Don’t use Firefox, use Lynx.

Better yet, boycott http etc entirely.

Gopher or die.

    Anyways as my chickens have already been fed and it’s too early in the year for planting tomatoes, why not sit at my machine that eats whole forests so that I can look at cats and argue with people far away. But in color please, and with moving stuff and special effects! Trying to read slrpnk on a Raspberry Pi seems a little hardcore.
