Yeah I hate articles titled like this, I immediately went to check if Thomas Dickey had passed away or something. If something so simple and easy to use, isn't broken I don't know why people continuously think they need to redo the wheel.
- amyjess 7y agoHey mods, may I suggest shortening the title to "Browsh for text-based internet browsing (2018)"?
- papito 7y ago"She just wanted a text-based web browser, but she never expected THIS".
- beefield 7y agoIf I one day have lots of spare time, I think I want to build a neural network and a browser extension that will replace all clickbaits with something. Not sure if it was better to translate them into proper language or just make them even more laughably stupid. Maybe a setting to choose... Wonder if there is a labeled dataset already somewhere?
- blisterpeanuts 7y agoI wonder if we can get Congress to ban the word "this" from news headlines?
- dang 7y agoFor sure. Done. (Btw, that was my idea of how to shorten the title too. When you can make a title better simply by taking a substring, that's the best—it minimizes the surgery. The more titles I edit the more I hate having to make up anything, even a single word, to put in there. And sometimes it's sort of magical what you can come up with if you just do a substring search!)
- bartread 7y agoAgreed. Just because Scott Hanselman, or anyone else, says something is so, doesn't mean it is. Some software doesn't actually need or benefit from constant updates, and I think it's fair to say lynx probably falls into this category.
