Reception
This may be seen as a modern replacement for the Lynx text-based web browser.[5] Others have felt displaying the web in text is impractical.[6]
gollark: "Infowar" sounds cooler, but it's more general.
gollark: Which is a big difference.
gollark: Intellectual property isn't really the same as regular property and this is probably now a <#583698936334647308> thing, oops.
gollark: I think they should probably just be capped at 8 years or so, or a bit longer if the author provides the source, to be released when it's up.
gollark: Also, proprietary programs *may* use incompatible library versions and stuff sometimes, but you can probably get around that.
