Southern hemisphere? Because UK is kinda both west and east

Yup! NZ. So I really don't know shit but have only caught into it from then arresting protesters supporting Palestine

Damn I'm jealous. To be so far away from most of the tension in the world. Not jealous of your internet speeds though, unless it's changed in the last decade or so?

[โ€“] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its definitely improved but like most things, we're only a decade behind in our right-wing sweep.

All going to shit over here, too, I'm afraid

Ah damn. I do hate how it happens in waves and all over the "western" world (using that term very loosely here).

Most of us have fibre optic broadband now, my connection is gigabit down, 400 up. I could have an 8 gigabit connection if I wanted. And I live rural.

Close to 90% of the population has it.

Hah, my own country's not doing nearly as well. Took me years to finally get fiber and people properly rural will never get it. Digital leadership of Europe my ass.

Glad to see things are getting better here. Hope life's good in general.
