  • Sheesh I thought this was uplifting news until I thought about this perspective. I hope there is some sort of language in these grants that will hold ISPs at least a little bit accountable to build out actual networks.

    I’m lucky to live in a town that has municipal broadband, so I pay a reasonable rate for gigabit fiber and it’s owned by my town so there’s less of a profit motive and no need to appease shareholders by cutting corners or using unfair pricing. I wonder if some of the funds from this program coukd be used by more towns to set up their own ISPs like that.





  • I put the Lemmy web app shortcut where my Rif app used to be on my phone, so my muscle memory from always opening up rif has me going to lemmy instead. I’ve barely been looking at reddit at all and really enjoying seeing these lemmy communities grow. Once rif is gone I don’t plan to use reddit at all (aside from the occasional specific Google search for “specific question reddit”) and I don’t think I’ll miss it.
