Do you believe one can survive surfing the web using a text-based web browser? (i.e: Lynx or W3m) no CSS no Bling for at least 24 hours ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
@aelaraji At work? Not a chance. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Private life? Sure. There was a regular community event called โ€œA week in the TTYโ€ over at nixers.net, where we spent a week only in text mode. It was easily doable.

There are some things where a graphical browser is pretty much mandatory these days. Online banking comes to mind. I *could* in theory physically go to the bank, but Iโ€™m way too lazy for that. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Netflix is more popular nowadays and I wouldnโ€™t want to miss that, either.

Decided to give it a try and I'm already starting to feal the pain LOL
@movq Oh! Thank you for the link! I'm checking it right away!
I hope I don't get slapped with a "HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required" there as well.

As for Netflix and Co. I can do without for the time being. I guess I have binge watched enough content I feel like I miss missing it. ๐Ÿ˜‚
@aelaraji Ah, right, you were only talking about 24 hours. I think I can manage without Netflix for a day. ๐Ÿ˜…

@movq Well trust me if I tell you that most of my past addictions have started with a "Just once" or a "24 hrs challenge".

I'm reading through the Week Week In TTY thread you've linked earlier and oh-boy!
People went All In TTY and no X ... I'm tempted! Although I do not believe I can last more than a couple of hours ๐Ÿ˜… but I'll keep on reading.

And again, Thank you!
@aelaraji Why not, give it a shot! ๐Ÿ˜…

I think I even integrated my password manager into tmux at some point. Thereโ€™s a lot that you can do.

Well! My 24 hrs without a GUI Web browser was quite of a nice experience.
As a matter of fact, and as long as I'm not doing any 3D work, I kind of don't need gui applications as much as it feels like.

Even though, a couple of websites asked me to eff off because they need
JavaScript to work. Some others handed me a cold "402 Upgrade Required" client
error response... (LOL let's not even talk about how Github repos looked
and felt like). I have managed to fix a couple of things I've been meaning to
for quite some time but never got, mainly to because of my browsing
habits. I tend to open a lot of tabs, read some, get distracted then
open some more and down the rabbit hole (or shall I say tabs) I go.

All in all, it was quite a nice experience.
How nice? It was an "I'm dropping into a full TTY experience for another
24 hrs" kind of nice!

Although, I miss using a mouse already, but hey, I would have never
heard about gpm(8) otherwise.
@aelaraji well done! Now do 48 hours without a computer, nor Internet. Baby steps! ๐Ÿ˜…
@bender LOL! Been there, done that! I can go on for weeks without any of it. Not even a phone, I don't have that many responsibilities to need one on me all the time. Life is much simpler like that.
The last time I did so, I ended up injuring my neck reading an old stash of books we've had laying around at home. It took months to heal. xD
