IMO Amnesty International is perpetrating discrimination of the users of Twibright Links lightweight web browser not equipped with JavaScript and IMO Amnesty International are hypocrites: they pose as if fighting for human rights, but they themselves IMO perpetrate discrimination and censorship and Amnesty International IMO violates the basic human right to receive information.

I recommend:
1) Don't send Amnesty International any donations.
2) Tell other people about the behaviour of Amnesty International.
3) Boycott Amnesty International.

Their website consists of a grid of pictures and text. You don't need JavaScript to display that and even if you did, lack of JavaScript would just mean reduced functionality, not blocking of whole website.

This may IMO impact marginalized individuals (people living in poverty, people in developing countries, refugees, dissidents) who cannot afford to buy a powerful device with enough RAM (cf. recent RAM price crisis) to run a resource hungry web browser with JavaScript and exacerbate the digital divide.

IMO Amnesty International is joining the camp of perpetrators of digitalitarian digitatorship, where citizens are required to submit to an ever increasing amount of surveillance and tracking and required to submit to an extortion to purchase ever more expensive electronic devices.

I feel

s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards Amnesty International.

@screwlisp @prahou Actually links2 and links it's the same web browser, Links version 2 ("text" Links is Links version 2 without graphics compiled in, "graphical" (actually text/graphical) Links is Links version 2 with graphics compiled in where you can turn the graphics on using -g), I don't know why distributions call the binary links2 when the name of the program is links.

@reiddragon @gettie @screwlisp @prahou I don't understand what you mean. I don't know the implementation details of sixels and whether it would open a can of worm regarding reliability of the graphics interface.

My experience with Linux terminal is that it is unreliable even in simple text mode (for example sometimes I edit a long text commandline that wraps at the end of line and time to time, unpredictably, it just goes nuts and starts overwriting itself and generally goes crazy and I have to close the terminal and open another one). Also terminal resizing is chronically unreliable and terminal detection too. I wonder what would happen if we add sixels to that? Get unreliability on next level?

#links2gang honestly, I have just launched #links2 in its own window for the first time. Hitherto I was always just using it as a console browser that runs scripts for different mime types and has a sensible user interface. #web #webBrowser https://links.twibright.com/download.php/user_en.html

I lost years to not just following those instructions. @prahou @clock
admittedly, I almost always *want* a console based browser.

@bitprophet #links2gang . eww basically works as well.

@clock links2 arrow-less navigation

how about:

C-f - down arrow
C-b - up arrow

it already uses a bunch of emacsy shortcuts, and these two are not bound to anything.

Naaaturally. I decide to look at #i2p on ubuntu in terms of resisting scraping, since the only way for a scraper to attack i2p by scraping is to participate in the network, which makes the network better.

And it turns out that the i2pd package currently in ubuntu 24 is broken. However their instructions https://repo.i2pd.xyz/.help/readme.html / their own apt repository work out of the box with just an apt install i2pd and everything works.

Except browsers other than #links2 and #lynx . #links2gang

@gettie "10 signs your partner is a #links2gang-ster"

For reasons i currently have sometimes rather limited bandwidth available.

One of the few things having basically zero issues with that: #irc

Also: links2 being more verbose about what the fuck it's doing while loading a page, than firefox, is good as well.
