When did I blame the victim? Why even frame it that way?

I grew up poor and around poor people in poor neighborhoods. It’s what the poor do. You wanna argue about improving their lot, sure, but half the mothers in my neighborhood would sell anything they could for a hit of hope or faux luxury. My own mother stole from me.

Eh, I’ve lived in plenty of poor neighborhoods. The lotto tickets basically coat the gas station parking lot like a paper mache.

I know a blind person who uses an LLM for coding assistance. Mind you he doesn’t need to use it, I’ve known him for 20 years and he did just fine without it.

The manufacturers of those off brand batteries are unethical because they almost always use inferior cells and less robust protection circuits, and in many cases have less than advertised capacity.

It is both. And one is necessary for the other.

I mean you’re looking at what it will take to fully control guns in America.

Any second thoughts?

This is terrible advice. They can and will track you down. Only way this might be viable is if everyone turns off their transmissions and the transmitter changes location constantly or is deployed via drone sporadically.

Orbital data enters aren’t happening. A million starlinks aren’t happening. And musk will eventually die. I’m only defending a reasonable size of constellation.

I can’t afford a boat, but I benefit from the goods and food that they transport.

This conversation is a waste of time no matter how much of a nazi Elon is.

This is what the sky would be like in the majority of science fiction. If you want space exploration, there will be space infrastructure, and as time goes on that infrastructure will increase both in amount and size, not to mention the traffic to and from.

It is like complaining about the clutter of the marina while wanting to explore the ocean.

I thought we were defederating lemmy.ml?

We’re reachable by propaganda. Arrest Rupert Murdoch next time he comes home.

The furthest node I can reliably hit on Meshtastic is about 60 miles from me. Sporadically there’s a node I see 110 miles away.

With Meshcore I can sporadically hit something 300 miles away, but locally isn’t reliable because the density isn’t as good in my area. Too many dead spots.

Ultimately I’m going to use both, but I’m not putting up any meshcore infrastructure because it’s not FOSS and Meshtastic has more inertia here.

Buy two devices and flash both. See what your locals are doing.

I’ve tried both side by side, ultimately you can tune out Meshtastic to cover a metro area pretty well. Mesh core is better at linking regions together, but ultimately it’s not fully open source. Like you gotta buy some firmwares.

My local area, and many others have active contributors to Meshtastic apps and firmware, I feel more comfort in that than reaching people in the next state over.

Once upon a time I felt guilty and didn’t apply to a government assistance within the required window.

I almost lost everything.

Always apply and take everything they will give you.

The other thing that keeps Apple in business is tech companies not wanting to fuck around with windows or Linux laptops. Linux systems run the world and MacOS is just plain better when it comes to interacting with those systems while also serving as a good user-facing operating system.

And before anyone says WSL, I was forced to use WSL for an engagement and anyone who tells you it’s viable is a lying or a Stockholm syndrome sufferer.

Your political narcissism is incurable. Enjoy fucking people over for your feels.

Did you vote for Kamala or did you allow Trump to take power?

NASA has contracted out basically all their rockets. We need spacex. Elon needs to be in jail. If only for threatening national security with this dumb move. Never mind being a Nazi and election interference.

Keep going they’re almost there.
