There are a few towns that became their own internet providers b/c the big guys wouldn't bring them either any or adequate service and they realized they could do it themselves more cheaply. They had to fight anti-socialism propaganda and of course lobbying and disinformation campaigns from the big providers, despite the fact that they had no intention of ever going there.

I just looked in to it b/c my browser isn't showing it either. It turns out the alt text is just for when the image doesn't load or screen readers. The title text is supposed to be for tooltips, or what you'd get if you hover over the image.

there is one issue that I've found - my work blocks lemmy.zip, so I'm using the piefed account I made to test it.

My guess is that it ends in ".zip" and is getting blocked, b/c the rest of lemmy they aren't bothering with.

I actually described how dutch sounded to me to some dutch friends. I said something like, "Dutch sounds like if a German got drunk, tried learning English, and then started choking."

They told me that wasn't far off 😂
