#w3m is a text mode #web #browser.

w3m is very simple, providing a display with very few colors with options suitable for HTML to text typesetting.

w3m also has full mouse support with most terminals, allowing for very easy browsing.

Installing a text browser like w3m, #lynx, or #links is essential, as it can easily help save the day when your display is locked up and you can only use the TTY.

apt 📦: w3m

#Links (2) is the simple text mode #browser.

Links is a text browser, similar to #Lynx and #w3m, but it adds more functionality, like a familiar menubar.

This menubar can be shown by pressing Esc, and allows for easy accessing of functionality and help.

Like Lynx, I'd say Links is a must have for any install.

As a bonus, Links has a graphical mode and supports iframes, tables, and CSS.

Finally, I have taken the time to sit down and write about my personal transformation of late, my ongoing quest for productivity and learning how to work properly in this day and age.

It felt good to get this written down and reflect on the stuff that has happened. This is me still adapting to a post-academia life, almost 1.5 years after I shut my office door at the university for the last time.

"Ultimately, the flaw in the piracy-losses argument is the underlying assumption that those who take your work for free would buy it if piracy were made impossible. By and large, this isn’t true. People who download my fonts from pirate sites were never potential customers. They’re freeloaders, who only find one price satisfying: $0."

Hey there, a special post today:

@greenfediverse is a project that lets people know which Fediverse instances use environmentally friendly hosting services.

You can see the current list at:

https://greenfediverse.frama.io/green-instances

However, the list now has to be updated, and the project urgently needs a script coder to help with this. Can you help?

If you are interested, please DM the project leader at @greenfediverse

We are now automatically scanning apps for API Key Identifiers like #GoogleAnalytics' ga_trackingId that are used to enable tracking APIs. If your app includes these, it will be marked with the `Trackers` Anti-Feature. To fix that, either remove the tracking API Key entirely or move it out of the build flavor used by F-Droid.

Carnet is a free open source alternative to Google Keep. It's a note-taking app that can be synced online. You can follow at:

I like how #Google now displays the cookie/tracking consent banner *full-page*, blocking any and all functionality of their search.

This means that for the bit more privacy conscious among us, who up until now just used private browsing mode Google search is effectively unusable.

Meanwhile, #DuckDuckGo and other privacy-conscious search engines have no cookie/tracking consent banner.

Google tried to be smart and push users to "just agree", instead they're pushing more users away. 👍
