More than 500 MB consumed in less than 2 full days without having downloaded any programs and having the neighbors' WiFi to use part of the time.
There's got to be a better way to have Internet--it sure would be nice if sites would be more data conscious instead of feeding us more & more useless, distracting crap that eats our data allowance!

@Euphoria "The Website Obesity Crisis" - a great and very entertaining read (via Birdsite): http://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm

The author is Maciej Cegłowski, creator of Pinboard. I wish he was here on Mastodon, but I haven't seen him yet.

Thank you very much, @stefanieschulte . I'm about to read it and will likely share it widely.
It's all logical to me, the consequences of actions, but too many people fail to make the connection.

LOL @stefanieschulte Since I posted about webpages taking too much data allowance and also people gaining weight (or hanging onto excess weight) by forgetting to eat while engaged in their computer experience, I somehow expected this to be about the latter issue and not the former.

@Euphoria Lol, what a funny coincidence!

Anyway, that has happened to me, too. I got a reply from someone, assumed it was pertaining to a certain post, and thought "that is a weird take on the topic, but yeah" ... until I realized that they were replying to an entirely different post. :rofl:

@stefanieschulte I guess it goes to show that everything's (and everyone's) related.
