"In fact, after two days, it was clear that this was going to be the worst job I had ever had. I installed Lynx, a text-only web browser that basically looks like a DOS [disk-operating system] window. No images, just monospaced text on an endless black background. My absentminded browsing of the internet now appeared to be the work of a skilled technician, the web browser a terminal into which diligently typed commands signalled my endless productivity."

@grainloom @lupine i have had pretty much this literal experience.
(there was also the time a highschool english teacher kicked me out of class for using pico and lynx in a terminal window to write a research paper, which i somehow feel is the inverse thing.)
@grainloom @lupine @brennen clearly, he has hacking and that's bad.
@HalfTough @grainloom @lupine yeah, i s'pose it looked like hacker stuff instead of looking like microsoft works.
@brennen @grainloom @lupine When was that? The mid-90's?
@drwho @grainloom @lupine i'd say 1998 - 99 or thereabouts?
@grainloom I had an online moderator job once in some isometric online world or another. Midnight-8am. Nobody was ever on so I'd hide my avatar in a corner, set them running into it with a shoe on the keyboard, and go to bed.
That job got me through uni :-D
