People capitalising on their kids for social media fame is pretty repugnant. I think you have to be a certain kind of narcissist to turn that into a career for them at that age.

I’m on Starlink as well, and it’s a game changer. Similar wisp situation where I’m at (Wairarapa), but as I deliver a lot of online training I also have a backup 4g connection with some carefully placed antennas. Starlink means the whole family can be online, downloading, watching videos etc while I can still work. 4g can manage when it’s just me.

I’ll give Starlink an 11.248, as it’s pretty bloody amazing and been super reliable for a dish you can take pretty much anywhere in the country (or on a boat as is my future plan)

I find the audiobooks good for long drives when I’ve got time to kill, but can understand you sentiment.

Currently reading 11-22-63. Pretty bloody grim and depressing in places, but good enough to hold my attention.

Finished Locked In by John Scalzi not long prior. Great thought experiment considering it was written long before covid too.

Awesome. Subbed from lemmy.world. I’m a huge tea geek. The tea ceremonies in China are like meditation to me - one of the things I loved while living there. Look forward to seeing what goes on in the community.

I’ve found mlem pretty buggy compared to memmy so far, but hopefully as popularity continues to increase we get more options.

No clogging issues or anything? The after result looks mint.

Do you have a fancy multi colour printer or did you stick all those Mario bits together? Either way great result.

Yeah I’m in this comment and I’m not sure I like it.

But it does take me back to the shift from Digg to Reddit. My Reddit account (16+years) was older than so many users on the site. Nuts to think about it. The vibe changed massively over the years.
