While complex tuis are definitely not my cup of tea (I prefer cli tools to be simple, otherwise I would probably use a proper gui), I'm really happy that I'm not the only one wishing for a way to access lemmy from the terminal.

I did, but i was going for something really small and simple, more like an ebook reader than a webui.

Yes, a while ago, at the beginning of the project, and eventually decided against it. GTK, despite it's terrible documentation for python was just a more robust desktop app framework.

I quite heavily rely on sliders, dropdown lists and a file browser and while it's possible to do that in pygame, it's just too clunky.

Exactly. Just as a real world example for OP, my home server has an i5 7400 with the same TDP. At idle the whole system draws around 10.5W, measured from the wall.

It may be a bit minimal for your taste, but I wholeheartedly recommend Alpine. I'm currently running AdGuard and opentracker on a RaspberryPi 1B with Alpine edge, and the experience has been rock solid.

If you just want to play around with it, I highly recommend some arch based distro (because you can find plenty of obscure TUI apps in the AUR) with a window manager (be it tiling like Qtile or stacking like Openbox).

If you want something preconfigured, I've recently found instantOS, which seems to work fine for that usecase.

I use this small laptop mostly for ebooks (using the excellent epy) and music, using one ot the TUI YouTube frontends.

Thank you so much. Works perfectly!

This. They are actually not accurate because of regulations.

Unfortunately because of the digital spedometer, the analog one usually suffers.

My mid-2010s c-class has an analog spedometer which is absolutely useless as it does not have a full needle and the fonts, spacing and colors are made to blend in with the interior instead of being readable.

All this makes me use the digital one, which is very distracting and usually lagging behind, especially when quickly accelerating.

Thanks a lot.

So I guess that it only works for pictures directly hosted on Lemmy instances? Or does it work with third party image hosts like imgur?

I don't agree that the vast majority of the people left there are bootlickers.

Most of the people left there seem to be uninterested in technology from the arts and crafts related subs and that's what's really missing in Lemmy/kbin.

There is no /c/woodwoking, /c/printmaking or /c/embroidery and the people that usually visit these don't really care about the underlying tech. Most of the time they just want to share their crafts with their community and things to just work.
