Even though Unix existed before DOS and the command line was far more important to Unix users than Windows users, text user interfaces (TUI) never really took off among #Unix or #Linux text editors.
You could join a #tilde, a public unix server where you login via ssh and get your own web directory, I use https://tilde.cafe and whatever you put in ~/public is a available to everyone.
Or just good old WordPress or even Blogger is enough
Planning on setting up a #tilde server in the next month or two. I need your suggestions for software to install on it.
I want the WEIRD stuff. I am not talking about your standard "install all the shells you can get your hands on" kind of deal. I want strange, funky console applications that barely anyone has laid eyes on in 20 years. Whatcha got?
God, 28 years of muscle memory, still there. Quoting and replying to some mail on a tilde in alpine, I needed to remove some quoted lines, and immediately ^K'd, without even thinking once.
@teacherbuknoy I have a #hypothesis that back then there was no distinction between #ng and #nang in #Tagalog. Ng was just an #abbreviation of nang to save on ink and space on precious paper. I came up with this idea from noticing that old texts put a #tilde on the ng similar to how old #Spanish texts put a tilde on q to mean que. There were also tildes on mga but sometimes they spelled mga as manga without the tilde. #history#Philippines#Filipino#linguistics
