     The fact that I can't even read email without downloading a whole fucking application to run in my browser... So I can read email ...

     @JessTheUnstill @sleepybisexual @username This is fun just going lower and lower, but I think there is a meaningful lower cutoff to choose for testing delivery of something where the actual content is textual: the rate that could deliver nothing but the actual text in an acceptable amount of time.

     Yeah, even a 56k modem only moves like 500kb/minute. So if you need ANY sort of graphics, they're going to need to be as small and compressed as hell.

     @JessTheUnstill @sleepybisexual @username I'm old enough to remember when ~500k was a full quality digital camera capture and ~100-200k was fine for a reduced version. There is no reason for *inline* illustrations in articles to be any larger than this. You can click to get the full-res if you want. But now it's not even the images that are the bulk. It's 10MB of garbage compiled and minified output of javascript frameworks.
