Trying browser alternatives...

#Dillo: the GOAT. Very basic, but crazy fast. Lacks modern less/vi-style keyboard navigation
Update: Dillo's keybinds are pretty flexible, and the config files is pretty easy to understand. #TIL!!
#NetSurf: a bit more compatible with the modern web, pretty comfy to use, but also lacking the keyboard navigation features I'm really used to and loving in plugins like Vimium
#LuaKit: #WebKit-based. Capable and modern, yet fairly lightweight. The scrollbar is an abomination, though. What even is that? iOS?!? Also, turning off JS turns off a lot of features in the browser, last time I tried it
#XLinks: lacks CSS, but is very usable for basic sites. Keybinds are nonstandard, but usable
#chawan: probably the best terminal browser out there I've seen so far, but sometimes you really want a graphical browser with terminal-ish features, instead

P.S., Thanks to @evgandr, I have learned that you can customize #DilloBrowser's keybinds! Fantastic stuff!!

Also a big fan of #lynx, #w3m, links, #xlinks, and #chawan.

The obvious answer would be to offer suitable compensation given how much benefit the rest of the country will receive from this project, but none of them are young enough to see the benefits.

"'Chaos' feared in planned Morocco power cable link"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn47nmggyx8o

'It is here that cables about 2,500 miles (4,000km) long could come ashore, bringing #wind and #solar #energy to the UK from Morocco'

‘We’ve lost a year’: political turmoil delays #UK-Sahara #energy link

#Xlinks hopes to land a strike price of £48 per #megawatt hour, lower than the £92.50 agreed for the delayed #Hinkley #Point C #nuclear power plant in Somerset.

The company argues that despite the scale of the project, it can be more reliable for the security of UK energy supplies than domestic options because UK #wind #power can be hugely variable
