  </p>
  <p><b>The CLI Life: a list of resources to completely live inside your terminal/teletype, if you're crazy enough to do that. But fortunately, you're in good hands.</b></p>
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/130899/how-can-i-configure-alpine-to-read-my-gmail-in-ubuntu"><b>alpine</b></a>: a mail client. Requires a bit of setup to get started; a guide is <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/130899/how-can-i-configure-alpine-to-read-my-gmail-in-ubuntu">here</a>.</li>
  <li><b>cmus</b>: a music player. Use tab to switch between artist and song view. Enter starts a song playing; C is pause/play for the currently playing song.</li>
  <li><a href="http://byobu.org/"><b>byobu</b></a>: a screen manager. Useful for splitting your screen in halves/fourths/whatever if you want to run multiple programs at the same time. The <a href="https://byobu.org">keybinds</a> are kinda confusing at first, though.</li>
  <li><b>finch</b>: a chat program with a wide range of plugins. I know that there's purple-discord (ew) and purple-matrix (yee) in the default Ubuntu repository, but you can compile more if you need. purple-matrix doesn't work with the default matrix.org homeserver for some reason, though, so you'll probably need to use a different one like <a href="https://disroot.org">disroot.org</a> or <a href="https://banter.city">banter.city</a>.</li>
  <li><b>nano</b>: a sane text editor. Uses normal keybinds like Ctrl+S for saving instead of Vim's mess. Doesn't enable line wrap by default, though, so you'll have to pass the -$ (yes, that's a dollar sign) flag to enable it like so: <code>nano -$ ./killme.md</code></li>
  <li><b>lynx</b>: a sane browser. Uses weird keybinds, but they're all listed on the bottom of the screen, so it's all <a href="http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/146/903/a7c.jpg">cool and good</a>.</li>
  <li><b>mc</b>: Midnight Commander, not Minecraft, you <del>normie</del> weird, weird person. A nice file manager.</li>
  <li><b>tree</b>: <b>ls</b>, but better. Lists all the files/folders in a directory. Might crash your console if you try to run it on the filesystem root, since it'll try to display <i>every single file</i> on your computer.</li>
  <li><b>newsboat</b>: an RSS feed reader. Requires that you put all the URLS of the feeds you want to subscribe to in ~/.newsboat/urls first before you run it.</li>
<li><a href="https://lilotux.net/~mikael/pub/madonctl"><b>madonctl</b></a>: an interface for interacting with the fediverse. Much harder to use than <a href="https://github.com/ihabunek/toot"><b>toot</b></a>, especially since you keep having to manually specify the config file for the account you want to use, but it has much more features than toot.</li>
  </ul>
