@thomasfuchs Bridges like this are single points with significant impacts, though. So targeting them for unfair use of data, even if it is public, can be an effective use of personal energy. Repurposing your data in private is not an issue. But repurposing it *en masse* in public view makes it a target for criticism.

@carnage4life For people like me who had to look it up, ATT is Apple's App Tracking Transparency feature, where you can opt out of tracking. Here's a good article on how developers are working to bypass it: https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/08/apple-att-impact-study/

Unfortunately, they aren't the cause. Every evening I get random disconnects on my 5GHz channel. It was making remote play on my #Quest3 unusable. Fortunately I remembered that both the router and the headset can use the new 6GHz channel in Wi-Fi 6, which immediately solved the disconnects.

@gwynnion Here is an illustration of how climate change increases the likelihood of polar vortexes. Many places aren't prepared for the cold weather, and it can play havoc wth fruit trees and winter crops. The warm periods entice growth, followed by a cold snap that kills off buds and shoots.

@tchambers @alwirtes I was mod for a server with about 8000 active users. I had about 3-5 reports a day. I can't imagine the work increase with even Meta Threads coming online. I suspect admins will be forced to defederate fairly quickly just to keep up.

@thomasfuchs @formula1matt Isn't Cat 8 practically fibre? Fibre might be cheaper!
