Posting from the CLI

So this is a textboard, right? Then tell me, why in the name of the 4nush4xx0r do I have to use a 10 GB browser that uses more resources than my OS and can render all the graphics you want and compiles in two weeks to shitpost here?? There must be a sane way to use this board. And please don't tell me that lynx is a sane way. Will curl do it?

1.keeps the bling-chasing normies away.

Sure, but it obviously doesn't keep bling-chasing non-normies away. All the virtue signaling on there is a popularity contest, just like in high school.

2.keeps people focused on function over form.

More like cripple design. Avant-garde ideas like the tree-board which was one here a week ago are impossible.

3.removes all cruft/bloat from communication, reducing bandwidth/storage cost.

Doesn't seem to support compression so this isn't true.

4.allows to read websites through shell scripts.

Just like html.

5.keeping everything the same pleases autists who like familiar things.(if it didn't break don't fix it)

Eh sure.

6.you can host images/video/file separately from pure hypertext. there is less mandatory traffic to embed media that people are forced to download.

This is also possible with the internet. You can even configure your browser to stop requesting them if you still want to visit sites that don't adhere to your autism.

I don't think being uninteresting is a good thing. Furthermore I hope haxxing your anus is important enough to give up the biggest library of knowledge humanity ever created.

That's because of the data, not the protocol. If it became a hub for piracy and porn it would be popular in an instant.

Quite sure the argument is that the data there has become more noise than signal making gopher useless.
