I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git://git.gnu.org/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).

I for one am glad we aren't back in 1980 on serial connections.

- krapp 11y agoWould it not be safe to assume that, if RMS is living according to his principles, his lifestyle reflects what he believes to be a reasonable expression of those principles? Why would he refuse to use a web browser, if it were possible for him to do so within his moral framework?
- pessimizer 11y agoThat's like saying that priests don't think anyone should have sex.
- krapp 11y agoPriests (for certain values of "priest") do believe only heterosexual married Christians can have sex without committing sin, as long as they only have sex with their spouse, so it is kind of like that.
- icebraining 11y agoWhy would he refuse to use a web browser, if it were possible for him to do so within his moral framework? If you had actually read the page, you'd see that he actually does use a web browser occasionally.
