hollywood VS tuir

I'm looking for dumb, useless and fun cli tools like cowsay or Hollywood

One example software project is hollywood. A tiny tool which turns your terminal into a Hollywood style real time hacking scene:

Probably hollywood

https://github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood for anyone wondering

But the screen you're looking at is just the hollywood program, which just runs a bunch of programs with heavy output to simulate the ridiculous cliches of what hacking looks like in movies.

For those that need it - there are several scripts like Hollywood [ https://github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood ] that just lays on top in your terminal pushing out nonsense and others that are more realistic that does the same. I mean Hollywood doesn't look the least bit real so might only work if your boss is thick

Which one? There's cortex and cReddit and reddio and rttt and rtv and tuir.

Considering that I only access reddit either occasionally from Relay on my phone or primarily modified version of the terminal TUI tuir (They killed the API token for TUIR, but you can still use it if you setup your own API key.) which I'm using now to write this comment from, it would likely reduce my Reddit usage by >90%. I usually have tuir nested in a tmux session, which I would likely change to a hackernews reader like hackernews-TUI.

this is the main repo? https://gitlab.com/ajak/tuir

Indeed, a fork, tuir, was made shortly after rtv stopped development.

For example, there's a couple reddit clients, YouTube viewers, Spotify clients and many many more.

I do most of my redditting with Tuir, a terminal UI for reddit. I integrated it with Vim, w3m, and Firefox.

I absolutely still enjoy it after >35 years in IT. The CLI is pure, and does only what you ask it to. It isn't riddled with ads. While you can get things like Reddit or even Youtube from the CLI, they just aren't as distracting in that format and you end up getting more done.

that said if you want a way of extracting the image urls, I have written a python script that does that and its on the gitlab issue I open for your exact question

I used rtv for Solène's "Old Computer Challenge" and it was passable. The project has gone fallow, supplanted by tuir, so that's where I'd turn today.
