a far better conversation to have over tea or a beer in person sometime, but lemme just tell ya, when you live this close to silicon valley, you start to see the problems with the libertarian capitalist model when actually put into action REAL quick. but again, a shit conversation to have on the internet, so i'll just leave it at that.
even fuckin south korea has had 8x faster / significantly cheaper internet than we have had for ages. american infrastructure is an embarrassment.
anyway, believe you me me, this beaver is one bouncy motherfucker. when he bounces, volcanos erupt, earthquakes happen, everyone becomes pregnant and can't stop farting. it's madness! sexy, 5g madness.
also this whole experience has me thinking, i remember when stuff on the internet just loaded this quickly anyway despite having otherwise slower connection speeds, back before google et al popularized the "let's needlessly the bloat the backend of every website to death and back for reasons and also because we need to own as much of peoples' lives through data harvesting as possible!"
so, while i'm certainly glad to have 5g for things like downloads / uploads / etc... the fact that the much of the internet has become so much slower to load on average over the past decade or so is really just down to a bunch of shitty design choices and shitty advertising models.
oh well. still have SK! |
