"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.

    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 for most things. And we can't really blame it on them, the modern web is horribly written most of the time.

    I would totally love to browse a simpler "layer" of the Internet that could be navigated with Lynx! The biggest downside would be lack of images. (Maybe Lynx can do images?)

    But I could see an indie web of little blogs and human created artifacts that would be surfed kinda like logging into a MUD. :D
