On an unrelated note, how to I get Lemmy to block anything that comes from a particular news organization?

Can we just ban the Sputnik propaganda?

Trump: “Sure, I’ll ask him for ya”

They wake up too

I bought a t1000e “tracker” hoping that I could use it to track my bike if it got stolen. Well despite it being called a tracker and having a mode called “tracker” it doesn’t really work as a tracker. It turns out it’s really more of an external radio for my cellphone. It gets me onto kind of a city wide chat channel. Nice but not what I was after.

The really frustrating part is that I think the network and the devices can support a decent tracker …but it’ll take the right combination of dozens of confusing settings. I gave up after about two months of trying various combinations. I even went to a meshtastic club meeting but everyone there agreed that my tracker would not really… track. Sigh.

Just one guy’s opinion and with just a singular goal. If you’re into Ham radio or like the idea of low power radio chirping communicating across great distances… then jump right in.

Thank god for “filter user”

Can we not pretend? Sometimes hard to definitively identify a drone that was shot down. And a copied Iranian drone could be hard to pin down too. But we all know and can see who sent them.

Shower. I do it while the conditioner is “working”.

Something I really envy is the EU controls on food. Much of what passes for food here in the US is heavily processed, GMO, misleadingly labeled, etc.

It’s not a lie if we don’t call them on it

Your very long comment reveals that you understand the analogy but would rather complain about it than address it. Russia invaded Ukraine and is killing it’s people, correct? Digging deep into the geopolitical history to find some kind of reason is very much like apologizing for this murderer. It’s not an academic pursuit or a fun problem to study, it’s “I’ve got tanks and disposable people, I’m taking your land”.

When the schoolyard bully is on top of you, punching you in the face, it feels inappropriate to contemplate his bad childhood.

He (or you) ascribes alot of nuance and careful consideration to someone who has demonstrated nothing but malice and avarice. Putin clearly cares nothing for both the people of Ukraine and his own people. Why are we trying so hard to be understanding to a murderous dictator?

Seems to ignore the reason why Putin wants a non-NATO neighbor, namely so he can invade and control it.

…again

What about “automod”? What if there’s no response?

Lemmy mods respond to messages?

Thinking about lunch, it’s 12:15pm here. Getting over a cold for the last few days.

Translation: the early numbers on unemployment are awful
