Herro herro. I am currently uploading my Birthday stream. It says it will be up in 3 hours.

Running #GenerativeAI like #StableDiffusion with #DiffusionBee on my local machine reminds me of the days downloading #pr0n at 9600 bps with a dial-up modem. While the images would slowly load, I could get an idea if there was nudity. Unlike #text2image, where the entire process has to finish to see if it's [disfigured] of has [bad hands]. A nostalgic reminder of the days when we had to exercise patience in the face of slow internet speeds. #Nostalgia #DialUpDays #SlowInternet #AIArt

@szczezuja @bacardi55 I think there have been some nice community, federated and decentralised approaches emerging with #GeminiProtocol

Some cynicism may have kicked in from outsiders but the principles underpinning the protocol are there and there remain creative developments and articulate writings there.

So its all good, #SlowInternet rules - the clusterfuck from mainstream internet isnt abating, there will be alternative approaches waiting for all refugees.

I'm a massive fan of what I call #slowinternet. I'm not going to sit and write a manifesto, but just want to make a note of these: I tend to not use services with endless scroll (if I hit an 'end', I simply navigate away) and follow fire-hose content sources (news agencies, etc). This approach makes my internet very 'zen' across the platforms that I use. Recommended.

@Aranjedeath I almost always browse with uBlock set to halt loading of any media larger than 1024KB and it's amazing (in a bad way) how much crap is bigger than a MB when it has *absolutely no reason* to be. Avatars, icons, mostly-transparent header images, etc. All sorts of junk. It's a disease.

And in the wild world of mobile apps, you typically don't even have that much control over what's being pulled down and why.

Maybe we could start some sort of Razzies-style anti-award for the worst, most flagrant misuse of users' bandwidth? Start naming and shaming sites, apps, and developers for their terrible behavior. Maybe staying off the Shit List would be a little bit of a motivator to scale those images, reconsider that font, think hard about that "cool" JS library, test that app on a 56kb simulator, etc.

un sueño siendo posible: dejar de usar el celular y tooodo lo que acarrea (datos) que ya ni sé qué más quieren saber las empresas. :blobraccoon:
otro sueño menos realizable: que mis amigxs lo puedan hacer también y que lo crean posible!

It seems like the people responding to this poll (so far) skew towards those who experienced the Internet in the 1990s and earlier.

Which might suggest there are a lot of people on the #Fediverse that not only remember the #oldInternet , but might want to support, bring back, and re-create & restore the best parts of the "old Internet".

Nothing like dial up internet speeds. Rip internet. I put it's in windows 11 limit data mode on Wi-Fi. Also I really like Windows 11. Runs pretty well on Intel CPU. #intel #windows #windows11 #dialup #internet #slowinternet

@ruchowdh @KLdivergence welcome, it is great to see you here! 😊

Fediverse can feel a bit disconcerting at first, but you are not alone! Timeline is just reverse chron (no Al… yet 😜). Depending on the client you might see only or mostly users from your instance, so tailoring your network might take a bit.

The pace is a bit different too, no wonder why many slow Internet fans can be found around here (great #slowinternet fan here, ask me about Gemini and Gopher if you are interested 🙃)

THE INTERNET HAS TO BE BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Actually reminds me of something I totally forgot. Back when I was young and using dial-up internet I had a browser extension that reduced image quality to make pages load quicker. Everything looked awful (like 1% quality jpg) and I would right-click the images I wanted to see and load them in higher quality selectively #SlowInternet
