@jon@vivaldi.net Hands down Lynx. No javascript, no images, no self-playing movies.

That said: Ubuntu 24.04.1 works very well. Feels faster than the prior long-term stable release (22.04.3) in the same laptop; perhaps it’s the graphics which seem snappier.

@superkret@feddit.org Yikes.

@superkret@feddit.org Oh I did choose the suggested OS, but lsb_release -a says “Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)” …

@superkret@feddit.org Having installed Debian bookworm in a raspberry pi recently, the stable Debian release isn’t without its warts unfortunately.

And just now, as seen at the bottom of a blog post:

“Post a Comment
Unfortunately because of spam with embedded links (which then flag up warnings about the whole site on some browsers), I have to personally moderate all comments. As a result, your comment may not appear for some time. In addition, I cannot publish comments with links to websites because it takes too much time to check whether these sites are legitimate.”

@ajsadauskas @degoogle

Yes to all. For a while I’ve been de facto using a miniscule subset of the web. My gateway to other, relevant websites are via human-to-human recommendations, primarily in a place like this.

Meanwhile in coastal Southern California: it’s 17C and tonight the restaurants have their outdoor gas-burning heating on. For lulz, or is it just naïveté, or foolishness, or recklessness? On the other side of the mountains they reached 35C and the rest of the state is under a heatwave. “I can’t even.”

(And some have flames inside narrow vertical tubes, again for the fun of it. As if the CO2 emergency was something happening elsewhere.)
