The main reason for the aforementioned browsers not using libcurl is mostly historical, as it simply didn't exist back when they were created. (The newest of them is links, first released in 1999 - and according to the curl website, th

Yeah on xorg it just draws a window on top of the terminal. It is a hack but one that works pretty well, it also supports framebuffer and supposedly even Windows. In fact many other terminal tools use w3m-img for image display on the term

w3m displays images using w3mimgviewer by default, which is kind of a hack but works pretty well with xterm. It also supports both the kitty and sixel protocols;[a] I wouldn't call either of those a hack. In fact I find it very strange

IIRC the original Java version uses TCP and the bedrock one UDP.

It doesn't prevent scraping at all, otherwise nitter wouldn't work either.

Unicode support is one thing. I frequently have to re-tag Japanese music because its tags are encoded in shift-jis which in general doesn't work on Linux.

I've seen somebody with a 1k+ lines long bashrc. They apparently put every useful command in there. Not sure how much better that approach is, I suppose it's similar to using bookmarks vs browsing history.

Meaning Namecheap treats those living under dictatorial regimes as second class people. As a citizen of a country headed in a similar direction, this only makes me less inclined to deal with the company.

I completely disagree. Conflict in this case is simply a fancier word for war, it doesn't suggest any of what you're saying. The only case in which it wouldn't be a conflict in my opinion is if Ukraine had absolutely no inten

It seems to me that they're explicitly asking how this tool is more comfortable to use than w3m. Not sure how browser market share has anything to do with that. This tool being specialized to do this one job doesn't mean it&#x27

Or one of those abandoned grocery stores in zombie apocalypse films. At least that's the first thing it made me think of.

If you actually intend to do that for whatever reason, sixel is a far more usable alternative (if your terminal can actually process the frames in real time, that is).
