I think it's an intentional aesthetic choice[0].

Hyperlinks would be convenient, but something about the raw text / ascii art vibe makes me happy everytime I read a blog post from j3s even if it doesn't have the conveniences of the modern web.

Links are a convenience of the ancient web.
Haha, ok that's fair enough! I guess what I meant was something like "conveniences that are on most other contemporary websites"
Hyperlinks are not modern web though.
They in fact predate the modern or even ancient WWW.
What?
