@realcaseyrollins If nothing else, take heart that there are HAMs and hackers who know how to make 2G antennas and, as they say, life uhh… finds a way.

Q: When is somebody going to create a #fediverse platform that's more like Facebook? Everything I see here looks more like Twitter and I really, really dislike Twitter.

Tomorrow we will commemorate ten years of working code. Then we'll be getting back to work. A big shout-out to everybody that was or still is a part of this journey. We didn't always agree on everything and this project has more forks than a salad bar, but we wouldn't be here today without you.

Eight people killed, including a 9-year-old boy, and at least 19 other people wounded in Chicago so far this weekend as gun violence continues to plague the city, police say. apne.ws/FbWDu9p twitter.com/AP/status/12899926 #News #AP #Chicago #Gun #Killed

@sev Do you agree that a low fidelity, long-range signal is necessary to maintain communication capabilities when switching to shorter-range signals like 4G and 5G?

Brent Baker: Desk-pounding anger from @BrianStelter: “We are witnessing creeping authoritarianism in America....You can say it was just a tweet and you can say he was just kidding. It is still creeping authoritarianism, even if the guy is joking....Three more months of this....”

@sev Yet they shut down 3G last year, didn't they? 2G is supposed to be shutting down too.

See, these older bands are superior in terms of coverage. I'm not at all happy that we're moving towards a largely 4G and 5G-only world, we're going to need way more towers to have the same level of coverage. I wish 2G would remain, it's a great fallback for texts and phone calls (but not data lol). In cases of emergency or poor signal, people can still call and text. With 2G and 3G sunsetting, some people will be left with no coverage AT ALL.

5G is cool but its coverage is weak. It'll take forever until everyone can use it.

Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint all still have active 2G networks.
