Ten pictures of Feddit users reacting to clickbait headlines that will make you say “no, these are all trains. No, I’m complaining as such, I like trains, I just… I thought… No, the headline said something about… reactions, yeah, and ins- actually, hang on, how did you get in here?”
Fedi Punter in Media Lingo Rant Slam: Reaction
So I’m not hoarding Meshtastic nodes, I’m just getting ready. Got it!
Honestly I’m loving my FP5. I liked my previous two handsets, but between locked bootloaders and lack of support after a few years they weren’t much use to me. I’m looking forward to a another eight years or so with this one, though.
I get the tone of the conversation here (i.e. “hah, good”), but Dubai is a metaphor-made-real for the future world at this point. The wealthy elite in their glittering towers who gorged on a burning planet are fine. They’re far above the water and their biggest inconvenience is the damp wheels of their nine-litre civilian tanks at the water laps on the twenty-lane highways, and that’s the photo that is being splashed across every page. But their wealth and prosperity was built on the backs of the millions of slaves living in shanties and slums living under those highways and on unpaved wastelands. They’re dead but they’d already been marginalized by the elites to the extent that they were legally not really people anyway. They’re disposable and replaceable, they will be disposed of and replaced.
Any hardship experienced by the elite minority will be borne a thousand times over by the proletariat majority. We really need to be careful what we wish for.
Forever in our hearts, rnoưe, you w’ll stay,

They’re inflated number for real-world use, but years ago I did a pointless experiment with some friends where we posted a Motorola Android phone to each other to ‘map’ the postal network. The phone was packaged up with everything that could be turn off, only GPRS data enabled and took GPS reading once a minute (or every five minutes when stationary) and posted them to a web server. Even after two weeks it had well over 50% of its battery left.
I hope the management at the local 104.9FM radio station appreciate the product placement.
Fucking Home Assistant. It does so much. I won’t entertain any smarthome gadget that doesn’t support a local standard that gets it into HA. It’s so liberating to be able to buy any old shit from any old vendor and have it work locally 95% of the time.
Soooooooooooooooooooooo IPFS link, anyone?
Some phones, like mine, do have removable batteries. The point of Android is that devices should be varied in design and features rather than interchangeable black mirrors and I think it’s good that Android is still adding features that help facilitate that.
I think Hoyle needs to up the Lancastrian. He’s got the accent in spades, but he needs to start turning up in a flat cap and with a whippet.
