Living without the modern browser

After a workday, I used to be repelled by using a computer. I started to use it again when I uninstalled Firefox. Now I just use elinks for basic stuff and I'm happy again to hack or just use a computer again, instead of a bloated web browser.

If I want to do "fancy" things, like book a flight, I just do that on the iPad.

I used to have access to the Amadeus API, and the experience to book flights `curling` it was very interesting :P

Booking flights via curl sounds like it’s a much better experience than navigating the endless choices, options & dark patterns on a typical airline website.

Don't check this checkbox if you want to miss out on not getting amazing promotional emails, great poems and the occasional bobcat.
