Finally, #digital #DeGrowth proposal has hit the mainstream: “rationing Internet” (time/data) https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/03/21/rationing-internet-to-cut-screen-time-call-to-limit-use-to-3gb-a-week-causes-uproar-in-fra Of course, it’s unpopular, & it’s for the wrong reasons, & it doesn’t address inequalities… but it’s an interesting suggestion that can be tweaked: now that we can talk about it ;)

"However, an understanding of class struggle makes it clear that so long as the owning class wants to have music, they must allow musicians to make a living."
Except now in 2024, [in as much as the owners lower their standards for what is music] they can have an AI spin up a 'new' tune.

Never, ever, ever say Never. Ever.
Also a good #RichUnclePennybags story, @dk ?
It would appear that the platform was launched with ~400k, but after about 2 years they burned through 11 million.
@greg @Lats Starlink cannot provide internet to many people - it can't handle the bandwidth. What it is trying to do is to sell lower latency than other satellite internet services at a steep premium, and even then it does not make money.
And satellite internet is _ not _ generally more efficient than running out fiber and putting up cell towers. For example: The Hoh Tribe got a lot of publicity as early users of Starlink. But it is now switching to community-owned fiber and local wireless.

I found 11.130 posts on the Fediverse (known to chaos.social or mastodon.social), 2.620 posts on X/Twitter and 1.069 on ATProto/Bluesky. Published between 2023-12-23 and 2023-12-31. (I haven't figured out how to collect posts on Threads, but I have found 150 there. Maybe there are more, but they don't show up in the search results.)

There was a 2G and 4G network which was made possible by a frequency sponsorship. About 1 000 people used this network and handled 16.8k calls.

say NO to 2024! no more years! #EndDates
• every year is worse than the last
• "being on time" is neuronormative and ableist
• date/time math is inconsistent and annoying
• "number goes up" is unsustainable
• "see you in a bit" is just fine
• nobody ever knows what day it is so let's just stop pretending
• buses don't run on "time", they show up when you light a cigarette
• deadlines were invented by capitalists
• global south forced to winter during summer
• time is an illusion and calendar isn't real - we made it up!
we can do better!
