@4bz i liked #ploum's essay about the two webs:
https://ploum.net/2023-08-01-splitting-the-web.html

i think it makes sense to resort tl a shitty web browser for the shitty JS-powered capitalist web; and whenever possible use #ytdlp or #tubular for hostile sites like #youtube;

and then use other web browsers (or rss readers, or ...) for the enjoyable web. those web browsers might not even need JS. these include #offpunk, #lynx, #netsurf, #dillo, #links, #edbrowse, #librera, #eww.

3/3
"The distinguishing factors are the sizes of the pieces.
If you turn a face 90 degrees from start, it looks off kilter.
Some pieces are longer, wider, taller, than others.
It only makes a cube when solved, otherwise it looks like a jumble of
plastic rectangles stuck together.
The sighted person has almost no advantage here.
And there's nothing to wear off, so I can play with it for years to
come.
It's COOL!

#accessability #edbrowse

@xenotrope hmm I care less about document rendering than I do about structuring information and querying relations between that information.

For instance I want to easily render a view, calculate a sum, sort and filter data and query for inconsistencies.

Now I'm remembering that #EdBrowse has an SQL browsing mode and I've seriously got to try that. (Also, sit down and write a port for #OpenBSD...)

Well what do you know, #redmine works fine in #EdBrowse.

As does #Icinga2!

Web services that have an actual API would probably be better off using something like a #REST client, but this makes it remarkably easy to consume the internet from the command line.
