@igd_news wow, i knew 50501 were shitlibs cosplaying as radical organizers, but bringing their own armed and poorly trained "peacekeepers" to these protests is full-on authoritarian shit.

starting to think that maybe the CEOs are projecting when they say that the plagiarizing bullshit machines can do our jobs.

@briankrebs well, i can smell bullshit through a screen, so maybe it's possible.

@noelreports i've been saying forever that congress needs to rescind the AUMF, which every president for 25 years has been using to bomb whoever they want.

@UnicornRiot be a real shame if a stick got stuck in the front wheel

Best thing about #Linux: I type a file name in the search box and I get the file, not an AI summary of the weather in Uzbekistan

police unions are not the same as any other workers' unions. a real union protects members from the bosses and the state, a cop union shields pigs from the public and the alleged law #acab

@ronny @00Aaron Meshtastic is in fact encrypted with up to 256 bit pre-shared keys. There are default channels and keys for easy interoperability, but the possibility of rolling your own private channel is always there.

it's probably time for folks to figure out where their 'shtf' plans from years ago went.

if these plans presuppose that you're going to be a rugged individual survivor, throw them out and start again.

nobody survives alone for long, and you aren't going to be the main character.

@Pamela1960 posting AI slop is rude.

@00Aaron the main thing for us was to space out the nodes. idk if anyone has written a guide or anything, but ours all have default S&F settings after changing the node type. it's only been a couple weeks, so we haven't revisited stored message settings or anything. the improvement is still quite good.

@00Aaron one major thing that impacts delivery reliability is the presence of store-and-forward nodes in the area. my town had 0 S&F nodes when i started, but we all had a discussion, and now there's 4 of them up. i don't miss a lot of messages on the mobile node now.

american civilians are the most heavily-armed nonmilitary folks on the planet, but the fash want you to think that throwing a water bottle at a cop is a shocking level of violence that requires not just the racist and historically violent LAPD, but also marines and national guard to put down. #acab

pronatalist billionaires just can't figure out why people are having less kids.

oh look, it's the global economic system that supports billionaires over people.

every radical born in a democracy, at some point, will believe that they can fix things if they vote hard enough or knock on enough doors.

this passes with time, unfortunately.
