@comatoast Fair enough. Best of luck! · 3 months ago
Why are people overly concerned with me needing to download large files? If I need to torrent I can just head to the local library. · 3 months ago
@cobradile94 No, they have plans that give you so many hours per month. · 3 months ago
@comatoast Doesn’t dial-up charge per minute, though? · 3 months ago
What about updating your OS of choice? Seems not to be fun with a dial-up connection. Would not for for me as a movie nerd too, for i am not into mainstream movies at all. And i am living in the bavarian outback, internet is kinda my only connection to the rest of the world. · 3 months ago
Also SDF offers a dial-up service might want to check it out:

What does the modern web afford me that requires me to use bandwidth? I use gemini more than anything, really, at this point. · 3 months ago
Can I ask why? · 3 months ago
