So the author prefers a tech world centered on the keyboard rather than the screen. I guess I can see why, since the author wrote a terminal-based browser. But I think the vast majority moved away from terminal-based browsers for a reason

And similarly some are moving back for a reason.

Signal to noise on modern web is frog boiling[1]. RSS, newsboat, w3m, mpv on an old thinkpad - i'm not advocating going full Stallman, or that everyone should do it - but when i want to get to do things with intention its a lovely set-up for me.

Its like having an off-grid cabin at weekends. I work all day on point and click interfaces, after work, i strip back and focus on what matters.

Its kinda great.

I have made a similar switch recently. I grew tired of having to use an OS that seem more and more designed to push me in a direction I do not want.
