Yes, I know. I was just talking about the cost of the only other option but starlink.

I think we've been agreeing all along, and I blame the 'but' in this.

I agree with all that, but some of these places are so spread out that it's just much of a goer without satellites.

Got me confused, innit.

This argument is a bit like objecting to mobile phones because landlines exist.

So, just woke up from a 28 hour work day.

Still feel like poop, but it turnes out I'm a giant pussy. That's nothing next to the woman sat behind me who'd been up for well over 40 hours straight before we sent (almost forced) her back to the hotel.

Still. Upgrade in. :)

Sounds like a terrible system if you need that many people to upgrade it for that long, hope they pay you well at least

also as a lefty nordic people lead in tech I am horrified at idea of anyone having to work like that, would someone have died if you worked normal hours?

I got superfast internet in a wooden and straw shack in the middle of some rice fields with no other buildings in sight, whilst eating frogs stuffed with lemongrass that eight year olds had caught and roasted over a fire in Vietnam.

Don't buy for one second that Africa doesn't have internet because it's difficult or expensive - it's because we don't give a fuck about Africa.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but Africa is a continent that's just slightly bigger than Vietnam.

The difference here imo is that Vietnam is very tourist focussed, and they know that good internet infrastructure is important to this. I remember getting great internet up in the mountains in Sapa.

Nah. The government recognises the connection between poverty and poor infrastructure and classifies internet as a public service, like water.

Forward planning is what it is. No tourist dollar justifies great wifi in the remotest of rural locations on the least trodden paths.

It's not about cost. It's not about remoteness. It's a political choice.

Meta warns it may shut down Facebook and Instagram in Europe

The drama continues for Mark Zuckerberg whose company last week reported it lost daily active users for the first time in its history.

Cool. Don't let your arse hit the door on the way out.

NB. All their reasons for this threat are bullshit anyway; Microsoft has already figured out a methodology for Shrems compliance, Facebook just don't want European regulators looking over their shoulder, for very obvious reasons.

Nottingham school criticised after pupils slam PM in lesson

A school is criticised after pupils wrote a letter that called for Boris Johnson to resign.
www.bbc.co.uk

This is interesting reporting.

So it starts off saying that they were told to write a letter ripping into our glorious leader.

But then later in the article it says that they watched a Newsround episode and then were told to write a letter (doesn't specify what to say.)

So which is it?

Fuck @Tom. I've had 16 hours sleep since Saturday. I'm only awake because my brain is rebelling at the constant pounding of work and lack of life.

Throw me a bone. What time?

Wife has a kid in her class, everyone thinks they are American, they have an American accent. Nope, native English, they learned to speak via TV/Youtube.

It took me a few years to develop a purpose Yorkshire accent because when I was tiny I loved TV and they used to have BBC English accents. I learned to speak very posh.

Most middle class Irish kids in Dublin now have a kind of "transatlantic" accent; my kids don't sound Irish at all.

I've just found out it was Oliver Reed's birthday today - which is funny as today I visited the bar in Valetta, Malta, where he died after challenging a bunch of sailors to a drinking competition.

This was his last round:

We're hoping to go back on Wednesday (as we fly out Thursday) and order that round to drink between us :)
