I spent over 100k sats on 2 pieces of landfill trash, because of retailers and other websites and random people lying about LoRa mesh protocols being “open source.”
The goal was already to spread the word about lies these retailers and other related sites spread, e.g. gaslighting users about end-to-end encryption, but there’s no point using the network to spread the word about the lie of being open source. It’s a fool’s errand, the corporations already scammed my money out of me and they’ll just use me to make even more money while I try to tell people to stop wasting the money. There’s simply no productive point when it involves spending money on closed source proprietary shit, and lying about being open source just makes it even worse.
So now I have a SenseCap and a Wio Tracker L1 Pro shipping to me for nothing except to scrap for parts like the batteries, and throw the malware transceiver/computer parts in the garbage so nobody can use them to spread this piece of shit malware cult.
Have fun downvoting/removing/banning me, to the majority here moronic enough to side with the scammers even after reading the truth.
I get that you’re at the Intel buying level of person, but even you should be able to notice that your laptop probably didn’t lie about having an “open source” ISA on the brand’s homepage. I wonder if Intel did either, AMD definitely doesn’t.
Imagine if the AMD homepage was like this
What does that mean? When are we doing level of person now? Am I a greater or lesser level of person than you? Genuinely answer that: am I a greater or lesser level of person than you because I buy intel/amd products?
Anyways, my point was more about Linux still being considered open source.
People don’t keep buying Intel past lvl50, idk what to tell you
Linux can run without AMD64, Meshtastic can’t run without LoRa
Would you like to change your silly back peddling in to a genuine apology?
What’s stopping meshtastic running without LoRa? Just that no-one has yet to write the capability into the source code yet?
First question: I am not backpedaling. I am not a patient or kind person, and my cruelty is not the subhuman Israeli variety. Telling me you buy Intel products immediately eliminates any chance of me thinking you can engage with me peer-to-peer as a fluent English speaker. I hope that makes what I was trying to say clearer, since it seems you struggled to understand the previous phrasing.
Second question: correct, a future multimodal version of Meshtastic is a good, plausible, perhaps likely idea when someone feels like coding it. I’ll still never be involved under a brand name that scammed my fucking money from me.
I can work with that. Given that you do not know “I run Linux happily on intel, AMD, etc, etc.” Is a cromulent English sentence, you have eliminated any chance of me thinking you can engage with me peer to peer as a fluent English speaker. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but that has been eliminated now too.
Thanks that’s all I needed. You are a deeply un-serious person with a deeply un-serious point.
Just as an aside. If you have to lower the ‘cruelty’ bar to ‘Israeli Genocide’ in order go clear it, introspection may be required.
I don’t wall kids in and bomb them, I just tell harsh truth. If you prefer it other way around, your kind of cruelty isn’t my kind and you can go fuck yourself, idiot.
What does that have to do with meshtastic being open source, while LoRa is not? Please stay relevant to the thread.
You’re just confirming that you are incapable of communicating with me, peer-to-peer, as a person fluent in English. I agree that you clear that bar, I think it’s a shame you feel the need to lower it that far.
For your own sake, go do something else. Nothing about meshtastic is worth this much heartache, I promise you.
