Met a nice lady at the grocery store

Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing mint itself was probably newer than that kernel. Happy with my answer, we chatted a little, then she thanked me and left.

It was a nice experience, so I thought I should share!

If the website doesn't work in lynx, it's not worth visiting

Man, I tried that approach on a MacOS terminal and it's confusing as heck. Great for slacking off at work pretending to still be working, though. Someone once made a terminal app for browsing Reddit, maybe they can for Lemmy too? :D

Looking around, I've found two seemingly functional projects, neonmodem and temi. The latter is even listed on the official Lemmy site, so it should be safe.
