Nice to look at but I can hear voices, conversions and footsteps echoing everywhere...

There was also J. Fred Muggs:

Sorry, as a child of the 50's, once is enough...

La Belle et la Bête [1] is indeed one of my favorite films...

I thought 1-2-3 for Linux was sc [1]...

Works nicely on lynx[1] and does exactly what it says on the tin[2]...

Driving itself is an analog activity. Turn a wheel. Press a pedal. Check a mirror. Glance at a gauge. Judge a distance. No place amongst all that for fiddling with a touch screen. Voice commands may be another matter, however...

The North American "feral pigs" tearing up Texas should not be confused with javelinas[1] that have been on the continent since the Miocene...

Anyone who has ever worked on the production end of Food & Beverage, like Bourdain, knows EXACTLY what Système D entails...

Hey, when you've got a political base to whip up and make crazy, consequences don't matter...

I had a chunk of bull-nettle[1] land on my forearm in college. That spot occasionally flared up and again became painful for several decades afterwards...

If you're so rich and successful, why are you busking online?

The closer it can come to candle light (minus the flickering) the better I'll like it...

Sort of the adult version of being suckered into buying a breakfast cereal because of the cartoon characters on the box...

I've been waiting for this...

Long, entertaining and informative...

My lynx is always at the ready for paywalls and other annoyances. My guess is that showing up using such an archaic tool implies you might also be using a screen reader setting like blynx [1]. The more thoughtful sites will even give you a link to jump directly to content from the top...

I rabbited in high school. We had an excellent state-level miler who could run all day but had zero finishing kick. My job was to set as fast a pace as I could for as long as I could to wear the opposing strong finishers down. I was usually good for a lap and a half or so. Not bad for a broad jumper...

The Gray Lady of distros...

CamelCase seems to be preferred by screen readers for the visually impaired. Just recently encountered this on Mastodon with their extensive usage of hashtags...

When one finds themselves holding the short end of the demographic stick, it is time for some creative thinking...

I follow the Surprised Eel Historian, PhD on Mastodon [1]. You want eels? He's got eels...

Only I suppose if you consider browsing from the terminal niche...

Lynx is the oldest web browser still under development. It is also arguably the best gopher browser. It is a standard utility available on a host of *nix and other platforms. I started using it 25 years ago as a DOS port...

I abandoned gopher several years ago because I had to rely on proxy servers for access from the web. But at least lynx [1] supports the gopher protocol. Gemini requires either a niche browser or reliance on a proxy. No thanks...

I do something similar to convert supposed plain text to 7-bit US-ASCII. I use a sed script however...

My name had its origin in nethack [1]. It was supposedly a character that would ascend every role. You can guess how that worked out. But I kept the name anyway...

It is exceedingly terse. Every command is a single character and the only required formatting is a single space to separate numbers. Just this side of line noise...

Reminds me a bit of dc:

I have been using lynx for almost 3 decades. It is still my primary browser. All of my bookmarks are stored in lynx. When necessary, I can spawn my defined x-www-browser from inside lynx, as when typing this comment. The two together are quite functional...
