Minimalism is a meme, kinda like saying there are three genders or that men should learn to sexually prefer trannies and fat people. What's really being indicated is that today's young programmers are fucking retarded and don't know how to develop rich features, especially on the desktop. They are terrified of multithreading. Schools are making these kids stupid on purpose so that only AI will have the power in the end.

people who believe that stuff seem to promote the opposite of minimalism. A lot of javascript and bloated GUI GNOMEME and Electron-tier stuff.

I agree, that's why I exclusively use tmux and no X server. More functional than any poopy WM and there's literally no worthwhile program that won't run on a framebuffer or a terminal.
Grayson Williams
what about a browser? that's one of the main things that would hold me back from doing the same. For now I use stuff like dwm, bspwm, or i3wm on GNU+Linux systems.

There are many of them around but the main 3 seem to be Links2, Lynx and w3m.
Asher Wright
Emacs Web BroWser is obviously the right choice.

oh yeah I knew about those, and use them sometimes if I just need a reader.
I meant web browsers that can actually display most websites and stuff.
I wish I didn't need full JS support and web rendering stuff on a regular basis, but sadly that's the world we live in.
I heard netsurf can run in a framebuffer, but it doesn't do JS yet.

I used Lynx in DOS long ago, worked great. I had an NE2000 card and found some packet drivers for it on a repository called "SimtelNet", that I think was hosted on ftp.cdrom.com back then. Had a suite of tcp/ip tools for DOS, including arp, ping, tracert, telnet, ftp, and so on. Plus other various programs like Pine for meil and news.
For 8-bit computers, there's Contiki. Here it is running on an Apple IIGS: youtube.com

It's the Emacs Web Wowser you fucking retarded, wannabe Emacs user. You have no clue how to use Emacs, and it shows, you troglodyte Arch babby poseur.
