It’s definitely limiting. LoRa wan meshed network is more useful. But most people don’t have a LoRa capable device. I could see something like this at a protest or public event at least. If there were enough nodes in the area the network could span hundreds to thousands of feet with the right conditions. But that’s a big ask ATM.
He used different terms in different places. And to be frank, I’m not sure I’d heard about unlicense before. But upon closer look it does seem to be a the goal. Despite not being valid or applicable in a few jurisdictions.
I don’t trust Jack. But this does seem marginally interesting. Actually decentralized, no servers supposedly. We’ll have to see. Again I sure as hell I’m not going to trust dorsey. And he’s got it under some cringey edgelord “unlicense” license which basically appears to be MIT just with a different name. The actual concept seems intriguing. But definitely nothing to get excited about currently.
Unless you consider money charisma. I really can’t agree with you or understand where you’re coming from. Anyone who’s ever known the man as a peer or personally pretty much universally hates him for good reason. Including his Ex-Wives, his father, even his children, and that ghoul Peter Thiel.
People liked the concept of boosted Space travel, Electric vehicles, etc. Musk was smart to invest in them. But he had no contribution of note to any of those companies other than his money. No one ever cared for musk anymore than that. And then once his erol-ness was on full display finally the people who had been fooled had to acknowledge reality.
No it isn’t.
The only way for someone to think he was some awkward autistic rizz master. Was to be fooled.
At one point it was possible to not be paying attention. Getting distracted by the smoke screen etc. But even the most basic look into him and his history. No one would ever mistake him for someone with charisma or talent.
How dare they sully the name of president Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho! He cared as president and took actual action to help the country. Getting the best man for the job Not Sure. And saving everyone.
We’d be so lucky is this was idiocracy. Buy it’s not. It’s a straight up fascist Kakistocracy.
Realistically Kansas City and St Louis should break off independent of the state. Leaving the backwards yokels to wallow in their Missouri. But that’s not going to happen either unfortunately. If St Louis even tried the fascists at the national level would mobilize the National Guard to go crack the skulls of brown people as penance.
I’d love to see St Louis do it. But until we start getting organized ourselves and putting together a proper militia. That can be called to any state to stand against the fascists and intimidate them. There are plenty of militias around here unfortunately having known plenty of them. They’d all jump at the chance to serve the fascist.
That would ultimately be administrative. The Only Hope on that front would be for police officers to care enough to be upset. But they by and large don’t care beyond the paycheck. Give them money and tell them who’s skull to cave in and they are on it.
Fuck the fascists in Jeff city
Rodney Anonymous being one of them. Well I guess he’s not necessarily indy? Though he’s definitely not mainstream. Outside of Punk Rock Girl I’m not sure how much else of their catalog got play… But they are legends up in Philadelphia. Which is where he DJs once a month for ynot radio.
The fediverse provides a platform individuals can completely control if they want. Or at least be free of a lot of unsavory restrictions and associations. And for a punk group like Rodney’s, that is even more important.
You don’t always need an expensive microphone. But a pop filter can make a much bigger impact than you would believe. Honestly the thing I see a lot of YouTubers using often that seems to work out quite well are lavalier mics. Not the traditional desktop microphones.
A lavalier microphone attached to a collar or lapel. Is generally outside of the direct path of your voice. So the need for pop filtering Etc is reduced. Though many of them do provide filters for it. Further since they are generally clipped to you the distance between you and them doesn’t change much. Meaning that your levels stay much more consistent and even. No leaning away from mic and then back in. And they sometimes have a few less issues with assonance.
That’s not even touching the headaches that can be simply capturing footage or streaming in obs. That rabbit hole goes deep. It’s also a lot of fun with a lot of opportunity to be creative.
And as I said in my other post I just don’t tend to listen to many podcasts at all. I have listened to behind the bastards a little bit in the past, Pod save America a couple times. Even the Retro hour a few times with RMC. But it’s just never been something that I have a lot of time available to focus on or desire to. Though I might give it a try.
That’s how it was DJing for me. I never made a lot of money. But I always enjoyed sharing the music. LOL, perhaps someday I will find someone to pay me to do it. But not everyone can be as lucky as Rodney anonymous. Of course it doesn’t hurt that he was famous as well:-)
Some certainly do. I’ve never been much of a podcast person myself. The closest I follow is the Cody Showdy AKA some more news. but it’s a bit more Straight Up Performance than just basic podcast.
I do watch a lot of tech YouTubers. And have done some shows myself. I know the amount of time and effort that can go even into simple ones. They require a lot of passion and drive to produce. And especially for topics like this where there isn’t a lot of money in it. It’s definitely deserves some respect.
I know I’ve been considering Reviving an old program myself. If it’s worth all the work again.
Absolutely. And that’s the real problem. Until we get that figured out. I don’t think anything is going to change. Today we have all the information in the world at our fingertips. But also all the disinformation in the world. Critical thinking is the only thing that can separate them. But it’s A Hard Sell unfortunately. At least until someone’s life or personal possessions depend on understanding it. So there is some hope that only after things have gotten far too bad.
Oh even further than that. All the way back to the '60s and 70s easily. With his persecution of blacks and the Central Park 5. Immigrants are just the most recent Target of his narcissistic bigotry.
Our media at every level barely ever served us. But it’s complete failure in the last half century only facilitated all this. Even those of us here are at risk of being encapsulated in our own little media bubbles and manipulated.
Not sure how we get ourselves out from this. Individually we can value and employ critical thinking. But how do you convince people at Large? When confirmation bias is so much more comforting.
If you are on voyager, tag them and never be unaware again LOL
Yes and no. Trump is two faced. He regularly holds multiple conflicting positions. He told everyone what they wanted to hear. Compounding the problem, many people build media and information / confirmation by us bubbles around themselves. Where the conflicting message never penetrates. Not to say that there aren’t plenty who hear the conflicting message but don’t really care.
Fediverse centric podcast. I’ve never watched/listened. But I regularly see episodes through the new que on Lemmy. They even host on peer tube.
Come on and cut them a little slack. What besides everything the man has ever done would ever lead them to think that he would betray them?
A mind like a bowling ball. Blunt, smooth, and significantly dense for it’s relatively small size.
