"Chuck Rhode" wrote | Have you tried: | o https://thin.npr.org Actually a text-only version is the option for anyone who doesn't want to accept the spying. Your link redirects to it: text.npr.org. There are two buttons on their "please accept our spying" page. One, requiring script, is to agree to spying. The other, to reject spying, sends one to the blank page with about 8 plain links. Each link then goes to a text-only story page. If you use "links are numbered" in lynx, you can see exactly how many links there are on the page. text.npr.org works great in lynx, but it appears to be limited to listing today's stories only. I haven't tried saving a link to see if older stories are still available, just not listed, or if they expire off. I'm betting "still available, just not listed". But still, NPR's dual option feels like a bit of a tantrum on their part: "Oh, you don't like spying? OK, wiseguy. See how you like this stripped down version!" Apparently they hope people will relent and decide they'd rather allow spying than to be cast into the dreary graphical world of Internet circa 1996. I don't know. I prefer the stripped down version.
