Jesus, 10Gbps!? I’m paying $90 for “gigaspeed” AT&T fiber. But, I’m luckier than most, I have AT&T fiber and Metronet as fiber providers, as well as Spectrum and T-Mobile (but yuck to using 5G as my primary source of internet).

I noticed Gatorade has a Pedialite now. I decided to try it and I could tell it was less sweet, maybe more salty.

After watching a YouTube video that detailed the situation and environment he was in (a horribly mismanaged overcrowded correctional facility), I think he did kill himself because he knew he was fucked and was going to live the rest of his life as far removed from the lifestyle he was accustomed to as possible. He had already tried to kill himself previously. The people watching him are among the staff that are over-worked and have to maintain order in an already overcrowded facility… yeah, there will be gaps in observing him.

However, regardless of whether he killed himself or not, the rich are always keeping their best interests first at the expense of others. The real crime is that they’re killing us, just much slower.

I’m in the same damn boat 😅

Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution

Did you miss the part that said “I’ll need a research team and 5 years?” The XKCD character did it! SUCCESS!

Yeah, I agree. I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, but it would be a very steep uphill battle. What we have now works great and we shockingly got the rest of the world to agree on it. The current OSI model provides a lovely blank canvas for all sorts of communication. Can it be improved? What system can’t? But from the days of ARPAnet to now was a long journey and this new Internet would have to start at the beginning and come into being like the Internet we all use today. I’m not interested in using dial-up again or waiting years to get “new” broadband. Too much investment is needed for such little reward.

Also, I feel like the author of this idea needs to brush up in their Internet history because it can’t be called Internet v2 for the reason you said.

Man this warms my heart ;‿;

I hope not. I remember a time in which you needed to know something in order to enjoy the Internet and I kinda hope this place remains less approachable by normies, but attractive to those who love technology. I feel this is like how IRC was in the 90s.

idk, but for Lemmy/kbin/mastodon to be successful, it needs good word-of-mouth advertising. I didn’t end up on reddit because of an ad I saw somewhere.

On his planet, it’s called High-Fructose Infant Raymonds.

It’s absurdist humor.

I’m guessing these are weird stock photos?

Yup, you know they’ll use the good ole MS triple-E tactic: embrace, extend, and extinguish.

TBH, the mobile experience isn’t half bad
