40 lines here. Using Boost For Lemmy on Android phone. Nicely intentioned but it is somewhat intrusive in its layout.

Not a surprise. The quality has dropped, they've priced themselves out of the market so that ordinary cafes (diners) are cheaper.

I've heard these grandiose announcements over the last 15 years where it is already known that rural areas have rubbish broadband. Plans were announced, huge amounts of money were given to telcos , usually BT, and nothing happens in the rural areas but towns and cities get super fast fibre.

The telcos do not want to upgrade Comms infrastructure in rural areas as they are invariably sparsely populated so the profits don't exist. But they're happy to take the tax-payers money though.

With the onset of mobile phones, wired/fibre solutions become increasingly expensive and less likely in such areas and we're still waiting for a decent signal.

And so it goes on.

IOC officials seem to be a special breed of stupidity and naivety.

This shouldn't come as any surprise as many people can't afford basic day to day living costs because of low wages and reduced employee security.

I took things into my own hands. Once my 12 months SIM only contract was up almost two years ago I moved over to a rolling 30-day. I will not go back to the big players on anything more than 30 days. Fuck the greedy bastards.

Mmm earlier it said £94, the extracted body text said "X and X" and now it's £19.

Judging by the way wages have dropped since 2008, at latest, it feels as if we're heading for a new era of feudalism.

Definitely needs a TL;DR.

Is this the same chain of Burek King in New Jersey?

 

This started a few weeks ago and it went quiet. This new insight is truly disturbing as it has attracted the attention of the chairman of the David Fuller inquiry. There is no confirmation of a link but there are a lot of questions as to why bodies have been withheld for months on end after alledged funerals taken place.
