How is Lynx for autists?
It is literally a good web browser, I don't use it often but when I do I enjoy my time very much.
>>57518813
How does it compare with elinks?
>>57518817
says the person who thinks the www should be like a picture book with images and other bloat
>>57518813
Because most image boards don't play nice with it.
I still have it installed but I rarely ever use it.
I like my imageboards with images
>>57518995
that sounds like something an autistic person would say
>>57519072
allowing images on the web was a mistake though
>>57519052

>>57519100
flash and javascript was a mistake. not images.
Someone should make a web ring of text-friendly (Lynx, eLinks, etc) sites. Let's bring it back!
>>57520122
I'm in. Been looking for a good web project to join. I can host a few sites, got the throughout and hardware.
What kind of sites should we make?
>>57518813
I used to use Lynx on Vax/VMS from '94 to '96.
Why aren't you using linemode /g/?
I use it for wasting time at work.
>>57520711
Neat, was VMS comfy?

I dont think you can post on here with lynx even with a pass.
>>57521082
website was a bbs first not an image board
>>57518995
That picture is so true.
>>57520136
Anything. Isn't this the point?
>>57521082
4chan proves that more than anything.
>>57521095
Butthurt webdev spotted.
>>57518813
Because i don't have a pass and won't pay hiroshima
>>57518813
i just installed this for the lulz, thanks for filling me in on this joke I can't wait to show it to my friend
my fursona is a lynx
>>57521120
why not? posting does not require javascript.
One thing that I never see mentioned when it comes to text-based browsing advocates is the environmental advantage.
A server that deals with text will use a tiny fraction of the resources as a modern website. The hardware needed to reach it is also massively reduced.
>>57523682
>implying there's a text-only captcha
Just use gopher you retards.

Javascript is technically text, yet it's the single greatest CPU hog in today's web.
>>57523887
Only on the browser side. Routing, storing and serving HD video and images to millions consumes more resources than all the JS in the world.

Get hosting you NEETs.
>>57523873
wasnt it possible to post without captcha if you have a pass
>>57524106
I'm a NEET, how am I supposed to know how that kind of stuff works?

Cultural penetration is a hell of a drug.
>>57521196
Wrong, newfag.
4chan was always an imageboard.
>>57520886
>Neat, was VMS comfy?
VMS was/is the best command line OS of all time. Microsoft hired Dave Cutler away from Digital to create Windows NT. Look it up, Windows NT could run on DEC Alpha cpus.
Plus VMS had the best editor of all time, EDT.
