New broadband kit arrived and was easy to set up. The internet in general, especially for the easy access we have to information that was not the case for all of human history until very recently. Communication is pretty good too.
I really need to get back into posting on my blog regularly. I have to do my part to not let Meta and Google dominate most of the internet.

Starting with Hubzilla 10.4, only the conversation starter and its three most recent first-level comments will be loaded initially. Older comments can be revealed on demand by clicking the "- - -" button located beneath the conversation starter. If a comment has its own replies, an icon displaying the number of sub-comments will appear. Clicking this icon will load and display the second-level comments directly beneath the relevant first-level comment.
This change is being introduced to address the challenges posed by the growing size of the network and increasingly lengthy conversations. Loading threads with hundreds of comments and replies is no longer scalable, so this new approach will ensure better performance and a smoother user experience.

Upcoming UI changes in Hubzilla 10.4
The way conversations are displayed in Hubzilla will undergo a significant transformation with the release of version 10.4. Previously, conversations were presented in a flat format, meaning the latest comment always appeared at the end of the thread, and the entire set of replies was loaded at once.Conversation Starter

Here’s thought…
We know the dark web exists, in parallel with the rest of the Internet, and we know the mainstream Internet is becoming increasingly enshittified by tech bros’ greed and AI. Would it be possible to create a ‘light web’ that excludes the bad stuff? What would it look like?
