The phone company tried to install a solution using a antenna and the mobile phone masts, but they couldn't get a strong enough signal. So, I'll be on here more sporadically for a while i think, depending on how well the phone wifi solution works.
The good news is, WO is pretty low bandwidth, not least because Theymos has all-but abandoned the site and we're stuck in 2011. Sorry, just checked the bottom of the page. That's 2009. And now the bad news: if my memory serves me well I had a high-speed fiber at my place in 2009 already. So Arrie is stuck in at least 2000 with his tech. Well, I like old tech, I still have a VCR.

My internet will be cut tomorrow. The phone company is from January first no longer using the copper wires (land line) and I have land line ADSL internet. I have ordered fiber but it may take 6 to 12 months before they can get their asses out here and dig a cable to my house, on the other hand I only had to pay 9900 SEK for it. My neighbors who got cable when it was first installed some years ago in the area had to pay 32000 sek. So I will be mostly using my laptop and free wifi spots in town to go online. I will try to use my phone as a wifi hot spot, but I don't know how well that will work. The phone company tried to install a solution using a antenna and the mobile phone masts, but they couldn't get a strong enough signal.

I would think things in Sweden would be better than that... Keeping you offline for up to a year is unacceptable in this day and age... Incidentally, Malmö is (IIRC) the model name of my bed, bought in IKEA! Also, yesterday I started watching a Swedish horror movie called Knackningar (2021). Haven't finished watching it. Will do tonight (from the beginning, for a proper watch). What a messy post I've made, jumping from topic to topic like a bee... Sorry...

Well I have known about it for a while, if I had ordered fiber earlier I wouldn't have had to wait so long. We have had fiber here for quite some time, it's just stubborn me that decided that ADSL is good enough for me, and it was. And I didn't fancy paying 32000 sek when I already had ADSL that was working just fine. Didn't know about knackningar, sounds good, will try to download it before my internet is cut of.

Surprising for such an advanced country. In case of a major malfunction that may be fixed in 2-3 days, I get mobile internet (separate box - unlimited traffic) until the repair is done, in a country that lags behind Sweden by at least 25+ years. In addition, for all who have problems with wires, there are alternatives in the form of mobile internet which is very fast (4G or 5G) and very affordable.
@Arriemoller, what about Tele2 which is a Swedish company and offer mobile internet - https://www.tele2.se/

RIP Twitter. I could be wrong here, but it's my understanding is that Jack was the only person standing in the way of Twitter becoming more of an aggressively ad-riddled, invasive data collecting, free-speech censored, Facebook-like toxic cesspool. Sounds like he no longer wanted to play along with the greedy wealthy investors. It’s also unknown why Dorsey, 45, would take a step back. But if he steps down, the next CEO will have to meet Twitter’s aggressive internal goals. The company said earlier this year it aims to have 315 million monetizable daily active users by the end of 2023 and to at least double its annual revenue in that year.

The company said earlier this year it aims to have 315 million monetizable daily active users by the end of 2023 and to at least double its annual revenue in that year. That's interesting Torque. I have been so puzzled by Jack because the whole corporate "censorship" aspect we have seen over the last few years has been very prominent on Twitter where an entire set of people have been ERASED there including a sitting (and now past) US president. Where one particular worldview is exalted, and another declared to be "Nazi" or "fascist" or "white supremacist" And shut down. At this point in the story the two faced liberal, and the HONEST libertarian will point out that Twitter is a private company and should be allowed to curate their content how they choose including banning whomever they want for any reason they want. I agree with this point of view. And it saddens me that so many people that identify with the sort of politics I espouse are shouting "censorship" at the top of their lungs, which is why I put it in quotes, and why I point out that it is the HONEST libertarians who defend Twitter's right to do this and it saddens me there are so few. That does not mean it is not an abominable practice. And that is where I get confused about Jack. His push towards the "blue sky" project. His love of decentralized systems, including Bitcoin, and his claim to want to support wild unfettered free speech seem to contradict with the position he takes when he awkwardly testifies in front of congress. That's where I get confused. Which is he? Another problem is he is building ANOTHER Twitter like ediface with Square/Cashapp. A centralized bank that is all tangled up in Bitcoin and is destined to censor transactions eventually, UNLESS they build it in a way that learned the lessons they missed when building twitter. Which side is he on? I don't know.

They were "censored" as soon as they stopped making oodles of money for the company. The twitter/facebook/google TOS is a complete joke, what it should say is "you can do anything you want as long as we make lots of money on it". Such is life.
