@stavvers@masto.ai I dealt with dialup on 9/11, 25 or so miles from the Pentagon, with one extended family member working in downtown Manhattan and another piloting a commuter plane in the Northeast—and completely out of touch for a couple days (parked in Montreal, I think). Phone lines were a bad joke, and texting wasn’t any better than phones, so email, such as it was, was it. Not a lot of sympathy for folks complaining that their cat pictures take more than 5 seconds to load…
