So, I recently started working a wonderfully mindless office job for the first time in my whole 40 years of existence and it just so happens that my office is in a near total deadzone for mobile phone connection and I will never sign in my personal phone to the work wifi for obvious reasons, and also I tend to hit my data cap now within 5 days of it renewing since the job has me mostly just sitting browsing hexbear till I get a phone call.

diethex has been a fucking godsend because the horrible data cap that kicks in after I used my measly 2gb of data still is just enough to keep looking at all your shitposts if I wheel my chair over to a very specific spot in the middle of the office between our cubicles where we all huddle to try to get just one bar of reception.

heart-sickle Aww thanks! Kinda funny that it's like my most actually meaningful programming project. I should really get around to making spoilers work properly...

You get capped

after 2 GB of data? How much does your phone plan cost per month?

Really? There are budget carriers these days that have unlimited talk+text+data for $25 a month. I found a couple on whistleout.com which compares a bunch of plans, and they're the same service as I had before only for half the price, and less hotspot I guess.

TVs and data are the only 2 things that have been consistently getting cheaper since the turn of the century.
