Linux users who want to read @annaleen's piece about the open social web in The Atlantic, but don't have a subscription -- the way I do it is to use Lynx, the text-based web browser, in a terminal.

If you don't have Lynx, install it, then, in a terminal:

lynx
https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/05/social-media-centralism-fediverse/674041/

As it loads, reject any cookies with <Shift>V, and there you go.

I use this technique all the time for NYT and WP articles.

Social Media Has Entered Its Chaos Era

Facebook and Twitter seem less relevant by the day. They may be replaced by new “federated” platforms.

The Atlantic
And you linux folks know, of course, that you don't have to type that URL, because you can copy it with <Ctrl>C, then paste it into the terminal with <Shift><Ctrl>v. Less keystrokes FTW.

@dana post more random terminal stuff

>cd can go back more than once
cd ../../..

@FartsMusically top is cool. htop even more cooler. 😜

@dana I hear you, I do. I've taken it into consideration.

But for me? Personally?

@FartsMusically Hmm. Gotta check that one out.
@dana it even has an optional web console. I just use the terminal. Some guy's overkill idea for system monitoring.
@FartsMusically Tried it just now. Better layout than top. Thanks.
