Not related to Arch, but behold Richard Stallmann describing how he uses the internet: https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html (see section “How I use the internet” and the other section below that with the same title).
In fact, what I use is Maté (an English way of writing the Spanish word Mate).
As a Spanish speaker I’d just like to say
A: wtf is this even supposed to mean?
B: mate and maté are two entirely different words.
C: The mate desktop environment is named after hierba mate, no é.
I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it.
Fuck. What the hell.
I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that plus Tor plus LibreJS is enough to prevent my browsing from being associated with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods.
Ironically I think this makes his the most unique fingerprint in the whole internet.
As an arch user, I’m confused… Doesn’t everyone use curl as their browser?
I recently switched to netcat, this lets me control the TCP stream more directly.
also cuter

Unironically Lynx and Elinks.
Let me introduce you to Browsh
As an Arch user, why do people care what the default packages are?
