Software engineers should be required to regularly test their app on a network connection throttled to dialup speeds.

lol. 90% of the world's apps would cease to work. Great idea!


Yes


This is an interesting test, yes! In time, I’m facing some difficulties because we’re at the end of the month and my connectivity is reduced; and some things seem not to be working so well...


tc netem in Linux can be useful for this sort of testing to simulate the sort of latency, packet loss and corruption that may be seen on unreliable mobile networks.


100%

Some apps stop working even with single bar 5G.


Nah


Yes! 🫡

Check your bandwidth privilege


Just checked,  I am privileged but it depends on the app and it's target. Meanwhile nostr apps require almost an unlimited data plan that is privilege.


Required by who?


Their employer. This would increase the UX of many apps.


that would be an amazing idea, I've been talking about this very issue for years!


Yes. Please. Especially for us who live near Antarctica and are far  from all freaking "global" CDN instances

Maybe the reason why i'm a local-first maxi

On a first gen intel atom netbook instead of their usual dev machine too.


Even Nowhere is somewhere

I wonder if any clients have implemented: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/blob/master/docs/negentropy.md


Agreed
