Meshcore in Australia is taking off and recently made the first Victoria - Tasmania link. Long distance comms are viable within state with many hops - if you are within range of a repeater hooked into the existing network is possible to go hundreds of kilometres quite easily. We have people participating in synchronous conversations that are occurring over a dozen hops from regional to inner urban anew back again. Yes messages do sometimes get lost but people are creating tools to troubleshoot and track. It’s genuinely doing what I had originally hoped Meshtastic would, but could never get messages far enough due to hop limits and telemetry cruft.

I love this guy.

I read more and apparently the mushrooms were picked by 4yo son and placed on table with mum assuming dad had picked them. Honestly no way of proving that, but if it was what actually happened it’s a bit more forgivable but still, dumb as hell.

I have to say the biggest warning here to me is: fucks sake people, don’t eat wild mushrooms if you aren’t an absolute fucking expert. And even then, I’m not sure they are worth the risk for the meagre calories.

my make and model is not listed (Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV). Just FYI, these are reasonably popular in several markets globally even though they are a JDM.

On track for Handmaids Tale. I really hope this life destroying stays in the US only and doesn’t get approved elsewhere…

Ugh crap, it was approved in Australia by the TGA last year. Yaaaaay.

Very rarely. I have an older ChaDeMo vehicle (Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV) so don’t have as much competition as the CCS chargers, though there are fewer of them I do a lot of highway driving and the waits are usually at the busiest highway chargers, especially if any ultra fast chargers are down.

PlugShare is global, we use it in Australia 😊

Agree. The other part I didn’t mention in the previous comment, is that on average, “people” aren’t really much better off because we tend to ignore the extraction of wealth from the Global South: and those people certainly aren’t better off on average, the bottom 50% of which have the same carbon budget as the top 1% of global population.

Technology plays a role, but the big part of current wealth is the hundreds of “oil slaves” we each have in the West. On the downslope of the carbon pulse this is going to be extremely unpleasant to have to get used to having less of.

I’m waiting for Juice by Tim Winton to get optioned…

Excellent reference.

Oh, it’s dangerous and harmful all right : to their business model.

I think the big G is probably starting to get pretty nervous about self hosting. It absolutely is a threat to their existence. They are nothing without users.

There’s a lot of us fed up with enshittification and every video that helps people break free of their capture is extremely dangerous to them. Seriously.

Wow. I thought it was bad but it is actually worse than I thought.

Madness.

Very detailed and excellent read.

It’s so fucking depressing.

This is great. Kei cars are so fantastic, I love my Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV and all cars with this kind of shape and style are just so damn practical. Would love to see exports targeted to other countries too not just Japan, but that still seems so far off. Sigh.

So, I didn’t watch all of it because an ad about AI came on that wasn’t skippable and was lasting more than 5 seconds. It was intolerable. Seriously, people publishing on YouTube about this kind of thing NEED publish at least one other place & to add links to alternative video hosts.
