Get Firefox dotcom.
Download, install, & run.
Menu -> Add-ons and themes -> Extensions -> Find more add-ons: "ublock origin" -> uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill -> Add to Firefox
Why?
Because now that Chrome has dethroned Internet Explorer, one dark lord has been replaced by another:

Is Firefox the best Web browser? No, far from it! But it's the *least* bad choice of browser that works with the modern excuses for websites you use.

@mjdxp I miss the days when Apple leaned into the unixness of their computers.
by the way if you are in the #uk and you need your #retro #computer or #video #game #console repaired i am a highly skilled technician that cannot be legaly employed in the uk so send me a #paypal donation of a #symbolic ammount and ship your computer to the southwest devon and i will repair it for you i have clients who can vouch for me thank you. i have an oscilloscope and everything, which is more than some thousand-follower retro tech youtubers can say. 
anyway i have been logically homeless and countryless for over two years now and i would really like to be not that thank you for donating to my fundraiser i know you have https://www.gofundme.com/f/get-taylor-and-millie-together
the cool thing about applying for a visa in the uk is that it costs upwards of two thousand pounds british for the british government to tell you that you cannot
it's really cool how the usa famously for being vehemently violent against immigrants have a green card system which lets you just marry into citizenship whereas in the uk to marry into not citizenship but only a visa to allow you to work at all in the uk you have to have eighteen thousand pound per year salary and you can only fill that eighteen thousand pound per year with british-recognized salary which means working in the uk which you cannot do without a visa and to get a visa you need to-

Okay, story time. I was asked for the tale of my laser eye injury, so here you go. I'm fine. Customers were fine. No children were harmed. The only victims were me and Bob's career. https://www.funraniumlabs.com/2024/07/how-i-got-my-laser-eye-injury/

theres got to be a secret linux that i've never heard of, which costs $99, comes on two DVD-ROMs, has a team of hundreds of developers who have created a polished and professional distribution with good supported software and hardware, and has millions of happy users who don't ever experience anything even remotely like "xrandr command no longer working and your screens are in the wrong place after an update" or "sound not working after an update" or "updates not working after an update"
at the resolution i want these posters the way tou downscale them makes a massive difference

every new and successively more inane javascript framework that came out in the last 15 years was another salvo for google's embrace-extend strategy to "make the web so Fucked Up that the task of creating a browser with less than 30 million lines of code becomes impossible", and you all fell for it! maybe like 9 web developers pushed back against the 25,000 monthly blog posts extolling the virtues of yet another new way to do something on a computer which they had already solved at xerox in 1977
also probably gonna play with the color grading
i'm not crazy about the downscaling algo so i'm gonna play with it. i made it full res obv but it's narsty because it was meant to be downscaled
dicked around in photoshop for about an hour and made a little movie poster
https://piston-meta.mojang.com/ is down so nobody can play minecraft at the moment 👍
