Never - I’d rather go back to dial up - than fund a wannabe trillionaire who’s happy to sit on 500+ billion dollars while people go hungry… It’s obscene… Sorry…
Not only that - the Starlink satellites are obscuring astronomer’s observations…
Capitalism stinks - what are the alternatives? Sure the alternatives were done to death by the likes of Stalin…
But take a look at small “s” democratic socialism as practised in much of Scandinavia (which Finland is considered a part of and which gave us the Linux kernel - for free)…
Chesterton thought the alternative was what he called ’ distributism’ … everyone owns a part of the means of production.
I guess the modern equivalent would be ‘small business’ but with everyone participating.
But for that dont you need a lot of pôles to broadcast the signal and fibre to transfer to them ? With a country like Australie where there are such large parts where no one lives its a big distributions problem.
Where I lived before there was a section where it was considered not worth the investment to get fibre to the village so they installed another form ”wimax” (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and that was ok for some time but now replaced by fibre as costs have reduced.
Late to the conversation, but I also like to reference some of the postings here on the forum. I use the bookmark feature here on ‘It’s Foss’ to tag articles I wish to reference at a later date.
I will also sometimes copy / paste code and/or information from the forum to be saved on my personal PC.
I really do not know why anyone would be offended if we use the information for our own personal use.
Ah, now I found it. Thank you very much for explaining the exact procedure.
Well, this has totally escaped my attention.

Hi Rosika,
Hey, it looks like I accidentally edited Howard’s reply. … I can do that as a moderator.
and now, you have replied to Howard , instead of to me.
@easyt50… Howard, I have to apologise I accidentally edited your reply .
I will edit it again and mark the sentence I added. I hope I did not remove anything.?
Sorry for the confusion and the intrusion.
I can not imagine how I made that mistake… changing someone’s reply is not something I would want to do.
Did you get a notification that I had edited your post?
I wonder why I did not recognize her answer. Thanks for the explanation.
