I have a very slow computer and spend most of my time without a graphical environment. StackExchange doesn't let me log in using Links saying that my "request could not be completed because it looks suspicious." Is there any way to get around this?

Natively, it should work - though SE uses a lot of modern stuff on their website, and obviously it isn't working for you or terdon, as per the comments. However there's a site called column 80 ( stackapps link ) that might let you read, SOFU and other sites on SE. That said, a terminal accessible SE chat would be ace ;).
This question looks like this on w3m

Nice one, +1 one for sheer geekiness! As far as I can tell, it's only the identification that doesn't work, I can see the sites OK but can't log in. This solution makes the sites look better but still does not appear to enable logging in, they seem to have simply deactivated the login link. – terdon – 2013-09-22T17:46:08.200
This is pretty darn cool. Never knew about the site – surfasb – 2013-09-22T22:04:36.860
2Yeah, this is read only - I think its simply an officially sanctioned site scrape that reformats the pages. – Journeyman Geek – 2013-09-22T23:49:42.627

I get the same error both with
– terdon – 2013-09-22T15:41:31.310links2and withlynx. This looks like a bug, I would recommend you post a question and tag it as bug on so.meta.I have had good luck with
edbrowse. – Jon Purdy – 2013-09-22T23:02:57.600Maybe Netsurf is an alternative to console browsers. It even.has a.fbdev front-end.
