My guess is it works like Lynx.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)

You mainly get basic text formatting with some colors. It's kinda neat. I imagine text heavy sites like Wikipedia (or Lemmy instances! Maybe other Fediverse stuff?) would be decent with it.

You can open media with external applications it says though.

Also hey, it's not running all that fancy privacy-killing JavaScript! :D

In some situations I imagine it's fantastic for making your browsing look like you're working on something important, if you have a problem with nosy shoulder-surfers.

Saving this! Absolutely gold, thanks for writing it up. You're what makes the Linux community cool. โค๏ธ

tab completion works in more places than you might expect

I've found tab to be such a nice "please give me a hint" button.

  • Bonus tip : Sometimes you won't get auto complete because there's too many possibilities and the computer can't be certain which one you want. Hitting tab multiple times will show the possibilities, so you can type in enough characters to remove ambiguity, hit tab again, and boom auto complete!

...That was a terribly convoluted explanation I'm sorry. Just try hitting tab multiple times for fun if you're stuck it's kinda handy. Lol

Haha this feels like the software version of using like 3 different daisy-chained adaptors. Nice solve!

I don't want to pasta with middle click. I want to scroll with middle click. I want to pasta with ctrl-v.

It gets even better when you add:

Tab Stash

And

Auto Tab Discard

Tab Stash lets me stash a big ridiculous research or shopping session I'd want to return to, under a nice collection label for later.

And Auto Tab Discard will essentially unload open tabs you haven't touched in a while, so they'll load from scratch when you "wake them up", but they're not hogging all your RAM. It's fantastic.

Lol "Fox & Friends". More like "Murdoch's Monsters."

I was also thinking that businesses are bought and sold all the time. My local mechanic seemed to change owners once every several years.

I'm feeling the same way. I've been mostly "stuck" in wherever I just ended up. Part of me really does fantasize about fleeing somewhere better, especially being in a part of the US with an absolutely abysmal education record (and it shows. Oh boy.)

But besides the resources, I don't have some ultra compelling reason for a non-volatile nation to bother letting me in.

There's cool people here, and I try to get along with whomever, but forming relationships feels really high stakes these days since contested politics and tribalism is infecting every facet of peoples' lives.

I've really enjoyed Monaspace as well as using Inter for my interfaces. Maybe you will too? :)

Me in highschool. Man I thought I'd have those friends forever. It was really cool how socializing wasn't so high-stakes back then. I kinda knew everybody of all sorts there, and could hold a conversation with almost anyone.

Once I had to move away to the middle of nowhere after graduation, and they got jobs and stuff, I was left with one (1) single friend that actively sought to catch up with me regularly. He earned the top spot of "best friend."

The rest just forgot I existed because I decided to drop Facebook. (And I provided alternative methods to reach me.) My once best pal would usually respond to "How's it going man? :D" with "Work." That's it.

I realize one of the biggest fantasies we see through our screens and on our pages is a group of fellows with unbreakable bonds. From sitcoms to superheroes, and now even tabletop gaming, I think we all just want a group we can struggle and rejoice together with, and that's become such a coveted grail of a thing.

But the world is designed to isolate and busy and fatigue us as adults, and everything has gotten so socially tense and high stakes it's hard to form anything with new people beyond mere acquaintanceship, because you can never be sure who people really are anymore.

Lol sorry I didn't mean to get all deep there lol...
