 @darius I kind of treat being in a 2G network as being out of service in terms of Internet 😆 @es5nhc I linked people to https://wiby.me the other day, basically a search engine for people on 2G @darius Very cool. Switched the phone to 2G to try and indeed... I think it took more time to send the search query than to get the answer back. When the page opened, it was there in an instant. @es5nhc and specifically all the sites it returns to you are 100% html+css, possibly a little JS here and there but almost entirely no JS @darius @slightlyoff "Personal T1 line?" I remember when I wanted one of those. What a comedown that would be now... @darius "do we really need the 2MB of tracking js on every pageload?" would probably be the better suited headline for todays standard of a website... ^^'  @darius @slightlyoff when we first released solar.lowtechmagazine.com we got a surprising amount of fan mail from people who said it was one of 5 sites that was usable to them. That was 2018. Mostly from rural US and from Germany! |
@darius Replace "modem" with 2G, and you'll reach quite much the present day.
