A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

$60 is the standard price for the highest tier unlimited data plans.
Nevermind that with the ubiquity of WiFi unlimited data isn't really necessary for most people; Most people still just assume they need that.

But seriously, who needs unlimited? I have 30GB, rarely ever use more than 5GB tops. With watching jellyfin.

I may be a cheapskate, but 60 bucks for some unlimited data sounds bizzare. For tiktok-junkies maybe who spend 20h a day scrolling vids?

There are some jobs where it's important. But then it's something the company will buy. Individuals almost never need it.

Indeed. If needed then you probably don't need to pay for it.

I agree. I'm on Mint getting like 2GB a month and never reach that because I barely use this stupid rectangle off WiFi.

Cachyos and opensuse here, but at least those are at home only so I don't need mobile. The updates alone would probably fill some more gig otherwise. But still far from 30.
