For sure. That said PR isn't a panacea. It solves a legitimate issue but it doesn't solve the orthogonal and serious problem of democracy's tendency to represent large capital.

Why is this downvoted so hard? I'm confused.

This is compatible with Meshtasric. It ships with it. Anything running Meshtastic can talk to anything else running Meshtastic. RAK make a whole host of Meshtastic modules. Some complete portable units, some made for stationary use. I'm im the GTA and the mesh is large, 100+ nodes. The main devices used are Heltec V3, RAK WisMesh Pocket/Tag, LiliGo, Seeed Studio. All of them talk together.

I have 6 radios. 😄 Ask me anything, I'll answer and add links if needed.

I too like to help people out but I don't know if we'll survive absorbing Florida and Texas while remaining a federal democracy. We already have Alberta and it's difficult. 😅

(AB canucks, this is a joke. Please don't get mad at me. If you still do, I apologize.)

It's original news created right here - a new tech item expected by some tech enthusiasts has gone out for sale. :D

Could've made a text-only post and linked the store in the body but this is easier.

If it's against the rules or people don't like it, down with the votes / removal it goes.

Threatening people with a good time? A bold strategy Cotton!

Pretty sure about these - Scotty@scribe.disroot.org, Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org, randomname@scribe.disroot.org. The second and third were created within about 6 minutes from each other. I think this one too - Sepia@mander.xyz. There are some others that seem to not be in use anymore.

Oh this one seems to be new - tardigrade@scribe.disroot.org.

Sounds like something they should easily be able to comply with. If the relevant ticket in their internal issue tracker is given priority. 😅

You know, that's bad from a national security standpoint, but it's actually more to our benefit than theirs economically. Basically what they've set up is a system where they give us real, useful stuff in exchange for pieces of paper that go in a pile, and may never be spent.

Yup. And that's where a lot of Canadian profits come from. A shit ton of the commodities we consume come from China, then are (drastically) marked up by some Canadian firm and put on a store/warehouse shelf for sale. Even the stuff we make domestically more often than not contains Chinese components or materials that often have no viable alternative. A sweet deal for some but as you said - it has created a critical dependency.

That's the original title.

 

Interesting idea but I think it's gotta be made to work without helium to be viable.
