like what I need.

I use Gnome.

Firefox doesn’t run in the framebuffer. It opens under Wayland in another tty.
