Richard Stallman Web Browsing Method

I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it.

A screenshot displays a long technical statement about accessing websites through email, using wget-like tools and trying Lynx before a graphical browser. The joke is that this unusually convoluted, privacy-conscious browsing method is characteristic of Richard Stallman and is shared as an exaggerated “Stallman moment” reaction.
