-## Text-Based Simplicity
-
-I've detailed my views on web-based minimalism and related topics in other 
-posts throughout the years; e.g., JavaScript/CSS bloat slowing down websites 
-that are essentially a text document. However, I have never really expanded 
-beyond talking about the web and describing how I focus on minimizing 
-distractions in other digital environments.
-
-This post is going to set the baseline for how I *try* to live my digital life. 
-It does not necessarily get into my physical life, which is often harder to 
-control and contain all the noise in our modern world.
-
-While there are new things to do every day in our digital world, I find that 
-keeping a core set of values and interests can ground you and keep you mindful 
-of *why* you are participating in the digital world. For example, if - at your 
-core - you have no interest in what strangers think about random topics, it 
-would be unwise to start participating in social media. However, I am someone 
-who has been dragged in by effective advertising to participate in communities 
-that I realize I do not care for.
-
-I won't dive much further into explaining the philosophy of all this, but I will 
-link a few helpful articles that may pique your interest if you're in search of 
-more meaningful experiences:

-### Browsing the Web
-
-I'm going to start off with a hard topic for those who prefer to live in the 
-terminal: web browsing. This task is made hard mostly by websites and web apps 
-that require JavaScript to run. The other difficult part is that if you're using 
-a text-based browser, that means images won't load (hopefully that's obvious).
-
-I am using [Lynx](https://lynx.invisible-island.net), a text-based browser that 
-runs quickly and easily in the terminal. Lynx allows me to browser most websites 
-by simply typing `g` and then typing in the URL I want.
-
-![Lynx](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20220616-terminal-lifestyle/lynx.png)
-
-If you need a search engine while in Lynx, I recommend [DuckDuckGo 
-(Lite)](https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/), which allows you to search the web 
-using their text-only interface.
-
-![DuckDuckGo 
-!Lite](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20220616-terminal-lifestyle/ddg.png)
-
-Eventually, you will run into websites that don't work (or are just too ugly 
-and messy) in a text-only mode, and you'll be forced to switch over to a GUI 
-browser to look at that site. Personally, I don't mind this as it doesn't happen 
-as often as I thought it would.
-
-The only time I need to do this is when I want to browse an image/video-focused 
-webpage or if I need to log in to a site, and it doesn't support a text-only 
-login page.
-For example, I am able to easily log in to [Sourcehut](https://sr.ht) in lynx.
-
-### Chatting with Friends
-
-After web browsing activities, my main form of terminal communication is Matrix. 
-I use the [gomuks](https://docs.mau.fi/gomuks/) client currently.
-
-This was incredibly easy to install on macOS (but I will need to see if it'll 
-be just as easy on Linux when my new laptop arrives):

-### Email
-
-Moving email to the terminal has been the hardest of the tasks for me. Unlike 
-web browsing, where I can simply decide to not look at a website that does not 
-work in the terminal, I cannot simply ignore emails sent to me.
-
-Personally, I am experimenting with [neomutt](https://neomutt.org/) as a 
-potential email client.
-
-However, this requires a **TON** of configuration and tweaking to get right. 
-Even when I was able to set up neomutt, configure my email account, and 
-customize a few personal preferences, a lot of emails still do not display 
-correctly (mostly due to HTML and images).
-
-I won't get into the details of configuring `neomutt`; I mostly followed this 
-blog post: [Email in the Terminal: Configuring 
-Neomutt](https://gideonwolfe.com/posts/workflow/neomutt/intro/).
-
-Finally, I have yet to figure out how to connect my GPG keys to `neomutt`, but 
-that's a problem for another day.
