Lynx gang!

(Edit: love it that somebody gave me a downvote for mentioning the Lynx browser)

Alright, 10 bucks for the first developer that makes a YouTube ASCII art plugin for Lynx.

Have you played with caca in vlc? I wouldn't know how to get into lynx but it seems it's most of the way there. % vlc --vout caca video.ogg

I was kind of joking, but the serious part came from the time I worked at an office with strict browsing rules, so I had to resort to lynx to avoid suspicion. I know an ASCII art video wouldn't look innocent anyway, but I was just simply thinking if it's possible at all particularly in lynx.

Honestly, I just wanted to post that the caca module exists. I hope someone has fun with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I might still try it, it sounds fun! I love your name BTW.

Hey there based lynx user! I've been thinking of switching to lynx (or w3m or similar) for reading text-heavy websites like documentation and blogs and stuff, but I find it really annoying how in every terminal browser that I tried, the text stretches across the entire screen. It's kind of annoying reading such long lines, at least for me. Do you know if lynx (or any other terminal browser) has some sort of option to set a maximum width for web pages?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's been over a decade since I last used Lynx, only really mentioned it because it's cool, if not very practical in this day and age of GUIs.

So the short answers is "no".

Sorry.
