The original image might’ve been 3200x1800 but it sure ain’t on imgur, unless I’m missing an obvious ‘view raw/original image’ option...
Uhhh sorry I don’t understand imgur. I think there’s a way.
Oh it seems that the mobile imgur site is totally nerfed. Sorry. Is there a better free image host?

Ah, no worries - I’ll take a look on desktop in a minute. Better free image host? I guess github pages is a less-friendly alternative.
Right-click the image, and choose "View image". Works at least in Firefox.

I should’ve mentioned I’m using a tablet. Although there’s a convoluted method involving long-hold and the Photos app, it still only save the low-res thumbnail.
Maybe try copy&pasting the URL instead of clicking it (so that no Referer is sent)?

Well, I'm not sure if there's a way of doing that on iOS, but I'm on desktop now anyway, so if anyone else just wants a direct link to the full-size image, here it is:

(edit: although, nope, even opening the direct URL to the image reroutes it to the low-res thumbnail version. I just don't think it's viewable on mobile — never mind!)
Note that this is the same URL that the one that was originally posted. :-/

Incredibly readable, thanks for sharing. I like your color scheme, too.
Here's a 3200x1800 screenshot with some code in Emacs.

The kerning is not as tight as in a real proportional font. It's a bit more spacious and regular so that fixed width tabular layouts still look relatively decent.
